Third Party Reviews
Quality is one of the most important and non-negotiable aspects of building design and construction. Third party inspections have evolved as a way of ensuring quality and resolving differences of approach among stakeholders.
Team Consistent provides third party reviews of the design and inspections for proposed, ongoing and completed building construction projects. Our detailed reviews make sure that all the different aspects of building services engineering have been addressed in the most efficient and sustainable way possible keeping the end user’s requirement as prime focus.
Consistent has worked on a number of projects that involve two types of reviews- at the Design stage or at the Implementation stage. The methodologies vary based on the stage at which our team is brought in, as well as the functionality and energy-efficiency parameters.
For instance, we inspected the Design of a sea-facing Office Building (G+ 32 floors) in Dubai. The objective was to assess the energy requirements and optimize the cooling load to achieve energy-efficiency.
Team Consistent redesigned the office spaces by applying ASHRAE standards. Going beyond that, we took into account the varying occupancy levels and achieved higher results than the standard ASHRAE application.
- Goals achieved:
Cooling Load was reduced by 23% - Reduced energy requirement allowed decrease in the number of transformers: 13 to 11
- Significant savings in initial and operational costs

Similarly, we were brought in to inspect a G+ 12 residential project during Implementation. An extensive site survey was conducted by the team, which revealed several issues to be addressed.
For example, the AC units were found to be over-designed, leading to wastage of cooling as well as greater maintenance costs. Hence, Consistent recommended that the system be redesigned to fit the cooling requirements. Apart from this, a number of irregularities were also identified in the execution of MEP systems, and rectifications were suggested to address them. Know more about the case here!
The above cases demonstrate the level of commitment and skill, Team Consistent brings to its inspections. Going beyond the scope of international standards, our case-by-case approach allows us to provide the highest quality solutions to our clients.
