Challenges & Solutions

Challenge - Input Inconsistency - Proper Drawing Interpretation due to Poor Input Quality - We worked on this project based on the hand-drawn as-built documents of 1947. It was challanging for us to do the proper interpretation of the drawing as the input quality was poor. Solution - We raised 20 RFIs and clarifications with our markups and offered intelligent solution to get the quick and appropriate answer.
