Move site questions forward with the right information
We assess the technical items that appear between project drawings, site conditions and equipment information, and help implementation decisions be taken clearly, on current documents and on the record.
Different drawing versions are in use
There is a difference between the project and what is built
The contractor proposes an alternative product or solution
It is unclear who is to take the technical decision
Revision and approval status cannot be tracked
What the technical office handles
Technical questions
Questions raised from site are clarified against the approved project and answered or routed to the party entitled to decide.
Documents and revisions
Which drawing version is valid on site, what changed in a revision and who has been informed are kept visible in one place.
Products and technical submittals
Submittals arriving during implementation are logged, checked against the approved project and routed to the responsible party; where a substantive assessment is required, the item can be referred to the relevant design or procurement service.
Decisions and actions
Every decision taken is recorded with its reference, responsible party and date, and the resulting actions are followed until the item is closed.
The work is carried out on the project documents, site information and correspondence available for the agreed scope. Information that is missing or cannot be verified is recorded as an open item and reported with the responsible party, rather than assumed.

An example from the site
In an office building under construction, the contractor reports that the distribution board room is smaller than shown on the drawing and asks whether the panels can be repositioned. The question is logged, checked against the current drawing revision and the site photographs, and referred to the party authorised to decide. The answer, the marked-up drawing and the parties informed are recorded together, so the same question does not return two weeks later in a different form.
Within this service Peritus records, checks against the approved project and routes technical items; it does not take on the review of the design itself, the commercial assessment of a supplier or quotation, or the contractor’s quality and workmanship responsibility. Where an item requires such an assessment, it is referred to the relevant service.
