Everyone would agree that preventing any prospective issue in advance would be better than finding a solution for it later. Especially in the process of fabrication Shop Drawings. The designing professional concurs that the review of shop drawing could be the cause for distress and claims ultimately. But, the designing professionals could make the process of review work as per their advantage as way of avoiding the claims from happening.
For example, an architect who has been hired for drawing up the plans for remodel of the old winery. The assignments included make sure that the interiors are consistent with the local coding needs. By following just a few steps, an architect may be able to prevent the claims.
The next step
As per the expectations, the contractor started submitting the drawings to architect for getting a review. The architect then returned one drawing to contractor for the purpose of resubmission as soon as the contractor has cleaned up the particular parts. The contractor ten resubmitted all the drawings for second evaluation. The contractor edited the width of stairway leading to office for making it narrower, a change which wasn’t called for. Oblivious of changes to stairwell, as it was not the portion clearly of the drawings of contractor had to resubmit, the contractor stamped drawings as approved.
Once the project finished and local building codes representatives declined granting the certificate of occupancy, that architect didn’t know why. The narrowed staircase, as changed by contractor and approved unconsciously by that architect, didn’t confirm to local fire codes. Thus, as a consequence, the stairway then had to be rebuilt after dismantling at the cost of the architect.
