What is the Fulcro execution process?

Fulcro follows a 7-step execution process: (1) Design Handoff & Documentation, (2) Shop Drawings & Engineering, (3) Material Procurement, (4) Factory Production, (5) Site Coordination, (6) Installation & QC Gates, (7) Handover & Documentation. Each step has defined deliverables and quality checkpoints.

How long does the Fulcro execution process take?

Timeline varies by project scope. Typical breakdown: Shop drawings (2-3 weeks), Material procurement (2-4 weeks), Factory production (3-6 weeks), Site installation (4-8 weeks). Total: 12-20 weeks for standard residential projects. Complex projects require detailed scheduling.

What are QC gates in the Fulcro process?

QC gates are mandatory quality checkpoints at critical milestones: Design review, Shop drawing approval, Material inspection, Factory pre-dispatch check, Site installation inspection, Final handover verification. No project advances without QC gate clearance and documentation.

Does Fulcro provide shop drawings?

Yes. Fulcro develops detailed shop drawings for all fabrication work including dimensions, materials, finishes, hardware specifications, and installation details. Shop drawings require client and architect approval before production begins.

What documentation does Fulcro provide at handover?

Fulcro provides: As-built drawings, warranty certificates, maintenance guides, material test certificates, QC inspection reports, photographic documentation, operating manuals (for automation/AV systems), and handover certificate with project closeout summary.

The Fulcro Execution Process

7 steps. Defined deliverables. QC gates at every milestone.

Design Handoff & Documentation

Receive architectural drawings, BOQ, design intent, material specifications.

Deliverable: Design review report with clarifications

Shop Drawings & Engineering

Develop detailed shop drawings, fabrication plans, CNC files, MEP coordination.

Deliverable: Approved shop drawings with client/architect sign-off

Material Procurement

Source materials per specs, quality checks, vendor coordination, delivery scheduling.

Deliverable: Material arrival confirmation with test certificates

Factory Production

CNC cutting, assembly, finishing (lacquer/veneer), pre-installation QC checks.

Deliverable: Factory QC approval and dispatch readiness

Site Coordination

Civil readiness verification, site access preparation, installation sequencing.

Deliverable: Site readiness checklist completion

Installation & QC Gates

On-site installation, milestone inspections, snag resolution, functional testing.

Deliverable: QC gate clearance with photographic evidence

Handover & Documentation

Final inspection, warranty documentation, maintenance guides, project closeout.

Deliverable: Handover certificate and complete as-built documentation

What Makes This Process Different

Defined Milestones

Every step has clear deliverables and approval gates. No work proceeds without sign-off.

Factory Integration

CNC precision manufacturing reduces on-site errors. Components arrive ready for installation.

Real-Time Tracking

Dashboard visibility for architects and clients. Timestamped updates at every milestone.

Single Accountability

One partner from design to handover. No finger-pointing between vendors.
