Specs sit in email attachments, submittals live in the project management system, while drawings sit on a shared drive, and RFIs stay in a spreadsheet. Every review starts from scratch. One PE reads spec sections line by line and cross-checks product data against scattered requirements. No standard checklist. No consistent verification path.
The cost of that inconsistency compounds. Rework tied to design and documentation failures accounts for a significant share of total contract value. A missed requirement becomes a resubmittal at best and field rework at worst. Every unstandardized review creates a weak audit trail.
