Direct answer

Answer

A drawing coordination review is auditable when every issue records its evidence location, observed condition, impact, responsible discipline, next action, status, and the evidence required to close it.

01

Reference the evidence

Each observation should identify the sheet, view, detail, model export, specification section, consultant source, or correspondence that supports it.

Use stable references that another person can locate. A comment such as 'door conflict' is not auditable; 'A401, Level 02 plan, Door 2-14 conflicts with reflected ceiling grid shown on A621' is.

02

Separate issue, impact, and action

A review record is easier to resolve when it distinguishes what was observed, why it matters, who owns the response, and how closure will be tested.

  • — Evidence reference
  • — Discipline owner
  • — Severity or impact
  • — Next action
  • — Close-out evidence

03

Preserve the review trail

Keep the original observation and append responses, decisions, and closure evidence. Do not rewrite history when the status changes. Version the source set so the team knows which issue belongs to which issue date.

04

Keep approval human

Automation can help find and structure review candidates. It cannot accept design responsibility, determine consultant scope, or approve the issued drawing set.

REVIEW BEFORE USE

Known limitations

  • Automated review can identify candidates and structure records but cannot determine consultant scope or approve an issued drawing set.
  • The reliability of the register is limited by the completeness and currency of the supplied drawings, models, specifications, and correspondence.

These guides support Prompt evaluation and do not replace project-specific advice, code interpretation, consultant coordination, or qualified professional review.
