A multidisciplinary construction project had 3,000+ drawings managed by a document controller using a spreadsheet register. Engineers frequently worked from superseded revisions because notification of new issues was inconsistent. On two occasions, concrete works were built to outdated foundation drawings, resulting in costly remedial work and schedule delays.
PMG Drawing Register provided centralised drawing management with automatic revision control, distribution tracking, and superseded drawing flagging. When a new revision was issued, all previous holders were automatically notified. The register showed the current status of every drawing by discipline, ensuring engineers always accessed the latest approved revision.
Construction errors due to superseded drawings dropped to zero after implementation. Drawing distribution time decreased by 75% with automated notifications. The document controller saved 20 hours per week on manual register maintenance. The project team reported significantly improved coordination between structural, architectural, and MEP disciplines.
