Industry coordination at the detailed design stage – the key to success

Go back

 

Modern construction projects, especially in the industrial sector, require efficient, thoughtful and multi-discipline cooperation. The more complex the project, the greater the risk of errors, collisions and mismatched solutions. Therefore, industry coordination at the detailed design stage becomes one of the most important elements of the entire design process. At BAUREN, we prioritize it – and we know that it is one of the key factors in the success of an investment.

What is industry coordination?

Branch coordination is the process of combining and aligning all branch projects – architectural, structural, sanitary, electrical, HVAC, low-current, technological and others – into a single, coherent execution documentation. The goal is to eliminate clashes, ensure compatibility between systems and adapt solutions to the technical and functional conditions of the facility.

Why is this so important at the detailed design stage?

The detailed design is not just a formality – it is the documentation according to which the real building is constructed. Even a minor inconsistency between trades can result in:

  • collisions of installations with structural elements,
  • execution errors on the construction site,
  • costly rework,
  • schedule delays,
  • the risk of a refusal decision by construction supervision.

That’s why at BAUREN we carry out industry coordination at every stage of the work, but we pay special attention to the detailed design – because it is from it that contractors build.

How do we do it at BAUREN?

With an extensive project team working under one roof, we have full control over the coordination process. Here are some key elements of our approach:

  • A project team of in-house specialists

We work with permanent teams of architects, builders and trade designers, which allows for direct communication and quick agreement on solutions.

  • Digital models and design in a BIM environment

Thanks to 3D modeling and BIM tools, we can catch clashes early, optimize the course of installations and test different design options. This is a tremendous support for the investor and the contractor.

  • Regular coordination meetings

At each stage of project development, we hold industry team meetings to discuss not only current issues, but also to anticipate potential technical or functional conflicts.

  • Executive approach

We work with general contractors, so we know how to design documentation with construction in mind. We make it easy for the execution teams by providing documentation that is unambiguous, consistent and understandable.

Benefits for the investor

Well-conducted industry coordination means:

  • fewer changes on site,
  • shorter execution time,
  • lower risk of errors and complaints,
  • better preparation for the executive tender,
  • greater control over investment costs.

In short: it’s an investment that pays for itself – and ensures that the entire construction process runs smoothly.

BAUREN - we design comprehensively, coordinate effectively

We are a design office that has been working with industrial investors, developers and general contractors for years. With experienced engineers in all trades, in-house coordinators and a realistic approach to design, we deliver documentation that can be implemented on site – without surprises.

If you’re looking for a partner who understands the importance of coordination and can master the complex design process – contact us. Together, we’ll design it right.

BAUREN at Coffee & Learn meeting with IDEA StatiCa – Katowice

On March 27, 2025 in Katowice, Poland, our BAUREN design office had the pleasure of participating in an event organized by IDEA StatiCa as part of the Coffee & Learn series – meetings dedicated to engineers of the construction industry. The main purpose of the event was to present modern FEA computational tools for the […]
