Create a Coordination Issue

The Coordination Issues tool centralizes issue tracking and helps to automate data entry so your team can stay focused on problem-solving. Identifying and recording model issues early is critical for saving time and budget. By resolving these conflicts upfront, you significantly reduce the volume of RFIs and Change Events required later in the project.
