I have a varying 30-80 plate project file. Each week I have to update, re-save and publish 11 different sets. Step 1 check all new&altered plates and note to +/- them to whatever sets. Step 2 take previous week's set, update it compared to list, save, publish. If they are lose pages label each by sheet per selected setting options. If multiple pages, name the packets to match the name of the saved set. Do this again 10 times. If any sheets have special render views, this process takes 1-2 hr and requires my attention. I can't imagine having to deal with this for an entire building, it would be a full time job.
Wish: A saved set could be managed like a viewport in Organization. Under Visibilities radio button (with better name) turn on or off the Sheet Layers you want showing, drag to change order. Under Details radio button chose format, PDF or otherwise, set the same publish settings. If they are lose pages label each by sheet, per selected setting options, PDF into a dated folder (format selectable I use YYMMDD but others don't). If multiple pages, name the packets to match the name of the saved set with auto-date-add option. Then when I publish, allow me to queue several Sets up and walk away. A more detailed progress box, "publishing page # of total # of this set, this many sets and this many pages left to go" would be a huge help. At the end, an optional report "Each set took this length of time, this page# from this set took longer than the others long (so you know if there is one you want to fix).
