Improving Efficiency & Quality in Design Documentation
Design and construction teams are under growing pressure to deliver high-quality drawings faster, with more coordination across distributed teams. A major obstacle to productivity and quality is how firms create, manage, and reuse design content such as details, families, legends, schedules, and associated project components.
This session explores the inefficiencies caused by fragmented content environments: Outdated models, disorganized files, and inconsistent standards, and how these cause increased risk, rework, and delays. Attendees will learn how emerging tools can strengthen documentation workflows, improve access to vetted details, reduce errors, and help teams start from stronger, more reliable foundations.
The program draws from industry research and practitioner examples to highlight practical, repeatable practices that improve documentation quality, reduce construction-phase issues, and support safer, more consistent project outcomes aligned with HSW objectives
