Drawing Approval & Technical Support
Approving a technical drawing that may contain a small error can prove costly to any project.
Once a client has approved a drawing, this is often the point of no return in terms of design and manufacture. Any errors or future amendments are often then placed firmly in the court of the client, including the associated costs for redesign and material.
At 1 Stop, we can prevent you from making this costly mistake.
These costs are easily avoided by expert analysis, site survey (if required), comment and subsequent approval. Our team can analyse any technical drawings and specifications, ensuring that they are fit for use before you go ahead and approve your project.
