Project & drawing review
Organise the current drawings, references and known dimensions. Identify unclear information, drawing revisions and the questions that need to be carried into the next stage.
Project consultationGood projects start
Good projects start
with clear questions.
Project consultation, CAD support and digital planning for masonry, metalwork and construction details. Bring your drawings, the starting dimensions and the question you need to resolve.
The right starting point may be a design question, a set of drawings or a component that needs a clearer brief. Our consultation service brings those details into one practical conversation.
We look at the application, the information already available and the decisions that remain open. That helps define the drawing support, material discussion or planning work needed for the next stage.
Use our Project Studio before the consultation to explore simple geometry and quantities. Bring the results with the project context, rather than treating an isolated number as the whole answer.
Consultation areasSupport for the
Support for the
decisions in the detail.
The consultation is shaped around your project, the information you have and the deliverables you need.
CAD concept preparation
Discuss the geometry, part layout and dimensional information needed to communicate a component. Agree the scope of concept sketches or drawing preparation against the brief.
Material & quantity planning
Work through material assumptions, estimated mass, repeated lengths and the quantities behind a schedule. Keep the material grade and finish connected to the application.
Design coordination
Consider the component in relation to adjoining construction, interfaces and the wider project information. Identify where measurements or specialist design decisions remain to be confirmed.
CAD & drawing supportGive the concept
Give the concept
a clear geometry.
A drawing is a way to communicate the intended detail. Its value comes from the dimensions, references and assumptions it makes clear.
Bring the latest drawing revision, a measured sketch or the dimensions that describe the component. Make the application, material and intended finish part of the same brief.
We can discuss the CAD preparation and drawing coordination your project needs. Start with the Studio’s plate sketch tool to explore a simple outline and hole layout, then use the consultation to agree the scope of any further work.

Calculations & project metricsMake the assumptions
Make the assumptions
part of the answer.
Material weight, quantities and cutting utilisation can help explain a brief when the inputs are understood.
The Studio shows the dimensions and calculation basis alongside the result. Use it to prepare initial material estimates and repeated cutting quantities, or to check that dimensional units are consistent.
Where the project requires performance calculations, a designed fixing or structural verification, define that requirement in the brief so the appropriate specialist design scope can be established.

the first discussion useful.
The project & application
Describe what you are building, where the detail sits and the outcome you need to achieve. Include the project reference and the area you want to discuss.
Current drawings & dimensions
Share the latest revision, measured sketches and the dimensions you know. Mark any indicative information and explain what still requires a survey or confirmation.
Materials & quantities
Include the specified grade, thickness, finish and number of components or lengths. If these are undecided, describe the options or questions to be reviewed.
Programme & deliverables
Tell us your target date and the result you need from the consultation: a clearer brief, CAD support, a material schedule or an agreed next step.
Define the deliverablesAgree what you
Agree what you
will receive.
The brief sets the purpose of the consultation. The agreed scope sets the outputs, fees and programme.
A clearer project brief
A focused scope can include a review of the starting information, the questions to resolve and a record of the next steps or dimensions still to be confirmed.
Drawing support
Where agreed, define the concept sketches, dimensional drawings or CAD preparation required. Confirm the drawing references, revisions and intended file formats.
Useful schedules
Where agreed, organise material quantities, calculation assumptions and planning metrics into a schedule that supports the project discussion.

A clear brief.
An agreed scope.
We confirm the work required before a consultation or drawing service proceeds.
Send the starting point.
Use the enquiry form to introduce the project, the question and the information you already have. Email drawings or supporting files with their revision references.
Define the consultation.
Agree the topics to review, the drawings or data required, and the intended deliverables. Fees and programme are confirmed for that scope.
Carry the work forward.
Use the agreed outputs to progress the project brief, drawing coordination or material discussion. Record any assumptions and information that still needs confirmation.
