Quality Assurance
Improve your projects by conducting formal Quality
Assurance (QA) reviews to reduce document inconsistencies
and contractor questions. The interface between design
disciplines generates the greatest risk of design errors,
omissions and inconsistencies. Yet, interdisciplinary
reviews are often neglected due to lack of time, funding, or
expertise.
Focus Collaborative provides the expertise and the
resources to relieve the schedule pressure from the design
and construction team. The QA review will pay for itself and
more by saving the construction administration time to
receive, process, evaluate, and respond to RFIs and change
orders.
 When Focus conducts QA reviews all disciplines are
reviewed by an experienced team
and held to the same standard of care. Our goal is to
identify document inconsistencies,
missing information, and constructability issues to help
ensure the construction
proceeds smoothly.
We
find the best coordinated drawing sets still generate an
average of 5 QA review
comments per sheet and the average sets generate more than
10 comments per sheet.
Each comment represents a potential RFI or change order. So,
an average 200 sheet
drawing set could generate more than 2,000 RFIs and change
orders.
When proper interdisciplinary coordination occurs,
everyone wins. Contractors
will have greater confidence
in the construction documents. The design team will spend
less time answering the contractor’s questions and solving
construction problems.
Owners
will perceive a high level of quality from the design and
construction team,
improving the
reputation of everyone involved.
Choose Focus Collaborative to help improve your
construction documents and reduce
your construction administration time. |
