Design decision tracking

Design decision tracking software for coordination-heavy building services projects

Coorda helps teams record what was decided, what options were considered, what evidence sat behind the decision, and how that decision affects the live project workflow.

Why decisions are hard to track

  • Important design decisions are often buried in meetings, emails, or comment threads.
  • Teams can lose the link between a decision and the original coordination issue.
  • Issue-stage outputs rarely show the rationale behind the chosen route.

What Coorda improves

  • Decisions can be logged alongside comments, RFIs, tasks, and drawing review outputs.
  • The project record keeps the reason, route chosen, and impact visible later.
  • Decision tracking becomes part of delivery, not a separate admin exercise.

How it fits the workflow

Coorda is strongest when a project moves from concern to action without losing the reasoning in the middle. Design decisions sit naturally between review, RFIs, task ownership, and issue outputs.

Best suited to

Design managers, consultants, contractors, and project teams that need clearer rationale, stronger audit trails, and more reliable coordination records.

Where it fits best

Coordination-heavy projects where decisions need to stay linked to the original drawing concern and resulting action.
Building services teams that want revision control, RFIs, and decisions to form one usable project record.
Construction projects where issue-stage deliverables need the reasoning behind the chosen route, not just the final output.

Coorda works best when drawing registers, checks, RFIs, issue sheets, design decisions, and revision control stay connected instead of being rebuilt across spreadsheets, emails, and file folders.
