Assignment Brief: One of your colleagues, in a medium-sized general contracting firm, has produced a set of construction information documents for a small industrial building. Before issuing this information to the construction team, your employer has asked that you review the information to ensure that it is fit-for-purpose. In particular, your employer asks you to:
• coordinate the drawings with the schedules, specifications and bill of quantities.
• identify any information clashes.
• highlight areas where there may be missing or incorrect information provided.
You are then tasked with making corrections to the construction information, ensuring that copies of the originals and your recommended changes are recorded.
Finally, you are asked to prepare a short report on the construction information package that you have reviewed. You will discuss your findings with the original author of this work, as part of both of your continuing professional development.
