DOCUMENT QUALITY SPECIALIST
HELPING DESIGN FIRMS INCREASE THE QUALITY OF THEIR DOCUMENTS + OWNERS MANAGE AND CONTROL PROJECT CONSTRUCTION COSTS
Why?
Document Quality has a broad range of effects on your business, from improved client relations and loyalty, higher profitability, increased efficiency and higher productivity in your business. Quality's best impact is maintaining budgeted project costs and schedules, inevitability saving you and your clients money.
Redline Architectural Consultants supports both Design Firms & Owners on their design projects, by helping to control construction cost creep and maintain project schedules through Quality Cross-Discipline Coordination Reviews and Technical Quality Peer Reviews of design documents through all project phases. The building and construction industry has changed the way design firms work over the last 15-20 years. Design firms must complete the work FASTER under shorter schedules, with the same design processes and tasks, and still try to maintain a level of QUALITY in their documents. Where does that lost time come from? The PROBLEM is they don't have enough time to dedicate to training their staff; implementing and maintaining their quality management programs; along with completing their project design work on time. That's where Redline Architectural Consultants can help. We take the Quality Assurance efforts off the design firms’ plate, freeing up their valuable time to concentrate on the design aspects of the project. By offering independent cross-discipline coordination, constructability, and technical reviews of their documents through all phases of the project. Redline can assist in helping them increase the quality of their documents; meet their deadlines; reduce document errors and omissions, thus reducing design firm liability; all of which can decrease their clients cost of change orders and increasing their profitability by reducing the efforts due to changes in the construction phase.
High Quality = Cost Reduction
