Technical Plan Review™Technical Plan Review™ is an integral part of a risk management program. Our review will focus specifically on risk reduction and construction quality improvement. When complete, we will prepare a detailed report that documents our findings and recommendations. Once changes have been made, we recommend that you resubmit a set of plans for a second review.
Quality Built™ Inspections and Training
Professional Review guidelines require comprehensive inspections during the pre-pour and rough trade installations. All inspections will verify compliance with the applicable sections of the Uniform Building Code, architectural drawings, and manufacturer’s specifications when applicable.
Quality Built™ will provide independent, unbiased evaluations and verification for the following:
- Pre-pour foundation
- Structural framing
- Windows and doors
- Mechanical
- ElectricalPlumbing
- Roof
- Insulation
- Exterior cladding
- Performance testing on one model per site
- Duct efficiency testing
- Calibrated blower door inspections
Our field reports are intended to document the specific problems and alert the superintendent for immediate action. A printed field report will be left with the superintendent at the site following each inspection and is to be kept in the superintendent’s binder.
Once a problem is noted, it is imperative that “closure” occurs to avoid liability. Our field reports are designed for easy completion and sign-off by the trade contractor or other person, ensuring closure on all open items. Closure must be reported to our office and will become a part of the project documentation. A final report on CD-ROM will be provided at the end of the project. This final report will include an inspection matrix, photographs, material list, subcontractor list, certificates of insurance, additional insured endorsements and other important information. The builder is responsible for providing this information to Pacific Property Consultants at the beginning of each project and as changes occur.
