- Lack of attention to details in the plans may cause fitproblems in the field , which can lead to delays in work, increased costs, and claims from the construction contractor
- Inadequate attention to details during design can cause confusion during construction, including delays in work in the fieldand unnecessary rework.
- Some design selections can cause restrictions on the methods of construction that a contractor may choose, which can adversely affect the contractor's operations.
- Poor wording in the written specifications can cause misinterpretation of the requirements of the work to be performed, which can lead to poor quality work or costly change orders.
- Overly restrictive wording in the specifications may place restraints on the contractors operations and/or sequencing of construction work, which can affect costs and schedules.
- The selection of design alternatives can impact the procurement of major equipment required in a project, which can influence the scheduling of construction work.
- Requiring stringent inspection procedures in the plans and specifications that may interference in scheduling operations of the construction contractor.
- Designs that are poorly assembled can impair productivity of crafts, morale of workers on the job-site, and lead to legal claims against the designer and/or owner from the contractor.
- The quality of the design documents has a significant impact on the quality of construction and the long term maintenance and operations of the completed facility.
