Points to Note onVerification of Construction Drawings and Design Documents of Architectural Engineering
In order to facilitate a project builder and project designer to understand verification procedures, accelerate reporting for review and improve working efficiency, procedures of and points to note onverification of construction drawings are described as follows, in the light of Decree No.134of Ministry of Construction of the People’s Republic of China and relevant provisions set forth by Beijing Municipal Commission of Urban Planning and Construction Project Reconnaissance & Design Quality Supervision General Station of Beijing Municipality(Reconnaissance and Design Administration Division of Beijing Municipality) :
A project builder shall, after completing construction drawings and obtaining a permit for a planned construction project, and before building permission is issued by Beijing Municipal Construction Commission, approach the Institute to handle formalities on verification of construction drawings and design documents.
In reporting for verification, a project builder shall receive from the office of the Institute or download from our website ( Cadreg. Com) and fill out Application Form for Verification of Construction Drawings and Design Documents of Beijing Architectural Engineering in triplicate, which are sent to the Institute after being sealed. The builder shall also provide the following documents and materials:
a permit for a planned construction project issued by the planning management department, and attachment, enclosed drawing, planning opinions;
Verification approval notice or specific examination and approval opinions from relevant department on survey report, fire control and civil air defense;
A complete set of construction drawings shall be submitted for initial review (in case of Architecture, the catalogue of drawings, site plan and general description shall be affixed with special seal for reporting drawings for review and chop of certified architect; in case of architecture and HVAC drawings of residential and public building, energy conservation seal is affixed; in case of Structure, the catalogue of drawings and description shall be affixed with special seal for reporting drawings for review and chop of certified architect; in case of Water, Heating and Electricity, the catalogue of drawings and description shall be affixed with special seal for reporting drawings for review). One site plan of the project architecture (affixed with special seal for reporting drawings for review and chop of certified architect and certified structural engineer, and residential and public building additionally affixed with energy conservation seal);
One set of structure calculations indicating the name and version of calculation software;
Geotechnical Survey Report . (detailed survey);
For the following architectures, data on energy conservation calculation shall be separately submitted:
Residential building: calculation sheet of heat consumption indicator of building(《Criteria on Design of Energy Conservation of Residential Building》DBJ01-602-2004, Appendix A).
Class A public building (area of single architecture more than 20,000 m2, fully equipped with A/C system): three sheets including thermal property judgment (Criteria on Energy Conservation Design of Public Building, DBJ01-621-2005, Appendix D-1, D-4, D-5; Class B public building (public building other than Class A public building): three of four sheets including thermal property judgment (Criteria on Energy Conservation Design of Public Building, DBJ01-621-2005, Appendix D-2 (or D-3), D-4, D-5);
Recording form for bidding and tendering of design scheme (photocopy);
Other materials necessary for verification (to be determined according to specific conditions of the project).
After initial procedural review is done for the documents and materials provided, the project builder enters into a review contract with this Institute.
Contents of technical review of construction drawings for architectural engineering:
Whether they conform to compulsory provisions of the national standards on engineering construction;
Safety of foundation base and main structure;
Whether the survey and design enterprise and certified practitioners and related personnel have sealed and signed on the construction drawings as required;
Other contents required to be reviewed by law, regulation or rule.
This Institute will, after the project builder has submitted complete materials for review, after the contract becomes effective and within the stipulated time limit (15 working days for Grade I or above architectural engineering, 10 working days for Grade II or below architectural engineering), complete initial review of the project.
If after initial review, construction drawings are proved disqualified, the project designed shall be revised. This Institute will issue two copies of Review Opinions on Construction Drawings and Design Documents for Beijing Architectural Engineering and one copy of Points for Attention in Revision and Re-examination of Drawings. And the project builder shall notify (and assist) the project designer of revising the drawings. For the revised construction drawings and design documents, there shall be supplemented to three complete sets of drawings. For Architecture of the development project for the purpose of sale, two additional drawings for sale and mapping use, together with the reply opinions of the project designer to the review opinions, shall be made and reported for re-examination.
If construction drawings are found qualified after review, two copies of Review Qualification of Construction Drawings and Design Documents for Beijing Architectural Engineering and Review Report on Construction Drawings and Design Documents for Beijing Architectural Engineering, and three sets of construction drawings affixed with construction drawing review seal (5 sets in case of the project for sale purpose) will be provided, and the Geotechnical Survey Report, structure calculations, etc. will be returned. One notice received by the project builder is used for purpose of handling construction commencement license, and the other is filed for project acceptance. Two copies of drawings affixed with construction drawing review seal is filed by the project builder, and the other copy is filed by the project designer; for two additional copies of architectural drawings for project for sale purpose, one is used for mapping, and the other is used for sale.
Charges for re-examination are determined according to the revised review quantity of work, generally, no charges are required.If additional charges are needed, a supplementary agreement shall be concluded. Time limit for re-examination is in principle calculated according to one half of the time limit for initial review.
Upon receipt of Review Qualification of Construction Drawings and Design Documents for Beijing Architectural Engineering and Review Report on Construction Drawings and Design Documents for Beijing Architectural Engineering, charges for review are paid in full.
If the project builder holds different opinions toward the review report, a formal written document shall be provided, and this Institute will give written reply within five working days. If disputes still exist, the project builder may institute an application for re-examination to Reconnaissance and Design Administration Division of Beijing Municipality.
This Institute will, on each Tuesday, submit the review results for the construction drawings and design documents of each project reviewed in the previous week to Reconnaissance and Design Administration Division of Beijing Municipality for record.
Once reviewed and approved, construction drawings and design documents shall not be materially revised without permission. In case the reviewed main contents need to be revised under special circumstance, review must be re-done by this Institute, and then revision is made.
In acceptance of architectural engineering once completed, relevant departments will conduct acceptance according to the reviewed and approved construction drawings and design documents.
