Set references before production starts
Discuss drawings, specifications, work boundaries, and approvals first. Coordinate architecture and utilities with structural details. Revision records help teams use current documents. Communicate unresolved decisions before processing materials so impacts on scope, procurement, and production schedules can be reviewed.
Connect fabrication with delivery
Fabricate components using approved documents and agreed inspections. Identification and delivery lists support receiving. Schedule departures around installation and storage space. Discuss access limits before production details are finalized so fabrication decisions reflect how components reach the site and are assembled.
Confirm the site is ready for construction
Before erection, confirm supports, access, work areas, and equipment with the relevant teams. Follow reviewed methods, including temporary stability requirements. Inspect final connections and coating repairs according to scope. Final records and outstanding-work lists support handover to the owner and subsequent teams.
