INTRODUCTION
This document outlines the technical and quality checklists to be used during design control and
engineering review for DAAR projects. In addition to the contract requirements, these checklists
addresses the need to verify the information contained related to the design of DAAR
residential/commercial projects, facilities and structures.
By having design controls in place in the procedures, the chances of errors and design failures
are minimized, which would prevent damage to property or loss of life, help maintain credibility
and reputation, potentially save money, and minimize liability.
The development of design and selection of construction methods and materials shall proceed
to meet the design objectives, to include: feasibility, constructability, reliability, operability, and
maintainability, sustainability, occupant and building safety, flexibility for future changes,
durability, less redundancy, resource availability, timely delivery of customer/market
requirements of performance, convenience, quality, and aesthetics at the lowest overall cost.
Good design is achieved by appropriately balancing the fundamental design objectives.
Compliance with the standards and guidelines alone does not guarantee good design.
Administration
1. Verify Coversheet information and spelling corresponds to
project brief/manual.
2. Verify stamping and signing of consultant’s document
3. Verify index sheet corresponds to drawings and titles.
4. Verify Abbreviations and symbols correspond with
abbreviations and symbols in the documents.
5. Verify conformance of building codes, life safety, fire
protection, zoning, Civil Defense or other governmental
authority. Obtain written approval for any variance
Civil
1. Verify existing conditions with owner furnished information, i.e.,
surveys, topographies, zoning, utilities, easements, etc.
2. Verify that existing to remain power/telephone poles, pole
guys, drainage inlets, manholes, valve boxes, street signs, etc.;
do not interfere with new site improvements or landscaping.
3. Verify that the new power/telephone utilities, grease traps, fuel
tanks, etc., do not interfere with new site improvements,
existing conditions or landscaping.
4. Verify site limits of construction, i.e., clearing, grading,
landscaping, utilities, building, etc.

match the architectural drawings.
6. Verify that the limits of slabs on the structural drawing match
the architectural drawings.
7. Verify that the expansion joints through the structural
drawings match the architectural drawings.
8. Verify the footings depths and coverage with the existing and
final grades.
9. Verify that foundations piers, footings, grade beams are
coordinated with schedule.
10. Verify that footing and pier locations with the new and existing
utilities, trenches and tanks.
11. Verify the foundations wall elevations match the architectural
drawings.
12. Verify that the locations of floor & roof framing column lines
and column orientation match the foundation plan column
lines and column orientation.
13. Verify that the structural perimeter floor and roof lines match
the architectural drawings.
14. Verify that the section and details callouts are proper and
cross-referenced.
