What a useful submission should clarify
Discuss dimensions, materials, hardware, finishes, joints and assembly information relevant to the element. Identify how it connects to adjacent work and where lighting or equipment needs coordination. Ask the fabricator to flag assumptions and deviations so they are visible to the reviewing team.
Who prepares and who reviews
Agree the submission and review responsibilities before fabrication. The fabricator develops production-specific information and confirms dimensions within its scope. The consultant may review alignment with design intent. Structural engineering, code compliance, certification and other specialist approvals belong to the responsible qualified professionals—not an informal design-intent review.
Resolve questions before release
Check that the current design references, samples and finish selections are identified. Record comments and outstanding interfaces, then establish who can release the element for production under the project agreement. A review does not remove the fabricator’s responsibility for its work or guarantee that every production issue has been identified.
How Tony supports the process
Consultony offers fabrication-minded shop drawing review and coordination alongside reputable contractors and fabricators. Bring the design package, relevant specifications, submission history and any site constraints. The aim is a clearer conversation between the design intent and the people making the element.
