Construction document reviews can positively and negatively impact project schedules and budgets. And this largely depends on how well you manage the construction document review process. Let’s look at how construction document reviews affect project schedules and budgets.
Effects of construction document reviews on project schedules
When you review construction documents according to the stipulated days in the contract, this ensures that the entire team follows the project schedules as planned since a delay in any of the construction document reviews will delay the project. Thorough construction document reviews also help save time and allow you to go according to schedule as you will be able to detect risks and mitigate them during the pre-construction phase.
However, you will experience project delays if stakeholders do not review the documents within the stipulated days in the contract. And when reviewers do not thoroughly review documents, it will affect the outcome of the project and this will lead to delays arising from fixing errors and defects during and after construction.
