Check List For Structural Review

The document provides a checklist for reviewers to use when reviewing structural aspects of VA construction projects. It lists general information reviewers should be familiar with, such as design manuals, specifications, and standards. It then lists specific items reviewers should check during schematic and design development reviews, such as the selected structural system, lateral load resisting system, and framing plans. Finally, it provides a checklist of items to review for final construction documents, including drawings, special details and notes, calculations, and computer applications. The goal is to ensure structural designs comply with requirements and standards and address all necessary components.
