Abstract:

This article presents an analysis of contemporary approaches to multidisciplinary coordination of engineering systems in high-rise construction projects. The study is conducted in the form of a systematic review and analytical synthesis of publications devoted to Building Information Modeling, interface management, digital design coordination, commissioning processes, and engineering system integration. Particular attention is given to the relationship between spatial coordination of engineering networks, distribution of responsibilities, integrated testing procedures, and operational verification of engineering systems. The paper examines the limitations of the traditional approach to engineering system coordination, which is primarily based on clash detection. It is demonstrated that a significant proportion of coordination-related risks arise from discontinuities between engineering interfaces, inconsistencies in decisions among project participants, and commissioning-stage errors, including disruptions in the cause-and-effect logic of engineering system operation and interaction failures between ventilation, building management, and fire alarm systems. It is substantiated that effective coordination requires continuous synchronization of engineering decisions throughout the entire building lifecycle. Within the framework of the study, an original integrated model of multidisciplinary coordination for engineering systems in high-rise buildings is proposed, combining design coordination, digital model integration, interface management, construction coordination, commissioning verification, and operational synchronization of engineering information. The article may be useful for researchers in construction project management, MEP engineers, commissioning specialists, and construction project managers.
