What it's for
Working to a superseded drawing is a common cause of rework and disputes. The register tracks each drawing, every revision date, the current revision and status, who issued and received it, and which revisions must not be used after a given date. If questions arise later about what you were instructed to build, the register is the evidence.
When you need it
From the first drawing received for the project. Update it every time a drawing is issued or revised, and check it before each work package starts.
Who signs it
It is not signed. It is kept by the named person responsible for document control, recorded at the top of the register.
What's inside
- Company, project and who keeps the register
- A landscape register with drawing number, title, original issue and revision dates, current revision, status, issued by, received by, and superseded revisions
- Revision status codes: preliminary, for construction and as built
- A note on using the status codes in the UK National Annex to BS EN ISO 19650 where the project uses them
- A change log
FAQ
- What should happen to superseded drawings?
- Withdraw them from site, or mark them clearly as superseded, so nobody builds from them by mistake.
- Can I use the project’s own status codes?
- Yes. If the project uses the status codes in the UK National Annex to BS EN ISO 19650, record those instead and note the convention in the register.
- How does it link to the other documents?
- The pre-start work package checklist asks you to confirm drawings are at the current revision against this register.
- What is [TO CONFIRM]?
- Details only you know, such as names, references and dates. We never guess these. They appear as highlighted [TO CONFIRM] placeholders, and the register opens with a list of every one. The entry rows are always left blank: we never invent entries, so you record them as the work goes on.
- Can I edit the document?
- Yes. Both options are Word documents you can edit freely.
- Do I still need to review it?
- Yes. A competent person must check every document against the actual site and works before it is used. ClarusDocs gives you a complete first draft, not a substitute for that check.
