Project Overview

The objective was to translate the client architectural facade drawings and panel positioning concepts into detailed and coordinated shop drawings. The drawings covered panel layouts, elevations, sections and connection details as per project requirements.

The Challenge

What Made This Project Complex

The key challenge was developing accurate shop drawings while maintaining the panel positioning and design intent specified in the architectural drawings. Ensuring consistency across layouts, elevations, sections and connection details was essential.

01 Panel Layout Coordination: Maintaining accurate ACM panel positioning and alignment according to architectural drawings.
02 Drawing Development: Preparing coordinated floor plans, elevations, and sectional details while maintaining dimensional accuracy.
03 Connection & Fixing Details: Developing precise panel connection and fixing details to support fabrication and installation requirements.
Our Approach

How Milestone PLM delivered

We followed a structured drawing development process, starting with reviewing the architectural drawings and panel positioning requirements. We then prepared coordinated plans, elevations, sections and connection details to meet the client documentation and detailing standards.

Key Deliverables
