Construction Drawing QA/QC Checklist
A comprehensive checklist for reviewing construction documents before they reach the field
Quality control on construction drawings is one of the highest-ROI activities in project management. Every issue caught during plan review is an RFI avoided, a change order prevented, and a schedule delay eliminated. This checklist covers the critical categories that cause the most problems in the field.
1. Cross-Discipline Coordination
Cross-discipline coordination is the most common source of field issues. See our guide on finding clashes in 2D drawings for detailed techniques.
2. Dimensions and Measurements
