Confirm the current set
Do not issue from an uncertain register. Confirm current revisions and superseded status first.

How to Issue Construction Drawings with an Audit Trail
An issue process should make it clear what was issued, when it was issued, who received it and what project records supported it.
Direct answer
Issue construction drawings with an audit trail by confirming the current revision set, recording recipients, linking issue sheets, preserving dates and keeping source decisions or RFIs visible.
Create controlled issue records
Use issue sheets and pack records that capture drawings, recipients, issue date and purpose.
Keep decisions visible
RFIs and design decisions that changed the issue should remain attached to the project record.
FAQs
Common questions
Is Coorda generic project management software?
No. Coorda is drawing-led coordination software. It focuses on registers, revisions, RFIs, decisions, issue sheets, standards and project knowledge rather than generic task boards alone.
Can Coorda replace spreadsheets?
Coorda can replace disconnected drawing registers, RFI trackers and issue sheet spreadsheets where teams need live revision control, source links and an audit trail.
Who is Coorda for?
Coorda is for construction teams issuing drawings, including consultants, contractors, design managers and project managers who need traceable project information.
Does Coorda use AI?
Yes. Coorda Assist and AI-assisted checks help engineers understand project information, but outputs remain reviewable and do not replace professional engineering judgement.
