Erection Guide

Keep current PEMB documents, field evidence, and questions connected

A mobile field workflow being built for current documents, phase checklists, issue capture, inspection records, and escalation to the right person.

Field and safety boundary

Erection Guide is in development and is not available for customer production use. It is not represented as autonomously interpreting drawings or prescribing structural, connection, torque, sequencing, lifting, temporary-stability, or safety instructions. The competent person, site safety plan, approved project documents, manufacturer, engineer of record, and authority having jurisdiction remain controlling authorities.

Permitted Public Capability

What is being designed and evaluated

01

Organize phase checklists around the current approved project documents.

02

Attach issues, photos, inspections, and progress records to the project.

03

Support offline access to approved documents and checklists.

04

Escalate conflicts between field conditions, drawings, manufacturer instructions, and responsible authorities.

Planned Workflow Scope

Organize approved evidence instead of inventing field direction

Current Document Control

Present only the current approved drawings, specifications, manufacturer instructions, bulletins, and project notices associated with the active revision.

Supervised Phase Checklists

Organize project-specific checklists for competent-person supervision without turning a software sequence into erection authority.

Issue and Conflict Capture

Record field conditions, discrepancies, photos, questions, responsible parties, and resolution status without improvising an answer.

Inspection Evidence

Associate approved inspection forms, observations, acknowledgements, photos, timestamps, and revision context with the project record.

Offline-Oriented Access

Cache approved documents and checklists with integrity and version controls for locations with limited connectivity.

Governed Escalation

Stop and route the issue to the manufacturer, engineer of record, competent person, or other controlling authority when evidence is missing or conflicting.

Authority Hierarchy

The application must preserve who is actually authorized to decide

01

Site Safety Plan and Competent Person

Control site-specific safety planning, hazard assessment, fall protection, temporary stability, work sequencing, and authorization to proceed.

02

Current Project Drawings and Specifications

Control project geometry, member identification, connection requirements, details, notes, revisions, and scope-specific requirements.

03

Manufacturer Instructions and Bulletins

Control product-specific installation, handling, storage, fastening, tolerances, and approved corrective procedures.

04

Engineer of Record and Specialty Engineer

Resolve structural interpretation, field discrepancies, temporary stability questions, modifications, and conditions outside approved documents.

05

Authority Having Jurisdiction and Inspector

Control applicable inspection, code, permit, and acceptance requirements within their authority.

Mandatory Refusal

Conditions that require stopping and escalation

A responsible field system must know when not to answer. These conditions are product requirements, not optional disclaimers.

  • The document revision cannot be proven current.
  • Drawings, specifications, manufacturer instructions, or field conditions conflict.
  • A connection, fastener, torque, weld, temporary-bracing, or stability requirement is missing or ambiguous.
  • The requested action would modify, cut, drill, weld, heat, bend, substitute, or relocate structural material without approval.
  • The question involves site-specific safety, means and methods, lifting, fall protection, weather, temporary stability, or competent-person authority.
  • The user lacks authorization to access the project evidence or request the action.

Intended Evaluation

Supervised industry review, not unsupervised field use

Experienced PEMB erection teams working under competent-person supervision.

Contractors and field leaders reviewing document control, checklists, inspections, and issue workflows.

Manufacturer and engineering support teams reviewing escalation and evidence requirements.
