Drawings the factory and the site can trust.

Construction detailing, shop drawings and design-to-manufacture documentation that remove ambiguity before it becomes a production error or a site query.

Three stages, three different deliverables.

Stage 01Shop drawings
Every frame, truss and component drawn as it will be made, with member sizes, positions, fixings and labels.Used by: factory, QA
Stage 02Connection and coordination details
Junctions between systems resolved and drawn once, so trades do not improvise on site.Used by: site, engineers
Stage 03Schedules and revision control
Component schedules tied to the drawings, with every revision logged and superseded sets withdrawn.Used by: procurement, project managers

Why it matters

Coordinated detailing reduces ambiguity, production errors, site queries and rework. When the detailer sits beside the engineer and the estimator, the drawings, quantities and components agree.

Common questions

Can you detail for our existing truss and frame software?

Our focus is timber and hybrid timber systems; other elements are detailed where needed for coordination.
