We have written before the clients who are Steel Fabricators, Builders, Precast Panel Manufacturers are frenetic about the delivery of their drawings. They want to know WHEN the drawings are coming. If you have received some IFA (Issued For Approval) review drawings 1 hour ago, they will often call within 1-3 hours to ask for an ETA on their drawings.
Why are steel fabricators always asking delivery dates
To be on a construction site is expensive for every one. The builder has expensive rental on site. They deploy good number of supervisors, engineers, riggers, on site.
- For the steel or precast fabricator, there are mulitple costs.
- Costs at their own facility
- Erection costs.
- Costs of delay the builer will charge them.
Without knowing expected time of arrival of shop drawings, They are not able to plan properly
As steel detailer and precast detailer, it is our job to make sure that all parties are aware about when the drawings will arrive
You must be vigilant and proactive to their needs:
Memo – as soon as IFA review drawings with reviews are received – please make a status update.
