Identify the current drawings, models, specifications, surveys and assigned project files.

02

Define the Production Basis

Confirm the required area, discipline, model detail, scope and output requirements.

03

Develop the Package

Produce the assigned BIM, CAD, quantity or documentation information.

04

Coordinate Disciplines

Review applicable architectural, structural and MEP interfaces within the defined scope.

05

Review & Issue

Check scope, revisions, coordination status and required outputs before delivery.

A structured digital workflow connects current project information with coordinated BIM, CAD and construction documentation for the assigned defense facility package.
Project Information Review

Build the Package Around the Information Approved for the Assigned Scope

The production team should work from the current project information and agreed requirements for each discipline, area and deliverable.

  • Current drawing issue
  • Available discipline models
  • Applicable specifications
  • Survey / existing-condition information
  • Approved project revisions
  • Required output standards
Project Information Sources

Organize Multiple Project Sources Into One Defined Production Basis

A project package may combine current design files, existing-condition information and supporting project documentation. The assigned deliverables should remain tied to the information supplied for production.

DWG

Design Drawings

Use current architectural, structural and building-services drawings for the assigned scope.

BIM

Discipline Models

Use supplied architectural, structural or MEP models as applicable.

SURV

Survey / Scan Information

Reference supplied survey, point-cloud or existing-condition information where required.

SPEC

Project Requirements

Use applicable specifications, BIM requirements and approved project instructions.

Information Status

Keep Production Aligned With the Current Project Issue

Models, drawings and project instructions can change during preconstruction. The assigned production package should clearly reflect the information status used for each issue.

Current Approved Information

Develop the assigned work from the current information approved for production.

Revision-Based Updates

Review updated information and identify affected models, drawings and quantities.

Information Gaps

Identify areas where available information does not support the requested deliverable.

Multidisciplinary Coordination

Common Coordination Checks Across Defense Facility Packages

Once the applicable discipline information is brought together, project teams can review physical conflicts, spatial limitations and interfaces between major building systems.

Ductwork vs Structure
Piping vs Structural Elements
Cable Routes vs Building Elements
Equipment vs Available Space
MEP Services vs Ceiling Zones
Risers vs Floor Openings
Plant Equipment vs Service Access
Proposed Work vs Existing Conditions
Trade Routes vs Shared Technical Zones
Current & Proposed Information

Keep Existing Conditions and Proposed Construction Clearly Organized

Renovation and retrofit projects can combine existing information with multiple proposed disciplines. A structured model or drawing package helps teams distinguish the status of each element during coordination.
