Design Management:Summary

Design Management
Overview:
Errors, omissions and lack of coordination of design documents prior to construction do occur. Failure to detect
them prior to the award of the construction contract may result in the need for issuing costly change orders that
could delay the project completion date as well as cause construction disputes. CMCCO offers a systematic
approach to this problem that will reduce change orders, time extensions and claims so that a successful
construction stage of the project will be realized.
Objective:
To enhance design quality by in-depth independent reviews
of the design documents produced by the consultant.
Scope of Services:
An intensive review of all design documents is made to
identify problems with coordination and errors and
omissions. Recommendations are then made related to
construction feasibility, the availability of labor and
materials, and the time required for procurement and
construction.
