In Preparing Construction Plans with Clarity for a Streamlined Approval Process and Constructability , you'll learn ...

• How to gather information during the pre-design stage to ensure an efficient design process
• How to prepare a complete set of engineering drawings
• How to streamline the submittal and municipal review process
• How to minimize problems that arise during the construction stage due to missing information

Overview

The submittal and municipal review process for construction projects can be time consuming and costly, especially if you underestimate the level of attention and amount of work required during the pre-design and planning stages. This webinar helps engineers create well prepared and complete design plans that will streamline the municipal review and subsequent construction processes. The webinar focuses on the various stages of the engineering design process; it does not address specific issues of site design.

We begin this interactive webinar with a review of the necessary procedures in the pre-design stage, where gathering complete information is essential to the overall design, review, and construction process. Next we will discuss ways to construct a complete set of engineering design drawings. You will learn how to create an accurate title sheet and specifications and details sheet, as well as how to note existing conditions, dimension the site layout, indicate grading requirements, document a utility layout and stormwater pollution prevention plan (SWPPP), and create plan and profile sheets. Providing clear design requirements to all downstream parties can prevent costly misunderstandings and problems at later stages of the development process. Finally, we will discuss the submittal for municipal review and look at how you can ensure a smooth review process and provide more value to the end customer.
