Project Coordination and Related Trades

Delays often occur when cable routes, power, door hardware, mounting surfaces, internet services or access dates are not ready in the required sequence. Late design changes and unclear responsibility can also leave one contractor waiting for another. Many technology projects cross trade boundaries.

Clear coordination is valuable on office moves, refurbishments, multi-trade security projects, construction sites and live businesses where downtime must be controlled.

Technology systems frequently depend on work outside the technology contractor’s scope, such as power, door hardware, mounting, cabinetry, building access or an internet service. Those dependencies make coordination essential even when each trade has a separate contract. A coordination plan should identify who supplies each item, who provides access, which work must happen first, how outages will be managed and who signs off the completed scope. Pacific c…
