Finding the DEVIL in the Details

WHY HIGHRES DOCS?

 

Time is a valuable commodity and resource. All the more so when large investments are on the line. Construction takes long enough as it is, from material procurement to cure times, the speed of project delivery is ever more important. Even small errors can set back completion schedules by weeks. So many external factors can influence delivery time, the design process cannot afford to be one of them. Being part of the solution can help prevent costly delays and possible litigation. An independent third-party review can help prevent lost time and money while delivering a higher standard.

“Larry assisted us in reviewing and checking drawings, quality control, code research and helped with Construction Administration. Without Larry’s assistance we would not have met our deadline nor produced a quality set of drawings.”

With the pressure on the project timeline, many architectural firms find it difficult to budget sufficient time to perform a thorough project document review internally. Without the luxury of having separate staff to cross-review deliverables, deadlines creep up and documents can get issued without a proper review for content, coordination and completeness.

Another factor weighing heavily on Architects and Clients, particularly in this post-pandemic time, is the experience level of internal staff to conduct critical assessment of technical details and multi-discipline coordination.

 

HIGHRES DOCS Because:

  • Help protect your reputation from unfortunate oversights.

  • Ease the staffing burden of not having highly experienced (and high salaried) managers.

  • Provide a fresh set of eyes for an unbiased view of the scope and the clarity of conveying the design intent.

  • Provide unbiased observations on the project deliverable to add an experienced perspective to the content and completeness of the documents.

  • Prevent staff burnout from requiring employees to commit to after-hours time for performing reviews prior to an already burdensome and stressful time leading up to a deadline.

  • Help younger staff understand the substance required in Construction Documents.

When assembling Construction Documents, content is critical, but accuracy and coordination are just as important to maintaining a strong “contract-ready” set of documents. HIGHRES DOCS can provide the seasoned experience needed to close the gaps in construction documents.
