A structure people can maintain
We agree minimum metadata, naming and owners. We avoid folder trees so deep that teams end up emailing copies instead.
The right information, at the right revision, for the right person.
Storing files is only one part. They also need naming, approval ownership, revision distribution and evidence of what was current when a decision was made.
THE CONTEXT
Documents with different lifecycles
01
Drawings and models with revisions
02
Approved contracts, quotations and orders
03
Minutes, photographs and issues
04
Supplier and subcontractor documents
05
Final manual, as-built and project close-out
Review, approval and distribution
Each status has a meaning and an action. When a revision is published, affected people are identified, the previous one is removed from current views and history is retained.
Documents connected to the process
An issue links drawing, photo, owner and response. A delivery note links order and project. The document stops being an isolated attachment and begins to explain a transaction.
