A module and its supporting site work must be planned together even if different suppliers deliver them. The interface deserves a clear exchange of drawings, responsibilities and readiness information. A generic statement that a unit can sit on a foundation does not establish a site-specific design.
Exchange the right information
Ask what module dimensions, loads and connection information the responsible design team needs. Identify the drawing revisions that control the interface. Leave engineering decisions with qualified professionals using the actual unit and site, rather than adapting a detail from an unrelated example.
Name the coordination owner
Confirm who checks that the foundation and module information align before either is finalized. Record changes and how they reach the other parties. A late adjustment can affect more than one scope, so a single shared change record is useful.
Agree the acceptance point
Ask how the supporting work is checked before the placement team arrives and which tolerances or conditions the project documents require. Retain the acceptance record with the handover file. This article is about coordination, not a foundation detail or substitute for professional design.
Bring these four points to the conversation
- Module information
- Site design
- Revision control
- Acceptance record
Turn the discussion into a written record
Keep a short record of module information, site design, revision control and acceptance record. Separate confirmed information from assumptions and list the questions that still need the responsible company or design professional. Send the current version with your drawings or photographs so later decisions can be traced back to the same brief, rather than comparing conversations based on different information.
