About the service
Proof checking is an independent technical review of structural designs carried out to verify accuracy, safety, and code compliance before execution.
At VIKARTAA Associates, we critically examine the design intent, calculations, and detailing to identify potential errors, inefficiencies, or risks. This ensures that the structure is not only safe but also optimized for cost and constructability.
This service is especially valuable for:
High-value or complex projects
Third-party verification requirements
Developers seeking risk mitigation before construction
Our approach is unbiased and detail-oriented, ensuring every design stands up to real-world performance.

Our approach
We follow a structured, step-by-step review system:
1. Document Collection
We gather all relevant inputs:
Structural drawings
Design calculations
Soil investigation report
Architectural plans
2. Design Understanding
We study the design philosophy, load assumptions, and system behavior to understand the engineer’s intent.
3. Technical Verification
We independently verify:
Load calculations
Structural analysis results
Member design (beams, slabs, columns, footings)
Stability and load path
4. Code Compliance Check
We review the design against applicable Indian Standards (IS codes) and project-specific requirements.
5. Detailing Review
We check reinforcement detailing for:
Practical feasibility
Clarity for execution
Error-free drawings
6. Observation Report
We provide a structured report including:
Identified discrepancies
Risk points
Suggested corrections and optimizations
7. Discussion & Closure
We coordinate with the design team (if required) to resolve queries and finalize the design.
