Benefits of RediCheck
By using the RediCheck services you will realize a reduction in change orders and savings in both time and construction costs.
On projects that we review, we find an average of five errors or omissions per contract drawing. That is 500 potential problems on a project with 100 drawings. Many of these are potential change orders that could demand extra money and time to correct in the field. Some are minor, some are not, and some are real budget-breakers. It is tough funding for a project once; no one needs the hassle of requesting additional funding to pay for change orders and cost overruns.
We specialize in complex, multi-disciplined projects for clients who have capital improvement programs. Based on past experience, we see the following advantages for using our service.
- A reduction in the amount of change orders . Our clients have documented this fact for us many times in the past. It will happen. RediCheck will save you money.
- A reduction in construction delays associated with change orders. Contractors are allowed and will ask for time extensions on change orders. A reduction in delays gives the owner a better chance of occupying their facility on the date expected and planned for.
- A reduction in Requests for Information (RFI's). Not all design conflicts result in change orders involving additional direct cost. Those that don't still require resolution by RFI's, clarifications, and "conflict resolution" techniques. Catching these conflicts prior to construction greatly reduces the need for these procedures and the technical and administrative time needed to resolve them.
- A savings in construction administration time and effort. A single change order or RFI can require up to 14 separate pieces of correspondence between the construction parties.
- A smoother, more "hassle free" construction project. Disputes due to design conflicts create adversarial relationships between the parties in the contract. Design error change orders are not clearly defined and one party or the other feels "wronged" by the final decision.
- A reduction in staff time. Most clients do not have sufficient technical staff to review all of their projects to the extent needed to ensure that the design is complete and the facility is constructible. Our service will free you of this task, and place it in the hands of the third-party professionals who have the time and resources at hand.
- A better facility of greater value. Who can argue that the end product of contract documents that have been proofread is increased overall value for the facility and all parties involved?
We are experts in quality review and that's all we do. No firm has been in this business longer than we have. It is important to be selective. Not all quality assurance firms are the same. We would be most happy to provide you with a list of references of satisfied clients.
