Abstract
The article deals with an innovative method designed to check project documentation of buildings at the design stage, specifically exploring the possibility to implement FMEA and PDCA methodologies. Based on performed measurements and data collection, it theoretically determines the riskiest areas of the project documentation, which should be given special attention in order to reduce later costs for construction companies to fix the reported complaints. The research proves that the application of the FMEA and PDCA methodology can be very useful regarding the elimination of defects in the project documentation of constructions already in the phase of construction preparation.
Highlights
High quality project documentation is a basic prerequisite for the final quality of a construction project
Experience from practice proves that the processed project documentation suffers from many shortcomings, this is confirmed by the following results of the analysis of expert opinions, which researches the cause of defects in construction projects [2]
For the purposes of the research, measurements, or a comprehensive collection of data on the claimed defects was performed within the operating unit of a large construction company operating in the Czech Republic
Summary
High quality project documentation is a basic prerequisite for the final quality of a construction project. The quality of the submitted project documentation in the design phase significantly affects the result of the construction project after its completion and during usage, both in financial and qualitative terms [1]. The issue of the project documentation quality in the commercial sector is often underestimated. Experience from practice proves that the processed project documentation suffers from many shortcomings, this is confirmed by the following results of the analysis of expert opinions, which researches the cause of defects in construction projects [2]. A total of 346 defects (i.e., 64 %) were related to the design or the concept itself (i.e., a defect that was already present in the project documentation of the construction)
