Our team provided comprehensive plumbing engineering design services for a new 6-unit multifamily residential apartment building in Detroit, Michigan. The scope of work was carefully coordinated with architectural, structural, and mechanical systems to deliver a fully compliant, efficient, and constructible plumbing design.
The plumbing system was designed to support all residential units with properly sized domestic cold and hot water distribution, sanitary waste, vent piping, and condensate drainage, ensuring reliable operation and long-term durability. Fixture layouts were optimized to align vertically between floors, reducing piping complexity and improving installation efficiency.
Special attention was given to:
- Coordination of plumbing risers through multiple floors
- Proper venting strategies to meet code requirements and prevent pressure fluctuations
- Integration of condensate drain piping with mechanical systems
- Clear routing of waste and vent piping to minimize conflicts with structural elements
All designs were prepared in accordance with local and state plumbing codes, applicable sections of the International Plumbing Code (IPC), and city permitting requirements. Detailed plans, notes, and coordination layouts were developed to support a smooth construction process and successful inspection approvals.
This project demonstrates our expertise in delivering code-compliant, well-coordinated plumbing designs for low- to mid-rise multifamily residential developments.
