Key findings
- Critical
One-hour assembly is labeled as a fire wall
Architectural / Fire Protection
A detail labels an existing one-hour assembly as a fire wall. The review flagged whether that term matches the intended separation and applicable rating.
Next step: Ask the architect to confirm the assembly classification, rating, and governing requirements.
- High
Beverage-line pathway sizes conflict
Architectural / Plumbing / Foodservice
Architectural drawings call for an eight-inch conduit, while plumbing drawings call for a twelve-inch sleeve for the beverage and glycol lines.
Next step: Agree on the pathway size and coordinate the opening and routing.
- High
Stair foundation remains concept-only
Structural
A foundation plan shows stair support posts but also says the work is conceptual and must be redesigned.
Next step: Confirm whether the set is ready for construction and issue the required engineered details.

Anonymized, paraphrased excerpts from a completed project review. These three examples were marked “good catch” in the source review record; that label is feedback, not independent validation. The project total excludes duplicate-group members, dismissed findings, wrong finds, and insufficient-reference findings. Only selected excerpts are published. Customer identity, project address, source identifiers, and private drawings are omitted. Corrections, permit outcomes, and financial savings have not been independently verified. A qualified professional should assess each finding against the complete project documents.
