Experience Where It Counts (continued from page 1)

Owen’s team utilizes e-PlanReview® a web-based collaboration software available to municipalities and organizations interested in simplifying and streamlining the process of plan check/ review, and eliminating the cost associated with the process.

Accessed through the internet from any standard browser, through a secure log on, it is available to all project team members and internal and external clients alike.

Plan Checking and Fire, Life & Safety Plan Checking Services; also by the Office of Statewide Health Planning and Development Structural Plan Checkers for Healthcare facilities. Additionally, we hold various “as-needed” contracts with municipalities and state agencies. We design successful structures throughout California with an emphasis on low cost, low maintenance, long life cycles, energy efficiency, sustainable designs, seismic strength, and straight-forward construction techniques.

Owen’s Standards, Knowledge, and Experience Through our extensive review and design work, Owen has become intimately familiar with design standards, document standards, and our own “lessons learned” review guide.

We also maintain and use our own checklist of items derived from our use of “Common Problems” check system for our constructability review experience. Our previous review work has provided us the opportunity to see and evaluate many different architects’ methodologies and solutions to problematic code compliance design and detailing, such as rated assembly wall ceiling connections and constructable steel fire-proofing detailing. We bring this experience to our constructability reviews to offer suggestions to conditions based on similar experience.

e-PlanReview® is environmentally friendly, with a goal to not only to save the cost and to speed up the plan check process, but also to dramatically cut back, if not eliminate paper prints and the transportation and car emissions associated with the old system.

Program Highlights: • Online mark-ups of drawings linked to comments • Standard Comment(s) Database • Streamlined / concurrent team collaboration • View / reports sorted by multiple parameters • Reduces storage space needs • Eliminates paper, printing, inks, and delivery costs Please visit e-PlanReview® http://www.eplanreview.com
