The Real Cost of Low-Fee MEP
from Real Time Revolution
Low MEP fees might feel like a win at the start of a project—but they rarely feel that way during construction. In this episode of Real Time Revolution, we break down what actually gets sacrificed when engineering fees are pushed too low, from reduced flexibility and coordination to increased RFIs, change orders, and delays. We dive into why MEP design should never be treated as a commodity, how this mindset especially impacts multifamily projects, and what project teams should be evaluating instead of just comparing numbers. If you’ve ever wondered why “saving money upfront” costs more later, this episode connects the dots.
