Top 10 Ways to Expedite Design Reviews & Inspections

1)Submit complete drawings & specifications No missing drawings; complete details; specifications edited; all applicable spec sections provided Minimizes number of re-submittals required 2)Get the basics correct Appropriate Use, Construction Type, occupant loads Proper accessibility elements Proper fire assemblies, shafts, dampers 3)Assure documents are coordinated Between sheets Between disciplines Between packages

4)Consult with BCOM technical staff Use BCOM Lead Reviewer as primary point of contact Utilize BCOM staff’s broad Code & technical expertise 5)Use current forms & formats Current General Conditions (CO-7, 7CM, 7DB) Current Instructions to Bidders (CO-7a) Current Contracts (CO-9, 9CM, 9DB) Other current forms (See DGS on the DGS Forms Center) 6)Understand and adhere to CPSM requirements Technical requirements Procurement requirements Special requirements Take advantage of CPSM & VCCO training offerings

7)For applicable projects, follow the Pool Funding Process Understand the Pool Funding Process Assure scope and funding requests are consistent with, and meet the intent of, the Pool Funding Process Consult with BCOM Cost Reviewers as needed Submit required project cost documentation forms (e.g., CR-2, Building Cost Summary) in timely fashion 8)Assure changes during construction are properly approved and communicated Code impact Cost impact Schedule impact

9) Ready the project for substantial completion inspection Remove debris Provide correct exit signage & exit discharge Provide proper labeling of equipment, panels, & piping Pre-check systems before inspection (e.g., fans, GFCIs, locking devices, HVAC controls, etc.) Pre-check for proper installation of accessibility elements 10) Provide complete close-out documentation Certificates of Completion (A/E, Contractor) SFMO Inspection Report Checklist for Occupancy Structural & special Inspections Certification Potable Water Report Elevator Inspection Report

Pool Project Construction Cost Target A summary of the Virginia Building Construction Cost Database is located on BCOM’s web site and contains average construction costs (Equal to a Design Efficiency Rating of 3) for various building types. Project costs that differ significantly from the amounts in the database require justification for the variance in the Project Narrative. The intent of the Pool Process is to encourage the best balance between design and cost.

1.Pool Projects utilize GC Pay; a web-based pay-application form processor. 2.GC Pay mirrors Form CO-12 Schedule of Values and Certificate for Payment. 3.Form CO-12 uses Uniformat II cost structure 4.Uniformat II is organized into systems rather than materials. 5.System costs from GC Pay are fed into the Virginia Building Construction Cost Database.
