01 / Project considerations

What a redline review provides

A redline review is a marked-up examination of the drawings provided for the project. It gives the design team a clear record of the structural comments and revisions identified during the agreed review.

  • Review of the current drawing set
  • Identification of structural concerns and coordination items
  • Marked-up comments for the design team
  • Project-specific next steps and agreed deliverables
02 / Project considerations

Redlines and as-built records serve different purposes

Redlines communicate proposed corrections and revisions to drawings. As-built records describe the project as constructed. Tell us which documents you have and what the review needs to accomplish so the team can confirm the appropriate service.

  • Current plans and their revision dates
  • A description of the review requested
  • Existing review comments or correspondence
  • The people responsible for updating and coordinating the drawings

Common questions

Before you get started.

More details about redline services and working with our team.

Who can use redline review services?

Drafters, architects, home builders and other residential or commercial project teams can request a review.

Does a redline review replace updating the drawings?

The marked-up comments identify items for revision or coordination. The project team still needs to incorporate the agreed changes into the appropriate documents.

How quickly can a review be completed?

Timing depends on the drawing set, project complexity and requested scope. Deliverables and timing are confirmed in the proposal.

Do you provide inspections or construction?

No. We provide engineering and design services only. We do not provide inspections, construction, fabrication or installation. Florida Engineering provides inspections for properties in Florida.

How are fees and timing determined?

The project’s scope, complexity and information requirements affect fees and timing. Scope, deliverables and timing are confirmed in your proposal.
