1. Sub-Services

We offer the following trade coordination and interface management solutions:

Design & Scope Interface Review:
We analyze the overlap between design packages and scopes of work to identify potential conflicts early — ensuring nothing “falls through the cracks” between consultants or contractors.

Technical Coordination Meetings:
We organize and moderate coordination meetings between trades, using factual, issue-based agendas that drive real progress and accountability.

Clash Detection & Resolution:
Through review of technical drawings, 3D models, and on-site progress, we identify and resolve physical or functional clashes between systems, materials, or assemblies before they affect construction.

Responsibility Matrix & Deliverable Tracking:
We establish and maintain a clear matrix outlining each party’s scope, deliverables, and interface points, ensuring transparency and preventing disputes later in the project.

Change Coordination:
When design or scope changes arise, we manage the cross-trade impact assessment, coordination, and approval workflow to maintain project consistency and control.

Close-Out Interface Management:
At project handover, we ensure that all interfaces — structural, MEP, and architectural — are properly tested, commissioned, and documented for smooth final delivery.
