Review Categories

14 Review Categories on Every Sheet.

Plumb applies the same systematic review framework across the complete package, while adapting individual checks to the trade, materials, and review tier involved.

CATEGORY 01

Dimensional completeness

Every part dimensioned, chains close, tolerances stated.

CATEGORY 02

Weld and joint definition

Weld size, type, length, finish, all-around vs intermittent.

CATEGORY 03

Material specification

Grade, thickness, alloy, mill source, ASTM compliance.

CATEGORY 04

Finish and coating callouts

Surface prep, primer, topcoat, dry film thickness, color.

CATEGORY 05

Cross-sheet consistency

General notes vs detail notes vs schedules.

CATEGORY 06

Bill of materials accuracy

Quantities match drawings, items numbered, no orphans.

CATEGORY 07

Connection design clarity

Bolt type, grade, hole pattern, edge distance, slip-critical.

CATEGORY 08

Fabrication sequence

Sub-assemblies defined, weldment hierarchy clear.

CATEGORY 09

Shipping and handling

Pick points, weights, max dimensions, splice locations.

CATEGORY 10

Field installation

Erection sequence, temporary bracing, anchor coordination.

CATEGORY 11

Spec and reference standards

Specs cited correctly, edition years, addenda.

CATEGORY 12

Drawing legibility

Text size, line weights, conflicting notes, OCR accuracy.

CATEGORY 13

Scope boundary

By-others items called out, owner-furnished material flagged.

CATEGORY 14

Engineering review flags

Items requiring PE judgment isolated for licensed review.

These categories organize the review. They do not replace engineering judgment, code-compliance review, or approval by the Engineer of Record or Authority Having Jurisdiction.

PlumbReview

The documentation review layer for design. Build With Confidence.

Plumb provides a systematic documentation review. It is not engineering, not a code-compliance determination, and not a substitute for review by a licensed Professional Engineer, Engineer of Record, or Authority Having Jurisdiction. Findings marked PE-Review-Required must be reviewed by a licensed design professional before any corrective action. Submittal readiness review checks documentation completeness and consistency only; it does not determine or certify code compliance and is not a substitute for the Authority Having Jurisdiction or your Engineer or Architect of Record.
