Quality Assurance (QA)
This page outlines a structured approach to quality assurance when working with Revit, CADmep, and coordination models. QA is a critical process to ensure models, drawings, and outputs are accurate, consistent, and suitable for issue.
Key Principle:
QA should be built into the workflow — not just done at the end.
1. QA Process Overview
A strong QA process typically follows this sequence:
- Model check
- View check
- Sheet check
- Output / export check
- Final review before issue
2. Revit Model QA
Model Structure
- Correct template used
- Levels and grids verified
- Worksets used correctly
- No duplicated or unused views
Coordination
- Clashes reviewed and tracked
- Linked models aligned correctly
- No major spatial conflicts
3. Drawing QA
Views
- Correct view templates applied
- Scale is appropriate
- No missing elements
Sheets
- Correct title block
- Revision and status correct
- Clear layout and readability
4. CADmep QA
Content & Services
- Correct service templates used
- ITM content verified
- No incorrect items placed
Outputs
- Reports checked
- Spooling verified
- PCF exports validated
5. Coordination QA
- All clashes reviewed and assigned
- Actions tracked and closed out
- Builderswork requirements confirmed
- Interface points checked
Warning:
Unresolved clashes or assumptions can lead to major installation issues and rework.
6. Pre-Issue Checklist
- Model reflects latest design information
- All views and sheets checked
- Revisions correctly applied
- Exported PDFs reviewed
- File naming and location correct
7. Common QA Failures
- Using incorrect templates
- Not checking exports after issue
- Ignoring coordination issues
- Poor naming conventions
- Uncontrolled CADmep content
Final Takeaway:
Quality assurance is about consistency, verification, and control.
The best teams embed QA into every stage of their workflow.
