IV Production

Five checks I use when preparing project information for production

First, key dimensions: overall sizes, clearances, material thicknesses and the points where new work meets the existing space.

Second, materials: descriptions, references and finishes should be clear enough to support procurement and help the workshop understand the intended specification.

Third, assembly context: I flag questions about how pieces may need to be divided, transported and joined so they can be reviewed with the production team.

Fourth, responsibility: every pending decision needs a named person or team. Unassigned details are the easiest ones to overlook.

Finally, consistency: plans, elevations, schedules and written notes should describe one project, not four slightly different versions of it.
