Why Third-Party QC Matters
Uppteam provides third-party quality control for construction document sets. By independently reviewing drawings, we help you identify coordination issues early, maintain discipline alignment, and reduce costly rework during permitting and construction. Our team focuses on your architectural, structural, MEP, civil, fire, low-voltage, and specialty systems, emphasizing consistency and documentation quality at any stage of development when you submit the drawings for review. Major contractors and AE firms trust Uppteam for reviewing projects ranging from mid-rise commercial developments to large institutional campuses and high-rise construction.
Construction documents often change under tight schedules, multiple consultants, and ongoing design revisions. Even well-managed projects benefit from an external review layer that focuses solely on coordination quality and documentation clarity. Uppteam's third-party QC helps your teams:
Reduce RFIs by identifying missing or conflicting information early.
Lower the risk of field delays caused by interdisciplinary inconsistencies.
Improve bid accuracy for contractors through cleaner documentation.
Strengthen discipline alignment before models or drawings reach fabrication or construction.
Enhance your review process with structured, categorized issue logs.
This additional review does not replace design or engineering decisions; instead, it enhances the clarity and reliability of the documentation supporting them.
What We Review
We conduct a coordination review across full or interim CD sets, including:
General & Title Sheets
Architectural Layouts & Details
Structural Plans & Framing
Civil, Grading, and Site Elements
Electrical, Plumbing, & Mechanical
Fire Protection & Fire Alarm
Low Voltage, AV & Security
Millwork, Schedules & Specialty Details
How Our QC Process Works
We begin by reviewing the drawing set and project scope, then apply a standardized QC checklist tailored to the trade disciplines involved. Our team adapts the checklist to match client-specific standards or project requirements.
Our reviewers perform trade-by-trade and cross-discipline comparisons, overlaying PDF/CAD drawings or inspecting BIM models to identify conflicts, documentation gaps, and inconsistencies. We categorize each finding for clarity.
We compile marked-up PDFs and a structured Excel issue log that includes issue type, discipline, location, and comments, providing a discipline-by-discipline issue count for your reference, enabling project teams to prioritize revisions efficiently.
Our design leads, BIM managers, and project teams organize all deliverables for your quick review. We accelerate your project by identifying and classifying issues, so your engineering team can reduce unnecessary RFI delays and operational costs.
Our Quality Check Capabilities
Complete CD Set Coordination Review
Clash Detection & Overlay Analysis
Interdisciplinary Drawing Comparisons
HVAC Load Consistency Check
Complete CD Set Coordination Review
We evaluate your entire construction document package for consistency, completeness, and interdisciplinary alignment. We categorize issues to help your design teams quickly identify what needs correction, including missing information, conflicting elements, misaligned drawings, incorrect references, or documentation gaps.
Clash Detection & Overlay Analysis
We use Navisworks and Revit to detect geometric conflicts across Architectural, Structural, and MEP systems when you share BIM models. In the absence of BIM, we perform detailed PDF and CAD overlays to identify visual conflicts, dimension discrepancies, routing issues, and trade misalignments.
Interdisciplinary Drawing Comparisons
We cross-check multiple trades to verify that your layouts align, equipment locations match, routing is consistent, and discipline-specific decisions do not conflict with one another. This interdisciplinary document review is often where the most costly coordination gaps are found.
HVAC Load Consistency Check
Our review team checks that HVAC loads specified in the mechanical design align with documented building inputs and design criteria, identifying inconsistencies that may require engineer review to avoid common downstream sizing issues in US commercial projects.

FAQ’s
Third-party quality control in construction involves hiring an independent external entity to assess and verify the quality of architectural and engineering designs and the construction process.
Design clashes in architectural and engineering designs cause delays and reworks, which increases the project’s deadline and, as a result, the expenses. Partnering with a third party for quality control ensures the identification of all the design clashes in your project.
Your in-house team may not have the bandwidth or expertise to review all architectural and engineering designs. Third-party quality control service providers have dedicated designers for each discipline who can conduct a detailed review of your designs and highlight the clashes, saving you thousands of dollars.
Third-party quality control can benefit all types of construction projects, from small-scale residential projects to large-scale industrial projects, as design conflicts can enhance costly reworks.
All types of AEC firms, from small to large, and General Contractors are the ideal candidates for third-party QC in reviewing architectural and engineering designs.
The cost depends on the scope of your project, including its complexity, size, time required, and other metrics.
