Needs
ICMQ India’s design-verification and validation service aims to check that drawings and design plans are in keeping with the customers requirements and all applicable rules, codes and standards; it also aims to ensure that plans meet construction and technical requirements apart from quality, safety and environmental plans related to the project.
Approach
ICMQ India appoints an inspection team, coordinated by a project manager, to verify and validate designs and to ensure that all the requirements for an audit have been met. Inspectors are qualified by ICMQ India.
The Project Manager is in charge of preparing a control plan according to the features of the project and to be approved by the customer.
Activities in design validation include:
- assessing processes related to design
- ensuring that customer requirements, codes and standards are met
- verifying design / drawings in their entirety
- verifying structural calculations
- verifying electrical designs
- verifiying HVAC sizes and effects
- verifying bills
- validating quality plans (for construction works)
