Most expensive plumbing problems are visible on the drawings if someone with field experience looks: a sanitary main without enough fall to reach the tap, a water heater with no route for its vent, a grease line running through a stair, or 'by others' on a system nobody is carrying.
We review from the perspective of the people who will build it. The result is a numbered comment log you can send to the design team, plus a scope matrix so every plumbing item has an owner.

Scope Reviews FAQ
Are you the engineer of record?
No. We provide an independent constructability and scope review. Design changes are made by the engineer of record, who can use our comments.
Can you verify existing conditions for a finish-out?
Yes. We can visit the space to check tap locations, inverts and existing utilities so the drawings match reality.
What projects do you review?
Restaurants, retail, office finish-outs, multifamily, medical and light industrial, plus custom residential with commercial-scale systems.
