The elimination of risk is a major responsibility of the owner to make a project successful. Change orders could demand additional costs and add time to your schedule. And once the budget is set and a completion date is established, it is undesirable (and in some projects difficult) to request additional funding and ask for time delays.

Peer Review-AE understands that reducing change orders will save construction time and project costs and - to that extent - our reviews are designed to help your project save time and money.

Here are some of the service benefits of utilizing Peer Review-AE which can help you eliminate risk:

REDUCTION OF CHANGE ORDERS

A properly coordinated set of construction documents will eliminate change orders. Typically, an average set of construction documents will have 4 to 5 coordination errors per page.

REDUCTION OF RFI's (Request For Information)

RFI's generate a lot of paperwork and usually come at a time in the project when everything is critical and needed NOW.

STAFFING

Both the Contractor and the Owner will utilize less staffing when using the Peer Review-AE process. Most owners do not have the staff to review the construction documents adequately to ensure the documents are complete and constructible. Peer Review-AE can help with this task.

RESULTS

With less change orders and RFI's and staffing needs addressed, the project's schedule will not be impacted due to construction delays. Additionally, less change orders and RFI's will help reduce possible disputes from arising between parties to the contract. As such, the Owner, Contractor, and Architect team can work more efficiently when not operating within an adversarial relationship between the members of the team.
