This paper proposes the way of building design co-ordination using a Virtual Reality (VR) system. A preliminary design of building is created by a co-ordinator using the VR system and presented to other designers through computer network systems. The design is made so that some components and variables of the design may be altered by the designers. The possible design alterations may involve engineering aspects such as resizing and repositioning the components; or managerial aspects such as changing the qualities and the prices of the components. The changing can be assumed as the design alteration proposal from the designers to the co-ordinator. The decision is then made by the co-ordinator. All alterations are noted in recording files. Using these files and a report generator program, the report of the design process can be then generated.
