Why IPC MEP Compliance Matters

International Plumbing Code compliance for mep drawings is critical because violations discovered during plan review delay permits, and issues found during construction result in costly rework, change orders, and schedule delays. Catching IPC mep issues during preconstruction costs 10x less than fixing them in the field (CII, 1-10-100 Rule).
