During the design phase of a project, we provide in-depth reviews of the plans and specifications including the general conditions as a means to mitigate problems involving bidability and constructability, resulting in a better set of contract documents. Our emphasis on quality assurance is part of our claims prevention program, benefiting our clients' bottom line by minimizing RFIs and change orders during construction.
Typically our reviews are performed at the 100% Design Development Phase, 50% Construction Document Phase and 100% Construction Document Phase. DTA's constructability reviews focus on discipline interfaces to uncover any non-constructable or impractical construction elements. Elements that we review include:
During this process, we also provide additional value to our clients by performing a modified value engineering process to identify potential cost savings that we can recommend to our clients without sacrificing function, performance, and reliability.
