Fabrication Building Design

In the previous section, our specialized engineers have settled the score on why great fabrication sheets are a must for every building project. On the opposite side of the spectrum, we also show you the learning curve and the possibilities when inaccuracy takes over the fabrication sheets:

• Forced start date of construction sans fabrication drawings

As engineers thoroughly checking for the efficiency and errors of your fabrication sheets, we all know that the strict quality assurance in itself can be very time-consuming. If the review process coincides with the start date of construction and the fabrication drawings were still not reviewed by quality analysts and approved by consultants, then construction managers have no choice but to work with the resources they have on-site. In effect, this could lead to material wastage should the consultants issue change orders, long-lead items moved down the project timeline, and building components which are not fabricated on time.

• Inaccurate material quantities

Any missing parts on the fabrication sheets can lead to building components which are built incomplete, or not at all. When fabrication sheets show lack even one detail such as the dimensional tolerance needed, this can create a ripple effect for the fabrication line. Imagine the cause of delays when a single detail is missing: quantity take-offs are incorrect, rush purchase orders, inventory management and material supply for fabrication is insufficient, and lastly, building components are not fabricated just in time for the systems installation in your building facility.

Quality Control on Fabrication Sheets from Design to Manufacturing

All building components have a zero starting point, and design is the catalyst for every phase in the project life cycle to begin with. This means that there’s a direct proportional relationship between design to manufacturing. For demanding large-scale and mixed-use complex projects, the scheduled turnover can put a pressure on all project stakeholders. And as such, all strategies implemented are designed for efficiency to meet the project timeline.

Case in point, however, there’s a drawback with “efficiency”. By definition, this combines fast and quality results. But in any case that your building project settles with inferior quality standards only to meet the project schedule, then this effectively negates the whole meaning of efficiency. Circumvention may take place – creating shortcuts which can be otherwise be disastrous for your building project.

This is why, from design down to manufacturing, quality control is a must. From space allocation, to construction documents, and finally to fabrication sheets, quality control should be on your top priority every step of the way. For building projects where design considerations and factors sprout from anywhere, it pays to be proactive than to be reckless only just for a few money savings.

And by the time your fabrication sheets hit the production line, you can rest easy knowing that your building components can be built in no time at all, since your drawings were subjected to the strictest quality control that can be implemented by our engineering consultants and quality analysts. At Nearby Engineers New York Engineers , we combine fast with quality results.

Both fabrication sheets and bill of materials are interrelated together. This means that any update on your fabrication sheets, can mean changes for your bill of materials.

Such is the case between an engineering bill of materials (EBOM) and manufacturing bill of materials (MBOM). MBOM is largely dependent on EBOM for its product design, and any design changes can directly affect all the parts list needed for MBOM. Same goes for fabrication sheets.

When fabrication sheets are not yet approved, and bill of materials is already in order for procurement, there could be possible complications down the line with change orders.

As MEP engineers who have worked extensively on all kinds of building projects from design to manufacturing, here are three items that you should key in:

• Process needs to be streamlined
• Information flow should be effectively managed for handover
• Change management should be in place to keep track of all the design and cost variances

Achieve Maximum Value on Fabrication Sheets with NY Engineers

Realize all the maximum returns on investment that you can recoup when you work with Nearby Engineers New York Engineers for your fabrication sheets. On top of being an expert engineering design partner, you can bank on our two-way functionality to implement quality control on your drawings: impose strict quality control on the approval of your fabrication sheets when working from the consultant’s end, or create precise drawings from being a streamlined designer and fabricator all at once.
