Design coordination accountability

[querybruh9]

On a complex building project, multiple disciplines contribute to early design decisions with long term impact. I am trying to establish clearer accountability during coordination to avoid unresolved conflicts later. What technical coordination framework helps maintain responsibility without slowing design progress?

On a complex project, I found that accountability improves when coordination is tied to clearly defined technical ownership rather than general meetings. I established a framework where each discipline was responsible for specific interfaces and assumptions, and those responsibilities were reviewed at set milestones. Applying a coordination mindset similar to https://www.fields-builds.com/blog/cutting-costs-avoiding-delays-constructability-reviews helped me document decisions related to tolerances, penetrations, and sequencing so they were not left ambiguous. This approach maintained momentum because issues were resolved within a clear structure, preventing conflicts from being deferred without slowing overall design progress.
