MEP engineering is a standardized term used globally in the construction and real estate industries. In Brazil, it has become increasingly important with the growth of commercial real estate and infrastructure projects. The acronym is used as-is in Portuguese-speaking technical contexts, though the full term 'engenharia MEP' is also common. BIM (Building Information Modeling) has become closely associated with MEP engineering coordination in recent years.
