Coordination Errors Don’t Have to be a Daily Occurrence

Would you invest $1 to get $7 back?

Of course you would.

Just because it has “always been that way” does not mean it always has to stay that way. The ROI of a coordination review is solid; however, we have found that many in the industry still need a little convincing.

We run into an extremely interesting phenomenon when we explain to people what we do.

To many the benefits of a coordination review are obvious.

People who are not in the construction industry “get it” right away. They immediately see the value of catching mistakes on paper instead of in the middle of the construction process. It’s obvious and logical to them and fits the old adage that “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.”

People in the industry are used to dealing with coordination errors.

When we tell people, who are in the construction industry, how we can help them, they often have a “yes, but…” response. Although people don’t like dealing with the costs, delays, and hassles involved with errors, omissions, variances and inconsistencies in the drawings and specs, they have a feeling that “it’s just the way things are” and that they have to put up with it.

What prevents some from understanding the benefit of a coordination review?

Often people think of their established protocols, methods, systems, bureaucracies, etc. that do not take advantage of a construction document coordination review. The conventional methods are typically the only ones considered, even though the system is not perfect, it is familiar. Of course, changing the process is not an easy task, especially when multiple parties and a large investment are involved. But it is worth the effort.

The advantages of a construction document coordination review.

Reviews performed by independent third-party reviewers are affordable and an extremely efficient way to reduce risk. They improve bid accuracy, help you meet deadlines and position each job for greater overall success.



How much money can be saved?
