Coordination Between Disciplines

Contents: A B C D E F G H A (Click on hyperlink to jump to the sheet checklist) Preliminary Review of Plans and Specifications Demolition Plans Arc hitect and/or Owner Coordination Structural Coordination Mechanical Coordination Plumbing Coordination Civil Engineering Coordination Electrical Coordination

Preliminary Review of Plans and Specifications 1 Quickly review all Drawings in the Construction Document set, including Architectural, Structural, Civil, Landscaping, Mechanical, Plumbing, Fire Protection, Electrical, Food Service, and any other discipline. Spend not more than one minute per sheet, average. 2 Make a list of any apparent discrepancies or questions while reviewing the set, and add flags to sheets where there are significant questions. 3 Quickly review the Specifications by reading through the Table of Contents for Mechanical and Plumbing work. Check the Table of Contents against the actual Specification sections to verify all sections have been included. Make a list of questions that may come up during the cursory review. 4 Review Architectural T itle Sheet, or first sheet in the set, and make a list of the Project Square Footage, Building Occupancy Type, Building Construction Type, Governing Codes, Index of Drawings, and any other information that relates to Mechanical or Plumbing work. 5 Check for consistent appearance of Title Blocks, Drawing Scales, North Arrows, Professional Stamps, Company Logos, Sheet Numbers, Sheet Titles, Issue Dates, and Issue Revisions on all sheets. Demolition Plans 1 Verify that Demolition Symbols (cross-hatching, etc.) are clear and complete, and are coordinated with other disciplines. 2 Verify there are notes regarding potential hazardous materials (asbestos, lead paint, etc.), and coordinate with Architect or other Prime Consultant and Owner.

Extensive Quality Control Plumbing Checklists are available in a separate Plumbing Peer Review Software Package

Contents: A B C D E F G H I J K L

Example of Quality Control Check List Items

Plumbing Underground Floor Plan Return to Table of Contents 1 Read all Sheet Notes and verify they are clear and appropriate. 2 Verify all References are correct. Follow references to indicated sheets. 3 Coordinate Plumbing Underground Plan with Structural Grade Plan. Verify that below-slab Footings and Grade Beams have been shown on the Plumbing Underground Floor Plan, for underground pipe coordination. (If Footings and Grade Beams are not on Plumbing Underground Plan, they should be added to the background). 4 Verify that any pipes passing over, under, or through Footings or Grade Beams have been coordinated with Structural Plans. Check on provisions for sleeving beams, etc. (Click on hyperlink to jump to the sheet checklist) Verify depth of Footings and Grade Beams below floor slab, to check for any potential conflicts. Preliminary Review of Plans and Specifications 5 Verify that Footings and Grade Beams are not directly below Plumbing Fixture Legend and Symbols, and Fixture Calculations Sheet outlets, Floor Drains, Floor Sinks, Plumbing Chases, or pipe drops, such as Storm Schedule Sheets Drains and Overflow Drains. Verify coordination with pipes at Columns, such as Plumbing Site Plan Sanitary Vents and Trap Primer water pipes, to avoid conflicts with Footings at Plumbing Demolition Plans Columns. Plumbing Underground Floor Plan 6 Check for locations of building expansion joints or seismic joints, and verify that pipes Plumbing Floor Plans have been designed to accommodate expansion joints. Plumbing Roof Plans 7 Follow all Waste Pipe risers up to floors above. Place a pencil check-mark on each Plumbing Medical/Lab/Process Piping Plans riser as it is verified to continue on the floor above (or roof). Check for coordinated Central Plant Plumbing Plans locations from floor to floor on each pipe riser. Plumbing Riser Diagram Sheets 8 After following each Waste pipe riser to the top, follow horizontally to the most remote Plumbing Detail Drawings fixture or drain connection point. Pencil in Fixture Units (FU) for all Fixtures and Drains served by each Waste riser. Sum the flow rates (FU) from the remote fixtures or drains, back to the risers. Pencil in the accumulated FU on the plans adjacent to the pipes. Verify that Fixture Units are listed for all fixtures or drains and that Schedules for each fixture are complete. 9 If the Floor Plan has references to larger scale plans (such as Enlarged Toilet Room Partial Plans), follow to the referenced Enlarged Plan. Verify all pipe sizes are coordinated from Floor Plan to Enlarged Partial Plan. Verify the Floor Plan and Enlarged Plan have the same background and are current with the latest Architectural plans. Pencil in the Fixture Unit value for each Fixture or Drain on the Enlarged Plan, and sum the FU to the extent of the Enlarged Scale Plan. Transfer the total flow rates back to the original Floor Plan, for continuation.
