Review of shop drawings and calculations

Pursuant to the requirements of the bid documents, Miami Curtain Wall Consultants Corp. review and process all necessary shop drawings to ensure complete fabrication and installation of all required project components.

We also compare the N.O.A.’s to the shop drawings, confirming that the selected system has been approved by the local jurisdiction.

Peer Review of Construction Documents

Also identified as a Critique Review, this service entails an overall comprehensive coordination plan review. The plan review includes code compliance, life safety and constructability of the working drawings. The Construction Documents should be approximately 80% complete for a full coordination review in conjunction with all the disciplines involved. The disciplines generally include: Architectural, Structural, Civil, Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing, Fire Protection, Landscape and Interior Design as applicable per project.
