· Example use
A project manager at schematic stage selects GA plans, RCP, AV and IT systems, outline scope, an appointed architect and a possible site visit. The checker returns the drawings to gather, the AV / IT / cabling disciplines to coordinate, the architect and consultant roles to involve, and the open questions to settle before requesting a written estimate after technical review.
· Frequently asked
Drawing & BOQ Readiness Checker —
what people ask first.
Is this a quote request?
No. It is a readiness tool that tells you what to prepare before a serious review. When the pack is ready, send the drawings or brief through the contact route for a written estimate after technical review.
Can I use it before a BOQ exists?
Yes. At concept or schematic stage it helps identify which drawings, schedules and assumptions are missing before a BOQ or specification is written.
Does it review my BOQ?
No. It does not ingest files or review a BOQ. It helps you assemble the inputs a project lead would ask for before a manual review.
Will it ask for sensitive drawings?
No files are uploaded here. The tool runs in the browser and only creates a preparation list. Share drawings only through authorised project channels.
What happens after I prepare the pack?
Use the Architect Brief Builder to turn it into a coordination brief, or contact the studio with the drawings, BOQ or project note for a written estimate after review.
