I am looking to determine a best-practice structure for projects with multiple project files. I currently have a single-site, multi-phase, multi-building, multi-unit within buildings project. I am trying to determine the best method to stay organized. Below is a diagram outlining my thoughts on how to structure it. I am open to suggestions and improvements. It is complicated project, so I would like to establish a workflow for my team. This diagram doesn’t account for consultants (that is a whole other level of complexity).
Do you treat each building as its own project and mash them together at the end in PDF form? Do you issue 3-4 different sets of documents that reference the other document sets, that as a whole constitute the Construction Documents?
Also looking for suggestions on managing details that are the same between different project files (buildings and units). We have worked with a shared details file in the past. It works, but is complex.
My brain hurts. 🤕
*edited to revise diagram and show Unit PDFs
