On my last two projects we've been attempting to go "paperless" So all RFI's, ASI's and submittals are done digitally using Newforma. However the contractor is really struggling to get the latest info into the guys/girls in the field. We made a decision that we would allways re-issue the sheets if an RFI was answered that affected a drawing on a sheet. IE, the RFI askes for dimensions that aren't currently on the drawings, we add the drawings, cloud them , tag them with a Delta and the RFI number. Print the sheet to pdf and send with the RFI response. They add it to their Bluebeam document and allways have the latest sheets. Sometimes sketches are issued if a new drawing/detail is needed. This is all very elegant in revit, and in bluebeam, the problem is only the super has an IPAD with the latest and greatest(it syncs with the main file). So my question is how are you all seeing this dealt with.

We had thought that the contractor would still maintain a posted set(but obviously printing full sheets onsite isn't practical). So I had told them they could always zoom in on the area of the sheet revised, print it to 11x17 and post(tape) it to the hard set.

I'm just looking for validation of the digital approach. Or if we need to go back to paper. Another issue is with electronic submittals, We are only stamping the cover sheet(electronically), not all the sheets, this is causing issues where unless the cover sheet is with the final submittal there is no way to tell if the sub is using the approved shop or the one they submitted. I'm planning on recommending we electronically require a "mark" of some sort on all submital sheets ready for "field use" . Ie the contractor takes the approved shops and adds "for field use" on all sheets. Somethng like that. Are there any new "industry standards" for electronic CA processes?

Thanks.
