A single shared setting-out drawing stopped a foundation misalignment before it happened

What workedBase & Ground Floor

What happened

The groundworker and the panel manufacturer were each working from their own version of the setting-out drawing, issued a fortnight apart, on a site where the foundation tolerances were tighter than a traditional build.

Impact

None. A design coordination check ahead of the pour caught the discrepancy.

How it was resolved

The two setting-out drawings were compared before the pour. A single, version-controlled setting-out drawing was reissued to both parties, superseding the two originals.

The lesson

On an MMC project, the groundworker and the system manufacturer must work from the same setting-out drawing, with one version-controlled owner, not two equivalent drawings issued separately at different points in the programme.
