Overview
When transatlantic logistics meets architectural complexity
This mass timber pavilion complex demanded coordination across Germany fabrication, US warehouse staging and installation for nine material types enclosing cascading volumes carved into a sloped site. Beyond production, warehousing, and jobsite logistics, the project required tracking quality issues through warranty. See how extended workflow stages and defect documentation kept both construction and post-handover management on track.
Challenge
Germany ships, US warehouses and installs, where's our stuff?
Germany-to-US logistics added warehouse staging checkpoint that standard workflows miss—teams risked losing visibility of which components were fabricated, in transit, warehoused, or ready for site delivery. Extended holding at any stage could trigger storage costs, component damage, or site delays from missing materials.
Twenty nine pavilions, nine component types, three project managers
Cascading timber pavilions with complex interfacing required precise installation sequences—brackets before panels, mullions before glass, fascia before flashing. Three project managers coordinating production, logistics, and site work across different materials risked installation sequence errors requiring expensive disassembly across the sloped site geometry.
Quality after install needs the same tracking as delivery
Different material types required different resolution approaches with distinct documentation trails. Traditional punchlist methods would lose the visual connection between each issue, related asset, its exact location, and resolution status as warranty periods extended.
Solution
Eight stages including warehouse, nothing disappears in transit
Eight workflow stages including a warehousing checkpoint between ocean freight and site delivery that typical workflows miss. Three project managers could see exactly where every component sat along the transatlantic pipeline.
Filter by bracket, door, glass, panel, or whatever you're tracking
Filtering by component types across all workflow stages, enabled site teams to verify installation sequence prerequisites across the cascading pavilion volumes, without typical extensive coordination across trades or teams.
Visual quality mapping to building elements
Each quality issue linked directly to building elements with material type categorization, enabling teams to maintain visual connection to exact locations in the model throughout warranty period with clear accountability.
Results
Transatlantic coordination delivered across complex architecture
Every stage visible, every element checked in along the transatlantic supply chain journey. Eliminated coordination gaps between fabrication, shipping, warehousing, and installation that typically create delays on international projects with multiple interdependent material types.
Brackets before panels, mullions before glass, sequence held
Component-type visibility prevented installation sequence errors throughout the cascading volumes and sloped site, avoiding rework from incorrect installation order that would require disassembly and schedule compression across the complex geometry.
Every defect pinned to the exact asset through warranty
Issue documentation linked to building elements with material type filtering enabled targeted resolution processes, maintaining visual connection between issues and their exact locations with transparent audit trail supporting ongoing warranty management.
Summary
Eight stages to Baltimore, each asset status and quality tagged
Extended workflow visibility through warehouse staging kept transatlantic logistics on track across cascading timber pavilions, while visual quality mapping enabled material-specific tracking from construction through warranty management. Three project managers stayed synchronized across production, logistics, and site. When your supply chain crosses oceans and architectural complexity demands precision through building lifecycle, comprehensive progress visibility matters.
