Why Outsource Construction Document Reviews?
You may be thinking, "Hey, we can do construction document coordination reviews right here. Why should I use a third-party review service?" In our experience, outsourcing makes good sense for the following reasons:
Resources/Time
To put it plainly — many companies lack the personnel or time to sufficiently review the drawings and specs. Often with crunched deadlines or multiple, simultaneous projects, the team that would normally perform the quality checks are simply unavailable.
Flexibility/ Short Term Contracts
By outsourcing construction document coordination reviews, the architecture firm or preconstruction company does not have to 
employ a fulltime review team. Instead, as is needed, they can hire by contract and may actually save money in the long run. This is especially nice for reducing overhead by eliminating the time and money required for salary payments that need to be made even when the work is sparse, unemployment insurance, workman's comp, employee income tax withholding, matching company funds for social security and MediCare, and all of the additional associated human resources and managerial talent that must be employed to handle all of this.
Fresh Perspective
A third-party review team can bring a fresh perspective into the project. A reviewer outside the company is also not confined by procedure and corporate politics and he is less likely to make assumptions and more likely to ask questions. Not to mention that human beings tend to have a bias towards their own work... to see it as they intended it or thought it, not necessarily as it's drawn. They have a difficult time finding their own mistakes. A third party review can alleviate this problem.
Focus
A specialized service company, like the Nigro Firm, has the ability to concentrate on a project without other distractions, such as company administrative and organizational responsibilities, or other assignments. A great benefit of using the Nigro Firm is that we only do coordination reviews... our attention is not pulled in 12 directions!
Coordination
Often quality checks are conducted by a specific team within their own discipline and not coordinated across disciplines. Many of the errors that we discover are between disciplines because of this reason, for example between electrical and mechanical or between plumbing and civil.
