Service Coordination

Full project coordination, undertaken correctly, is an essential part of any cost-effective contract. The co-ordination process should begin prior to tender stage with consulting engineers and architects, but this is often ignored or given low priority due to financial and time constraints.

Coordination to avoid clashes with individual services and the building structure carried out before installation work begins saves both time and money on any project however often individual trades fail to recognise the importance of producing workshop drawings. This being the case, Combined services drawings ensure that all coordination issues are resolved prior to installation. This is an ideal service for main contractors and builders.

Combined Services Drawings

The production of combined services drawings (plans and sections) locates each service in two dimensions and helps identify any clashes. Once services are fully coordinated all builderswork information can be added (slab and wall penetrations etc) and identified individually. These drawings are produced with each service and associated notation on separate, easily identifiable layers making it a simple task to peel off individual services to form the basis of workshop installation drawings.
