Design review and technical verification
Critical assessment of engineering designs across the disciplines we are qualified to author, ensuring regulatory compliance, coordination, and risk mitigation prior to construction.
Critical design review, document by document
We review written documents and drawings across the disciplines we design and issue reasoned opinions to the client.
Reviewed MEP disciplines
Reviewed solely by those qualified to design: HVAC, DHW, Electrical, Telecommunications (ITED/ITUR), and Fire safety.
Document completeness
We verify the presence, legibility, and sufficiency of all pieces required for the design stage under review.
Regulatory compliance
We check strict compliance with the legal diplomas and technical standards in force at the governing date of the design.
Interdisciplinary coordination
We cross-reference routes and openings across technical disciplines, architecture, and structures to prevent physical clashes on site.
Constructability and maintenance
We assess practical installation feasibility and genuine maintenance and operational access conditions.
Consistency of BOQ and sizing
We verify consistency between specifications, calculation notes, and bills of quantities, reducing omissions and variation claims.
Structured five-stage methodology
A rigorous, traceable methodology from the initial qualification check through to delivery of the conclusive report.
Initial check and qualification
Before accepting, we record the review's position relative to the designer and confirm our own qualification to design the disciplines under review.
Scope definition and document inventory
We identify the exact physical asset and formally log every written and drawing document received with version and date.
Technical review and observation matrix
We assess the project across the six verification classes; every observation is grounded in a diploma, standard, or proven practice.
Contradictory procedure with the designer
We submit the list of observations to the author of the design for response, clarification or correction, before issuing any final opinion.
Design review report
We issue a formal report to the client with our concluding opinion, documenting compliance status and outcomes for every item reviewed.
Who design review is for
What you gain with Afazeres Curiosos
Documented starting position
Before work starts, the review's position relative to the designer and the contract is recorded in writing; the opinion answers to the client.
Strict normative grounding
Each observation pinpoints the verified fact, exact drawing location, and applicable article or standard.
Authorship stays with the designer
We identify and justify each non-compliance; correction and design liability remain with the author.
Traceability and transparency
A transparent contradictory matrix and structured reporting, giving the client a robust basis for technical decision-making.
