Abstract - Building Services are specialized systems that are implemented in structures to make them more functional, safe, comfortable, and efficient. Building services have evolved from simple mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems to include fire protection, HVAC, security systems, and telecommunication systems. The building services design that is prepared to be accommodated in architectural and structural design that is difficult. The design coordination procedure resolves the disputes and conflicts in accommodating the MEP system. The design coordination process, which is carried out on a light table using the sequential overlay comparison process (SCOP), has major flaws. The goal of the research is to better understand the traditional design coordination process and the issues that arise as a result of it. The research will also look into the benefits of using BIM for design coordination over the traditional process. Key Words: : MEP System, Design Coordination, Construction Management, MEP Structure

1. INTRODUCTION Modern buildings with more complicated structures have replaced previous ones with simple structures. The increasing need for building services by its occupants has increased the complexity of buildings. The application of new technology to buildings, such as the Internet of Things, solar wind energy production, and so on, adds to the complexity. The architecture and building services' intricacy create difficult coordination issues.

1.1 Problem statement According to numerous studies, faults in the design phase tend to increase the cost and duration of a construction project. [4] discovered through their research that the design development phase is responsible for the majority of rework in a construction project, resulting in project time and expense overruns as compared to other stages. Conflicts in the building phase are also attributable to ineffective design phases, according to the study. [4] The project's financial performance is largely dependent on the building services, which account for 25-40percent of the total value. Even though building service design coordination is difficult, good coordination results in decreased project costs, time, disagreements, and rework. This study will look into the issues of building service coordination during the design development stage. The research will contribute to a better understanding of the current state of design coordination in the industry. Finally, comprehend the significance of BIM (Building Information Modelling) in design coordination.

1.2 Objective of Study The following are the objectives of the study: 1.

To study the managerial prospects of the different engineering elements of the projects.

2.

To manage the coordination between the engineers of different technicalities and maintain the pace of the project.

3.

To enhance an understanding about the challenges during coordination of the different building services.
