Pattern detailing drawings are prepared based on the
final approved CAD drawings and shop drawings for internal execution purposes.
Every element is supported by a dedicated
pattern drawing capturing the minutest details of the element.
In simple terms, the pattern detailing represents the
exact physical replica of the final element.
This stage can also be referred to as the
“positive” of the proposed element.
All minor or major design changes must be finalized strictly at this stage only.
Once this stage is completed, no changes are permitted as mould-making follows.
Any changes requested after this stage will require the
entire element to be re-developed from the beginning.
During this stage, we strongly request the
architects, consultants, and clients to visit our factory to
check, cross-check, verify, and approve the pattern.
Pattern making can be executed using
various substrates and the final method is decided by the
pattern maker in consultation with the factory manager / in-charge.
Patterns may be developed using
wood, POP, clay, plywood, or metal,
depending on the complexity and requirement of the element.
The precision and accuracy of the pattern directly determine the
quality of the final GRC / FRP / GFRC element.
Hence, a physical visit and approval at this stage is extremely important.
This process demands high precision, continuous monitoring, and technical expertise.
Pattern detailing and making typically
absorbs around 25% to 30% of the total project cost.
