Hi Timothy,
As far as how to make sure the drawings used in the field are the most up to date: I have simply gone out to the site and met with the contractor face to face and went through the job site set together, earmarking pages that are not accurate and adding the revised (stamped, as appropriate) pages to the set. There is a procedure to follow using G701 Change Order, if the applies.
I'm not sure what IPD (Integrated Project Delivery forms) are available-- it seems they would address the situation you raise of subs pricing off of preliminary drawings.
Does your firm use Revit? If so, do you share the Revit model with the GC?
I look forward to learning from others' responses.

Subject: Managing and distributing construction drawing updates
I am an architect working for a Design/Build General Contractor. We are faced with the age-old dilemma of distributing construction documents to subcontractors and then later redistributing pages to reflect changes and updates...but subs continue using old drawings, because their notes are there.
As a Design-Builder we add the twist that subs often begin pricing with preliminary drawings.
How do you make sure the drawings used in the field are the most up to date version?
