Building Checklist

[Anonymous]

Does anyone know where i could get a copy of a "Building Checklist"?
I am creating a Building Checklist so that I could run thru quickly before
issueing the contract documents for tender so that I don't miss anything, or
reduce the amount of items missing. Some of the items on the list would be
louvres, hose bibs, roof hatchs, etc.
All I really need is a base document that I could start from, I realize that
I will be adding various items as time progresses.

Any feedback would be appreciated.

You might check with the building department. Many offer a checklist that
covers the architectural issues that that are expected to be covered and how
(and every jurisdiction is a little different), as well as what drawings
need to be included. Then also you might look at Fred Stitt's books,
especially 'Working Drawing Manual'. This has very extensive checklist for
architectural content.

Ryan,

May not be what you're looking for, but I thought I would mention it.
It's published by AIA, American Institute of Architects. If you do a
search using google.com and D200 Project Checklist, you'll find info.

D200, the Project Checklist, is a convenient listing of tasks a
practitioner may perform on a given project. This checklist will
assist the architect in recognizing required tasks and in locating the
data necessary to fulfill assigned responsibilities. By providing
space for notes on actions taken, assignment of tasks and time frames
for completion, this document may also serve as a permanent record of
the owner's, contractor's and architect's actions and decisions, 1995.

Why can't the Civil field be so nicely organized?...

Tom,

Would any of these be checklist tasks be in template formats for either
Primavera or MS Project ?

I was just thinking the same thing... Apparently great names think alike!

Try automotive manufacturing support.
The Big Three. Every plant has different specs.
Well so do the suppliers we buy from.

Tracy,

Outaluck! As far as I know, AIA sells/provides them in a printed
format (order documents through AIA state chapters) or in an
electronic pdf format. And to be honest with you, although I provided
the info for the document, I have never used it in 25+ years AEC
work... and never had an occasion where "errors and omissions"
insurance was required!

Something about a "checklist" that doesn't quite account for the fact
that in architecture/engineering every project is unique.
"Knowledgebase" research and passing on knowledgebase info within a
firm/company sounds a lot more promising and interesting.

Be very careful when you infer that your profession should emulate the AIA

I have always felt that a checklist for the things that are consistent
allows you to do that work quicker, freeing up more time to focus on the
things that make that project unique. Kind of like a detail library for
common stuff, so you really have time to detail the stuff that was invented
just for that project.

Best,
Gordon

Yes, I see your point! Do you use the AIA project checklist or have
specially developed in-house checklists?

Our office uses custom checklists, because we include office philosophy
stuff. A basic checklist item might be "Halls 3' min." whereas a more
detailed version might be "Halls 3' min., coordinate with trim width, 2"
min. between trim & wall." I just made that up, so it isn't a great example,
but you get the point. It helps in design & documentation, and it helps new
people get a feel for how the office works.

Best,
Gordon

I think they meant why can't civil engineers think as logically and clearly
as architects.....:) note the smile there?
