PRE-CONSTRUCTION:
Plan Check/Specification Review
One
of the most valuable services we offer is the "Plan Check."
Once the architect and consulting engineers have completed the plans
and specifications, we complete a thorough review for errors, omissions
or lack of coordination. This enables the design team to make corrections
prior to printing the bid documents.
A properly executed plan check is invaluable for several reasons:
· bid documents can be used as contract documents, reducing
blueprint costs,
·
change orders are reduced, eliminating gray areas and gaps,
·
RFI's are reduced, increasing construction efficiency.
Experience shows us that the cleaner and easier a set of documents
is to understand, the easier the project will be to take-off, resulting
in more aggressive pricing. Documents that create doubts in the
estimator's mind will cause higher pricing to cover the possibility
of errors or misinterpretations.
