| Deliverable | What it covers |
|---|---|
| Panel layout plans and elevations | Every panel located on plan with its mark, joints and setout, plus elevations showing openings, recesses and finishes. |
| Panel shop drawings | One sheet per panel with dimensions, reinforcement, cast-in items and a bill of materials, ready for the casting bed. |
| Reinforcement and embed coordination | Bars, mesh, ferrules, plates and conduits checked against each other so nothing clashes in the mould. |
| Lifting and bracing insert layouts | Insert positions and edge distances set out to your lifting system and the engineer's lifting design. |
| Connection details | Panel to panel, panel to slab and panel to footing connections, including dowels, grout tubes and corbels. |
| Erection drawings | Panel marks, erection sequence and brace layouts, so the crane crew knows which panel goes where and when. |
| 3D precast models | Tekla Structures or Revit models for coordination, clash checks and model-based approvals. |
| Quantity take-offs | Concrete volumes, panel weights and steel and cast-in schedules for pricing, procurement and crane planning. |
| RFIs and revisions | Design queries raised early and tracked to close, with clouded revisions and an up-to-date drawing register. |
| As-built drawings | Final records updated with site changes for handover. |

We think like the factory
Lifting, bracing, tolerances and what happens on the casting bed are designed into each drawing, not left for the factory floor to work out.
Checked before it reaches you
Every sheet is checked for clashes, dimensions and quantities before issue, so the questions are answered in our office instead of yours.
Issued to suit your casting programme
We plan the drawing issues around your casting sequence, so the first panels are approved and ready when the bed is.
Precast and reinforcement under one roof
Our rebar detailing team works alongside us, so the reinforcement in your panels is detailed by people who schedule bars every day.

Common questions
Anything else, call us on +61 431 334 750.
What do you need from us to get started?
The architectural and structural drawings (PDF, plus DWG or IFC if you have them), the specification, and any factory standards or typical details you want us to follow. A rough casting programme helps us plan the first issue.
Can you work to our standard details and title block?
Yes. We set up the drawing templates, panel marking and schedules to match your factory system, so our drawings look and read like your own.
Which lifting and fixing systems can you detail?
We set out inserts for the system you use, following the supplier's published design data. The lifting design itself is confirmed by the project engineer.
How do you price a precast package?
Send us the drawings and we will come back with a quote and a programme for the package. Larger projects can be priced by stage to match your casting sequence.
Do you work outside Australia?
Yes. We detail precast for clients across Australia and New Zealand, to the standards that apply where the project is built.
Send us your drawings
Tell us about the project and share a link to the drawings. We will reply with any questions, then a quote and a programme.
