Workflow

The Engineering Design Process

How I take industrial steel and process projects from initial structural requirements through to manufacturing-ready fabrication drawings.

01STAGE_01

Requirements

Understand access requirements, clearance envelopes, site boundaries, load conditions, and applicable standards (e.g. BS EN ISO 14122).

STATUS: READY
02STAGE_02

Concept Design

Prepare preliminary sketches and structural frame layouts balancing safety, ergonomics, raw material availability, and shipping sizes.

STATUS: READY
03STAGE_03

3D CAD Modelling

Build detailed parametric 3D models of assemblies, parts, and hardware configurations to verify fits and clearance checks.

STATUS: READY
04STAGE_04

Design Review

Perform virtual walkthroughs and structural checks to identify conflicts, verify access corridors, and review DFM metrics.

STATUS: READY
05STAGE_05

Drawing Pack

Produce general arrangements, manufacturing-ready fabrication drawings, part cut lists, weld notations, and bill of materials (BOM).

STATUS: READY
06STAGE_06

Fabrication Support

Liaise directly with the shop floor, responding to fabrication queries, optimizing laser profiles, and ensuring drawing interpretation clarity.

STATUS: READY
07STAGE_07

Site Installation

Deliver concrete fixing plans, section details, and split-frame layouts ensuring a smooth and safe installation sequence on site.

STATUS: READY
08STAGE_08

As-Built Handover

Issue final drawing revisions, installation markups, updated BOMs, and close-out documentation so the delivered project record stays complete.

STATUS: READY
