How to use the detailing manual
What the Detailing Manual covers, why project-specific documents take precedence, and who to ask when something is unclear.
What this manual is for
This Detailing Manual establishes the standards, procedures, best practices and quality requirements to be followed throughout the steel detailing project lifecycle.
It serves as a guide for:
- project review
- modelling
- checking
- drawing production
- revisions
- project delivery
The aim is to ensure consistency, accuracy and efficiency across all projects.
Project-specific documents take precedence
While this manual provides standardized guidance, it cannot address every situation that may arise during a project.
Project-specific requirements, contract documents, customer standards, specifications and approved instructions shall always take precedence over this manual.
When in doubt, ask
Where conflicts, discrepancies or unclear conditions are encountered, consult the assigned Project Manager or Lead Detailer and obtain clarification before proceeding.
A living document
This manual is a living document. Feedback, recommendations and lessons learned are encouraged and will be considered for future improvements, to continuously enhance our processes, quality standards and project delivery capabilities.
