Solvix International provides design verification and technical audit services for clients who need an independent, structured review of whether design information is fit for purpose, coordinated across disciplines, aligned with project requirements, and sufficiently robust for procurement, construction, commissioning, and operation. We work across buildings, infrastructure, and complex engineering schemes to identify risks early, clarify technical uncertainties, and improve decision-making before issues translate into rework, delay, cost growth, or disputes.
Review design packages, specifications, calculations, BIM outputs, interfaces, and technical schedules through a risk-focused lens.
Highlight inconsistencies, gaps, omissions, code concerns, and coordination weaknesses with practical recommendations for closure.
A design verification and technical audit can be configured as a gateway review, targeted issue review, independent technical due-diligence exercise, or recurring quality-assurance support across key design stages.
Check whether the design brief, basis of design, performance requirements, and technical criteria are clear, internally consistent, and traceable through the package.
Review whether the package appears aligned with applicable codes, standards, employer requirements, and project-specific technical obligations.
Assess interfaces between structural, architectural, civil, MEP, fire, façade, and specialist systems to expose clashes, overlaps, or missing responsibilities.
Evaluate whether the design can be sequenced, procured, installed, tested, and maintained in a practical way within project constraints.
A design verification or technical audit can be carried out at a design stage gateway, before tender, before construction, or when a specific technical concern has been raised.
The design is checked against the brief, basis of design, and stated performance requirements.
Conflicts between disciplines, drawings, and specifications are identified before they reach site.
Findings are graded by severity and assigned to the responsible designer for closure.
Design issues that are not resolved before tender or construction usually reappear as RFIs, variations, and delay. An independent review identifies them while they are cheaper to fix.
Independent review of design packages at concept, developed, or technical design stage.
Check of design completeness and coordination before issue to tender.
Review of contractor-designed elements for compliance with employer requirements.
Review of interfaces between structural, architectural, MEP, and specialist packages.
Assessment of whether the design can be built, sequenced, and maintained practically.
Focused review of a specific system or issue where concerns have been raised.
Does the package clearly reflect the project brief, basis of design, scope boundaries, and stated performance requirements?
Are there contradictions between drawings, details, schedules, specifications, models, and supporting calculations?
Do interfaces between disciplines appear coordinated, or are there clashes, duplicated assumptions, and unallocated responsibilities?
Are key technical assumptions, loading criteria, utilities data, site constraints, approvals, or third-party inputs properly captured?
Could unresolved technical issues affect procurement strategy, construction sequencing, safety, commissioning, or long-term operation and maintenance?
Measures commonly used to report design review findings and track their closure
Number of critical, major, and minor findings.
Distribution of findings across design disciplines.
Unresolved clashes and interface conflicts.
Outstanding technical queries and decisions.
Share of findings closed by the responsible designer.
Status of drawings, specifications, and calculations against the deliverable list.
Our methodology is disciplined but adaptable. The exact scope depends on project maturity, discipline mix, contract context, and the client’s decision objective, yet the same core principle applies throughout: convert large volumes of technical information into clear, prioritised findings that improve confidence and reduce avoidable risk.
agree the objectives, package boundaries, disciplines, reference documents, applicable standards, and reporting format.
examine drawings, specifications, BIM files where available, design criteria, calculations, schedules, and supporting records.
compare intent, detail, interfaces, assumptions, and deliverables to identify gaps, contradictions, and risk areas.
consider procurement practicality, installation sequencing, access, maintainability, testing, and commissioning implications.
assign severity, likely consequence, affected discipline, required action, and any dependency on external approvals or further data.
issue a structured report, findings matrix, and recommended next actions for designers, project managers, and senior decision-makers.
The strength of any technical audit depends on the quality and maturity of the design information provided. We work with the available record set while making clear where assumptions, missing information, or unresolved dependencies limit certainty.
Design verification typically focuses on whether a design satisfies defined requirements and intent, while a technical audit often adds a broader governance and risk lens covering completeness, coordination, constructability, and readiness.
The primary purpose is independent review and advisory support. Where appropriate, Solvix can outline options, clarify issues, and support the design team or client with technically informed recommendations.
Yes. This service can connect directly with BIM modelling and coordination, procurement review, construction audits, claims avoidance work, and wider technical or project-controls support.Yes. This service can connect directly with BIM modelling and coordination, procurement review, construction audits, claims avoidance work, and wider technical or project-controls support.
We combine technical review discipline with an understanding of programme, procurement, commercial risk, and dispute sensitivity, so findings are useful to both project teams and decision-makers.
Our reports are written to be practical: what the issue is, why it matters, what risk it creates, and what action should happen next.
The service can be scaled from targeted issue reviews to broader multidisciplinary audits across buildings, infrastructure, and major capital projects.
