Hydraulic design works best when the building type, documentation stage, architectural constraints and services interfaces are understood early.
Early coordination items
- Fixture counts and building use
- Water and sanitary drainage pathways
- Roof drainage and stormwater interfaces
- Trade waste or gas service needs
- Plant areas, access and maintainability
Documentation stages
- DA or early feasibility inputs
- Detailed design and coordination
- IFC documentation
- RFI responses during construction
- As-constructed or closeout support where scoped
Interfaces to manage
- Architecture and ceiling/setout constraints
- Structural penetrations and slab zones
- Civil stormwater and authority requirements
- Fire services and gas coordination where relevant
- Certifier and builder information requests
