Plan Review Issues

1. Poorly coordinated documents.

2. No quality assurance by designers

3. Drawings not complete.

4. Lack of code knowledge by designers

5. Reliance on OSHPD to solve project issues. 

          Field Issues

          1. Artificial Time Schedule

          2. Not dealing with issues in a timely manner. Waiting until an issue is a 1,000 lb

     .gorilla before presenting issue to OSHPD.

 Have we made progress on these?  What are some examples to date?
