Design coordination is a multidisciplinary activity that is focused on the management of technical issues and decision making, providing support to design development. This activity usually implies communication with all the project designers in coordination meetings.The spaces where these meetings occur can be physical or virtual (Liston et al. 2000) and are used to share information, for consultation and for decision-making about project issues. A growing trend among project teams is collaborative project development supported by processes such as Building Information Modeling (BIM). Building information models are information-rich, geometric representations of the components of a building and typically serve for visualization and coordination of projects (GSA 2007), among other uses.
