FIRM QUALIFICATIONS Quality Assurance and Control METHODOLOGY USED TO ASSURE QUALITY CONTROL AND ASSURANCE The key to developing quality design and construction documents is the continuous involvement of the same project manager who serves as the liaison between the client and the project team, communicating information to staff members via formal and informal meetings. The Principal-in-Charge, Jason Foote, PE, works with the Project Team to regularly evaluate the project scope to ensure that the project remains on track. Project design review sessions provide the opportunity to confirm that design solutions are aligned with the scope and budget. All CPL professional staff members have a responsibility to ensure both quality design and client satisfaction throughout the life of a project. Independent In-house Review Print Review of Drawings and Specifications Our work products are independently and objectively We have access to many tools that aid in the quality reviewed in-house by professional staff members who assurance of our contract documents, including a are familiar with both the project and the needs of the critical review of each drawing sheet and specification client, but who are removed from the actual hands-on section by an experienced professional. This design. task involves the review of printed drawings and specifications for content and completeness based Critical Path Schedule on the stage of design. We also use specially prepared In-house project milestones are strategically developed project design checklists, which reference scope items in the design schedule as checkpoints to review and details that are to be completed for each phase progress of the documents with respect to drawing, of the design process. With these quality assurance specification and interdisciplinary coordination. Critical procedures in place, our construction documents are of path decisions are reviewed to ensure the team is the highest quality, minimizing the potential for costly prepared to move to the next phase of the design. changes during the construction period. These checkpoints allow for better quality control as they are performed during each phase of design. “Quality This process reduces the number of changes to the documents at the end of the construction document phase and minimizes potential errors that are created means doing when items are modified at the end of the design. Technology Resources it right when Advances in technology have made a positive impact on quality assurance. With design programs like CIVIL 3D, our project team can work on the same drawing simultaneously. This technology allows for no one is resolution of detail conflicts in real time, allowing our design professionals to solve design issues before they become construction problems. We have established looking” in-house CIVIL 3D standards to reduce the potential for errors and inconsistencies. We regularly review our CIVIL 3D standards to ensure that we are current with design trends. Part of this review includes making recommendations for changes in document preparation, software and training needs. -Henry Ford 12 Page 82 of 301
