01 / GENERAL CONTRACTORS

Coordinate steel questions with their source.

Start a coordination conversation with a specific drawing reference, the related note, and the question that needs an answer. Keep the review grounded in the issued information.

  • Which sheet and revision are the teams reviewing?
  • Which source documents describe the same condition?
  • Who owns the next clarification or approval?

02 / FABRICATORS & DETAILERS

Clarify the details before fabrication.

Bring connection notes, dimensions, and member references into the same discussion. Check the drawing context and raise an unresolved difference for the responsible team.

  • Does the note apply to this connection?
  • Do the dimensions use the same endpoints and units?
  • Does the member mark match its schedule entry?
CONNECTION / S-501
DETAIL 34 bolts
GENERAL NOTE 36 bolts

03 / STRUCTURAL ENGINEERS

Review questions in their drawing context.

See which source references prompted a question and inspect the underlying sheets before deciding what the difference means. Engineering responsibility remains with your qualified team.

  • Are the referenced details and revisions available?
  • What is directly shown, and what still needs context?
  • What decision should be recorded for the team?

04 / OWNERS & DEVELOPERS

Topics to explore with your project team.

Every project has its own review scope, delivery requirements, and approval path. Use a walkthrough to discuss how drawing questions move between the people responsible for the work.

  • Which parties review and approve the steel package?
  • What records should stay with a resolved question?
  • What project information is appropriate to share?
