RETTEW CAD Markup Workflow

RED YELLOW GREEN REVIEWS

Colors are an effective way to convey when changes are made during the QA/QC process. Red, yellow, and green are three colors that provide a visual and auditable trail while checking and marking up plans to assure compliance with RETTEW’s Quality Management Plans.

Along with the three colors, there are generally three steps in the mark-up process and three or more individuals responsible to assure all plan corrections have been made.

RED is initially used to mark up plans with a red pen or pencil noting corrections to be made. This is done by the Project Manager and Phase Managers responsible for the overall quality, correctness, and accuracy of the plans.

YELLOW is used by the Designer making the corrections to highlight the corrections that have been completed.

GREEN is used by the individual responsible for back- checking the corrections. This may be the same Project Manager and Phase Managers, or it could be a third- party reviewer. Ultimately, the Licensed Professional who is responsible for signing and sealing plans and certifying plan correctness and accuracy is responsible for assuring the checking process has been properly followed and completed.

After each step in the process, plan mark-ups should be scanned and stored in the QA/QC folder. Service Area Quality Management Plans include plan checklists, which should also be used during the process, with completed items checked off when finalized. Plan checklists should also be initialed and filed in the QA/QC folder. For further instructions on plan checking procedures and checklist locations, refer to your service area’s Quality Management Plan.
