Resources / Process
The project gets calmer when the team knows who is deciding what, which document is current, and how a field question becomes a resolved answer.
A useful starting point
01
The owner, architect, interior designer, engineers, expeditor, contractor, managing agent, and board may each hold different responsibilities. Write down who owns design, filings, selections, procurement, field decisions, approvals, and closeout. The DOB authority keeps the expeditor’s filing role distinct from design and construction.
Read who files what ↗02
A contractor can identify existing-condition questions, sequencing conflicts, access limitations, lead-time concerns, and details that need clarification before they reach the site.
03
Drawings, specifications, finish schedules, submittals, and field decisions should describe the same project. A clear revision path prevents the site from building from yesterday’s answer.
04
Coordination is not substitution. Licensed architects and engineers remain responsible for the professional services they provide; the construction partner helps make the work executable and visible in the field.

A property address and a rough scope are enough to begin. The first conversation is about understanding the conditions, not forcing a premature answer.
