Design QA Checklist Pack (22 documents)

£449.00

Design QA Checklists Pack

The Design QA Checklists Pack now includes 22 essential templates covering RIBA Stages 0–7, giving your practice a clear, standardised approach to quality assurance, compliance, and coordination at every stage of design.

What’s inside:

  • Stage-by-stage QA checklists for drawings, models, deliverables, and RIBA Stage reviews

  • Internal and external QA review forms for design coordination and compliance tracking

  • Equality, sustainability, fire safety, BSA, and risk compliance templates

  • Design tolerances, material specifications, and IFC review checklists for technical assurance

Why it’s a good investment:

This pack helps reduce rework, improve design consistency, and enhance compliance with ISO 9001, ISO 19650, Building Safety Act, and RIBA standards, saving hours of admin time while ensuring full design-stage compliance across multidisciplinary teams.

The Design QA Checklists Pack has been created to help architectural and design teams achieve consistently higher standards across all RIBA stages. By embedding structured QA processes into every stage of the project lifecycle, it transforms how practices manage risk, coordinate information, and ensure compliance.

Key Benefits:

  • Improves Design Quality:
    Every checklist provides a clear, standardised framework for reviewing drawings, models, specifications, and deliverables. This ensures critical design aspects are never missed, leading to better coordinated and more robust project outputs.

  • Strengthens Regulatory Compliance:
    With dedicated templates for Building Safety Act (BSA) compliance, fire safety, equality assessments, and sustainability reviews, the pack ensures alignment with ISO 9001, ISO 19650, and RIBA standards. Teams can demonstrate due diligence and readiness for Gateway approvals or building control reviews.

  • Reduces Errors and Rework:
    By introducing stage-by-stage reviews, design risks and coordination issues are identified early—before they escalate into costly site changes or delays. This prevents duplication of effort and reduces the likelihood of information gaps.

  • Supports Consistency Across Teams:
    Multidisciplinary logs, IFC review checklists, and deliverables trackers provide transparency across architectural, structural, and MEP disciplines, ensuring everyone works to the same quality benchmarks.

The Result:
Fewer design conflicts, improved project governance, and a clear audit trail for compliance — saving time, reducing risk, and boosting client confidence in the design process.
