Fire protection pump room modelled to LOD 400
For Contractors Moving to Fabrication

The Fab-Ready Package.

Takes a coordinated, clash-free federated model the rest of the way — to fabrication-level shop drawings and spooling your shop can actually build from.

What It Is

The gap between "coordinated" and "buildable."

A coordinated model isn't the same as a fabrication-ready one. The Fab-Ready Package takes your coordinated federated model — from a BuildPath Sprint or from your own team — and produces the shop drawings, spools and sheet sets your fabrication shop needs, in the format they actually use.

Coming from a BuildPath Sprint, the conversion starts from a leaner baseline: because routing was already optimized for fewer fittings and simpler runs at the coordination stage, there are fewer custom cuts and less spool complexity to detail. Your Sprint's Optimization Summary becomes the starting comparison point for the Fab-Ready quote.

Who It's For

Contractors ready to build.

  • Your model is coordinated and you're moving into procurement and fabrication
  • You need spool drawings, shop drawings, or fabrication sheet sets from a coordinated LOD 400 model
  • You want fabrication output built with the shop's format in mind from the first pass, not retrofitted at the end

Flagged in the original Sprint proposal as a likely next step — never a surprise mid-project — and raised again once the LOD 350 → LOD 400 step is the natural next move.

What's included.

SINGLE TRADE

Single-Trade Package

Fabrication drawings and spooling for one discipline — mechanical, electrical, plumbing, or fire protection.

MULTI TRADE

Multi-Trade Package

Coordinated fabrication output across two or more disciplines, cross-checked against each other before issue.

OUTPUT

Shop-Ready Format

Spools, shop drawings and sheet sets delivered in the format your fabrication shop uses — not a generic export.

STANDARDS

Regional fabrication standards

Confirmed explicitly against your applicable regional standard at kickoff — SMACNA/NFPA for US, BS/EN for UK, AS/NZS for AU/NZ.

Where this fits.

TYPICAL STARTING POINT

BuildPath Sprint

Most Fab-Ready engagements start right after a BuildPath Sprint, taking the same route-optimized model straight into fabrication output at a leaner baseline.
