A Coordination Drawing (or Composite Drawing) is the graphically illustrate and dimension for manufacturers’ recommended disciplinaries interfaces and maintenance clearances that shows the work with horizontal and vertical dimensions required to avoid interference with structural, framing of mechanical, electrical, and piping, as well as fire protection, elevators, and floor and wall penetrations.
Reference Definition by Mep-precision-detailers.com: Coordination in construction once referred to simply avoiding physical conflicts in the layout of equipment in spaces and the routing of duct, piping, and raceway systems through buildings. The risk of interference problems is highest on building projects that have intense mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) requirements. Production risks are compounded, as schedules become more intense. Eliminating coordination problems can be characterized as a prerequisite to the start of construction work on intense projects with dense MEP system requirements.
