Hello,
We are a consulting design firm and we review construction documents from our contractors versus the bid documents.
We estimate construction document reviews by calculating the time it takes to review the submittal and then tacking on some factor (usually 1.5) with the assumption that about half the drawings will come back for a second review.
In some cases we get very poor contractors that WILL NOT comply with the contract documents which causes multiple submittals. Even after a review detailing the changes that need to be made.. drawings come back only partially corrected - and at times with NEW problems. One set of drawings I am reviewing are at Revision 8 and counting!
Have you? or Do you believe there is a legitimate claim to go back to the owner and for more $?
