The world has seen consensus in design beautiful building by compromising with the quality of material and structure. Building designs are generally outside permissible limits of building construction.
A building design and construction review is a process by which the design of the building is evaluated against the requirements of various authorities. During design review, a team of qualified engineer and architect visits the project, to re-priorities the work.
The following procedure is generally followed by them to carry out their duties:
Listing Down the Requirements
Before moving on to the building design and construction review, the team of reviewers lists down all the requirements of the client by carefully looking upon the requirements of the client in terms of essence and specifications.
The process of design review is followed by detailed solutions to the upcoming problems in the project. They tend to follow a consistent process of designing something by including all the requirements of the quality standards certified by various authorities.
Coordination With other Members
Generally, the process of designing the building is done by internal people or by the people hired by management. These people tend to follow the instruction given by top management only. The building review process includes the incorporation of people in the process of designing the building who are external and unrelated to the business
An external reviewer needs to coordinate with other team members such as lead designers and architects. The team of the external reviewer may include qualified persons such as independent client advisers or external organizations specialized in undertaking design reviews.
Compulsory Inclusion
The process of design review is supposed to meet the guidelines for building construction. The process is an indispensable part of design control and development. It is done at all stages of work.
The process becomes more important to ensure regulatory requirements in the context of medical devices, fire safety equipment, etc. It verifies the feasibility of the project well before it is executed.
Cutting Down the Extra Cost
There may be cases when the proposed design is not complying with the standards or it might be possible that the suggested design is not feasible or practical. When the design is reviewed by an independent reviewer he sees the project from a whole new point of view.
By making essential changes at right times, building design and construction review may save the organization from making unnecessary investments in unrealistic constructions and ideas.
Continuous Process
The review process is a continuous process and is carried out from the beginning to the very end. It is also important that important advice and suggestions are provided to designers from time to time to keep the production on track and avoid the extra delay in the project.
It also ensures that the client's requirements and the budget don't diverge from the track. If needed, the process can also re-priorities various process to avoid unnecessary investments and reckless efforts.
Conclusion
We need to set beauty standards in such a way that they coincide with the construction standards required by the authorities. Building design and construction review ensures that places are not for just aesthetic appeal, the real purpose of the building is to provide safety to the people residing in these buildings.
