What is MEP
MEP stands for Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing — the complex network of systems that makes a building fully functional, safe, efficient and comfortable for occupants.
At United Middle East (UME), our MEP offering integrates expert design, precise engineering, and professional execution to provide complete electromechanical solutions for residential, commercial, industrial, and mixed-use developments.
