Plan and Specification Review
Weifield Group Consulting understands the emphasis placed on pre-project planning. We’ve developed a plan and spec review program to analyze every aspect of a project. We want to ensure the owner is getting the best product for the budget. We’ll remove any unnecessary components that will drive up costs, while ensuring that no required feature has been omitted.
We examine each set of plans for constructability issues, including confirmation that the feeders are sized correctly, voltage drops are accounted for, utilization equipment is circuited properly and light fixtures are properly specified for the project. Each project is examined for any errors or omissions, guaranteeing an accurate final estimate. We not only look for technical deficiencies, but also for any areas that can be improved upon with value engineering options. After examining the construction documents, our team provides the owner and design team several options at different price points to ensure the absolute best value, while maintaining the original design intent.
Some of the benefits of Weifield’s plan and spec review are;
- overall project cost reduction,
- filling gaps prior to bid,
- shorter project duration,
- decrease in plan and spec inconsistencies,
- addendum reduction,
- elimination of waste during the construction process,
- reduce the need for costly rework,
- minimize change orders,
- quality enhancement, and
- reduction in specification ambiguities.
We offer this service to ensure competitive pricing. Instead of comparing inconsistencies, more accurate estimates will be guaranteed because of the reduction in ambiguities. By allowing Weifield to conduct a plan and spec review, we can eliminate contingencies and fear factors. The best value is ensured when Weifield Group’s analysis of the construction documents is complete.
