01 · Hydraulic & Plumbing
Water in,
waste out.
Pressurised cold and hot water supply, boosted riser sets and balanced distribution feed every floor, while gravity drainage carries soil, waste and vent away cleanly.
- Water supply: boosted risers, hot & cold mains, balanced branch sizing.
- Sanitary drainage: soil, waste & vent stacks, gradients & traps.
- Backflow prevention: RPZ & double-check assemblies at every cross-connection.
- Stormwater: rainwater collection, syphonic roof drainage & detention.
02 · Fire Protection
Designed to
protect life.
A coordinated fire strategy ties together suppression and response, from the buried fire main to the last sprinkler head, sized, zoned and hydraulically calculated to code.
- Fire mains & hydrants: ring mains, boosters & landing valves.
- Sprinkler systems: hydraulically calculated layouts & hazard zoning.
- Pumps & tanks: diesel/electric fire pump sets & storage.
- Portable & hose: extinguishers, hose reels & signage schedules.
03 · HVAC & Mechanical
Air, tempered
and moved.
Supply, return and exhaust ductwork distribute conditioned air from central plant, while dedicated smoke-control routes keep escape paths clear in an emergency.
- Ductwork: supply, return & exhaust distribution, sized for low-noise flow.
- Central plant: AHUs, chillers, VRF & equipment take-offs.
- Ventilation: fresh-air rates, car-park & kitchen exhaust.
- Smoke control: pressurisation & smoke-extract ducting.
04 · Electrical & ELV
Power and
intelligence.
Low-voltage distribution carries power from switchboard to socket, while extra-low-voltage systems weave safety, security and connectivity through every level.
- LV distribution: switchboards, sub-mains, cable trays & final circuits.
- Fire alarm: addressable detection, sounders & interfaces.
- Security & ELV: CCTV, access control & PA / voice evacuation.
- Structured cabling: data backbone, comms rooms & containment.
Every system. One coordinated model.
Precision you
can build on.
From concept design to fully coordinated estimation, Calibarium MEP turns complex building services into clear, buildable, quantified deliverables.
About Calibarium MEP
Reliability, engineered into
every line item.
Calibarium MEP is a specialist mechanical, electrical, plumbing and fire estimation practice. We turn drawings and specifications into precise, code-compliant quantity take-offs and bills of quantities that contractors tender and build from with confidence. Our work spans industrial, commercial, educational and high-rise projects across South-East Queensland and regional Australia.
Durability and quality are not afterthoughts; they are designed into the estimate. Every fixture, valve, pipe run and sprinkler head is quantified against Australian Standards, so the package you receive is accurate the first time and dependable through procurement, construction and handover.
Precision
Granular, level-by-level take-offs with risers and drops separated for true cost transparency.
Compliance
Benchmarked to AS/NZS 3500, AS 2118, AS 2419, AS 1428.1 and the National Construction Code.
Coordination
Plumbing, fire, mechanical, electrical and civil quantified within one coordinated package.
Reliability
Dependable, repeatable deliverables that hold up from tender through to project handover.
Case Studies
Complex projects, quantified with precision.
