Documentation Standards Across Partners
Two sets of templates create one set of problems.
Standardise early
| Item | Agreement |
|---|---|
| File naming | One convention with project, system and revision |
| Drawing templates | Shared title block and revision rules |
| Language | Which language governs, and whether translations are informational |
| Software | Same CAD and document versions |
| Transmittals | One record of what was issued to whom |
Why it pays
- Reviews get faster when everything looks the same.
- Handover to the client is simpler with one document structure.
- Disputes are easier to resolve with one revision trail.
Agree the standard at kick-off; retrofitting it later costs far more.
