Best Practices

Recommendations based on the experience of using Modunex on real projects. Each module has its own practices to maximize team efficiency and data quality.

For: All users · Project Administrators

Drawings

• Define a clear naming convention for drawing numbers and stick to it.
• Always upload a new revision instead of replacing a file, so history and superseded drawings are preserved.
• Distribute drawing sets via packages rather than individual files.

BIM Models

• Structure federations by discipline (architecture, structure, MEP) for clear coordination.
• Agree on an update frequency so the federated model stays current.
• Use revision comparison to detect changes between model versions.

Submittals

• Organize submittals by trade and use packages for related items.
• Configure workflows that match the contract, and set realistic review deadlines.

RFIs

• Open an RFI for formal clarifications, not for informal questions better handled by email.
• Write a clear, self-contained question and set a realistic due date.

Correspondence

• Use correspondence for official communications that must leave a documented trail.
• Classify and archive consistently so records are easy to retrieve.

Punch Items

• Register defects on site with photo and location.
• Assign priorities consistently and define clear closure criteria with a final approver.

Permissions

• Apply the principle of least privilege: grant the minimum access each profile needs.
• Use permission groups instead of per-user configuration and review access periodically.
