Client specifications
Metroid’s ensures full compliance with your and your client’s unique specifications.
We have delivered projects for hundreds of high profile end clients across mining, municipal, food & beverage manufacturing, energy projects and other critical infrastructure applications.
Design Process
Step 1:
Sales to Design Handover
The sales and estimating team members you’ve been dealing with meet with the design team including an assigned Project Manager and Project Engineer, and ensure there is a detailed handover of all requirements.
Step 2:
'Full-Kit' Process
The Project Engineer builds out a detailed summary to capture of all the specific requirements in your project, prior to design start.
Step 3:
Electrical Design & Drafting
Our Project Engineer works with assigned drafting engineers to create your design documentation, checking in with you with any queries along the way.
Step 4:
Mechanical Design & Drafting
In parallel to electrical design, our mechanical design engineers build out any custom enclosures, kiosks, mounting frames or platforms required for your project.
Step 5:
Design Submission & Review
We submit the completed design pack to you and your end client for review and any revisions required are made and drawings are resubmitted.
Step 6:
Design Approval
Once you and your end client are satisfied, you formally approve the drawings for manufacture.
Step 7:
Production Preparation
Once the drawings are approved, we finalise the Bill of Materials and procure all components required. Production documentation is prepared and your project is scheduled for production.
