Keep your 20-week commitments safe from design changes you didn't see coming
Live register of what's locked, what's at risk, what's about to break.
The problem
One column-spacing change, six weeks of delay.
Design finalises structural steel in week 6. Your supplier locks a 16-week lead time — delivery week 22. In week 13, someone changes the column spacing to fit a duct that wasn't coordinated earlier. The change breaks the supplier's manufacturing sequence. Delivery slips to week 28. Your concrete pour is booked for week 23. You're six weeks late, and the change happened without anyone flagging the lead-time implication.
This happens because no one is holding a register of what's locked, what changes mean, and which design decisions are already locked into supplier timelines.
What you get
A live register of every long-lead item.
- Item name and critical-path position
- Supplier name and lead time
- Design lock status — design final, RFI pending, or coordination open
- Current delivery commitment
- Design change risks — what changes would break this commitment
- Last review date and next review date
When a design change comes in, we immediately flag which item it affects, what the supplier's lead time is, when design locked, and the resulting delivery risk. You know instantly whether a design decision buys time or burns time.
How it works
One register, reviewed every week.
- 01
Build the register
Week 1: you walk us through your 15–20 critical long-lead items — supplier, item name, lead time, design lock date, critical path position. We build a live register, shared and updated weekly.
- 02
Review every Friday
We check your latest design updates, RFI logs, and procurement notices, and update the register with new lock dates, lead-time changes, and risk scores for each item.
- 03
Flag mid-week, immediately
When a design change comes in mid-week that affects a locked item, we flag it the same day — not at the next scheduled review.
In practice
What this looks like when it works.
Illustrative examples based on common patterns we're validating — not a specific, named client engagement.
On a $180M retail-and-office project, a facade system is locked in week 10 with an 18-week supply-and-install lead time. In week 16, a tenant layout change ripples into facade panel sequencing. Because the register flags the conflict the day the change is filed, the project team delays the change by three weeks — before facade manufacturing starts — instead of after. No supplier delay, no critical-path impact.
On another project, a mechanical plant is due in week 24 with a 20-week lead time locked from week 4. In week 18, the client asks to add a chiller. The register immediately shows the trade-off: delay the plant delivery and accept a slip, or pay a premium to expedite the chiller. With the choice visible early, the client picks the cheaper, faster option — instead of discovering the conflict after the plant was already in production.
Who this is for
Built for the people who own design and delivery.
Today and tomorrow
Manual discipline today. Connected systems tomorrow.
Today
We maintain the register manually, review design updates every week, and flag changes as they come in.
Tomorrow
The platform connects to your design log and procurement system, auto-flags when a design change impacts a locked item, and pulls supplier lead-time data directly.
