APPENDIX B
PREAMBLE TO APPENDIX B ~ DRAWING REVIEW CHECKLIST
In the design and construction professions, the importance of providing the owner with a
“successfully completed project” is clearly paramount. And itis the opinion of the writers
of CASE that this issue is well understood within the professions.
However, itis also clear that the understanding is not adequately carried forward in the
prosecution of some projects, and, consequently those projects fall short of achieving that
sought-after “successfully completed” status. ‘The reasons for these short comings are
myriad and varied, but chief in importance among them are lack of attention to project
planning, communication, coordination, and the detailed efforts necessary to provide an
appropriately complete set of design documents
‘This Guideline serves to reacquaint the members of the structural engineering profession
and their colleagues in other disciplines in the design and construction profession with
those principles of coordination and completeness. While most practitioners can and will
apply those principles, many structural engineers have found the use of checklists to be an
aid in the production of quality Documents. ‘This Guideline includes, in Appendix B, a
“Drawing Review Checklist,” provided to assist structural engineers in their goals to
produce Documents of a quality that will lead to the “successfully completed project.”
This checklist is based upon the “Checklist for the Development of Contract Documents
and Submittal Review”, prepared by CASE in 1995 and revised in 1997. It has been
developed based on the broad experience of the committee, with the intent of identifying
key elements conceming coordination and completeness, but with the recognition that a
checklist can never be considered to be complete. A checklist should be considered as a
“Living Document”, subject to periodic revisions. Each structural firm should consider
the checklist included in this Guideline and develop a firm checklist, applicable to the
practice of the SER. While the use of such checklists is an extremely helpfal tool, it
should not be considered as establishing a standard of care, or a scope of basic services.
