Coordination Failures

When the Issue Was Closed but Not Resolved

Coordination failures rarely look like failures at the time. A clash is marked resolved, a comment is closed, a drawing is issued. Weeks later the conflict reappears on site because the closure was technical, not shared. This collection gathers case files where the coordination process broke down between disciplines, between teams, or between review and implementation.

Patterns That Repeat

The files in this collection share a pattern. One discipline closes a item against its own model rules, but the dependent disciplines never confirm. Two drawings describe different requirements for the same element, and neither is flagged as controlling. A revision is correct in isolation yet contradicts a parallel change no one linked to it. Each case records which requirement was treated as controlling and which was silently dropped.

Reading These Cases Together

Read alongside the ownership and handoff collections, these files show that most coordination failures are not missing information. They are missing decisions. The archive keeps the unresolved questions visible so teams can compare them to their own open items. Use this collection to audit your current coordination log and to identify closures that still need a shared sign-off before construction.
