I think the thread title says it all, "Do you treat document control as an administrative problem?"
I don't want to get myself started, but, it seems to clear to me that #1. documents have to have a central control, someone to set standards and permissions and basically keep things organized #2. the person(s) in charge of the organization should have some understanding of the industry they are supporting.
I really feel like the data management side of construction is marginalized a bit too much.
So, the question is...
Who handles your data management?
A dedicated document manager with industry knowledge?
Your CAD/BIM Manager?
Your CAD/BIM tech / design staff?
Your office coordinator?
Your secretary?
No one? ~shudders delicately~
