Project design

A workshop is not equipped from a catalogue

Before selling you a machine, we come and see where it will live. On-site survey, scaled layout drawing, detailed quotation, installation and commissioning.

A How we work

The drawing takes shape as you read

Five stages, one contact throughout. What we do on the right, what it looks like on paper on the left.

Stage 01

First contact

You tell us about your business, the floor area you have and the timeframe you are aiming for. We call you back to scope the need and arrange a visit.

You get
A first technical conversation, no strings attached.
We ask you for
The type of business, the floor area, and a building plan if one exists.
Stage 02

Site visit

We come to you. We record everything the rest depends on: headroom, floor load capacity, available power supply, compressed air network, drainage, access widths, vehicle circulation.

You get
A complete survey, and the constraints identified before they become expensive.
We ask you for
Access to the building. The visit and the study are free.
Stage 03

Layout drawing

We draw your workshop to scale in AutoCAD, with the real dimensions of the equipment and the clearance zones needed to operate it. You see the circulation, the work stations and the storage areas before the first order.

You get
A dimensioned layout drawing, revised as many times as needed.
We ask you for
Your priorities, if we have to choose between two configurations.
Stage 04

Quotation

A detailed, item-by-item offer: equipment, civil works where required, installation, commissioning and training. Every line is identifiable, so you know exactly what you are weighing up.

You get
A costed offer, broken down item by item.
We ask you for
Your feedback line by line. A project takes several rounds, that is normal.
Stage 05

Installation and commissioning

Our teams install, connect and commission. Your operators are trained on the machine, on your premises. After that the workshop stays supported: twenty-one technicians on the road and scheduled maintenance contracts.

You get
A working workshop and trained operators.
We ask you for
Nothing more. We remain your contact after commissioning.
B The survey

What we measure before we draw

These six points decide what can be installed, and what cannot.

01

Headroom

It determines the type of lift, the usable travel and whether parking spaces can be stacked.

02

Floor slab and load capacity

A lift, a compressor or a parking system transmit point loads to the ground. The existing slab takes them, or it has to be treated.

03

Power supply

Available capacity, three-phase, position of the distribution board. A lot of projects are decided on this point alone.

04

Compressed air

Required flow rate, compressor sizing, network routing and take-off points at the work stations.

05

Water and drainage

Essential as soon as washing is involved: supply, drainage, separator, and water recycling depending on the case.

06

Access and circulation

Door widths, turning radius, delivery lorry access, vehicle circulation inside the workshop.

What a layout drawing looks like

Every project is drawn to scale before it is costed.

Body shop and mechanical workshop

Sixteen work stations laid out on a single level

What the drawing shows
The dimensioned layout of sixteen work stations, with the circulation and the clearances needed to operate them.
Equipment
Strip-down and rebuild bays, chassis area, workshop heating, electric roller shutters, tyre storage.
Scale
Drawn in AutoCAD, dimensioned to the millimetre. Click the drawing to open it full size.

Every file leaves the design office as A1 drawings, handed to the client before any order is placed.
E Frequently asked questions

Before you call us

Is the study chargeable?

No. The site visit, the survey, the layout drawing and the quotation are free of charge and without obligation.

How long does a study take?

It depends on the size of the project and the number of items to be laid out. We give you a timeframe at the visit, once we know what has to be drawn.

We already have an architect’s drawing. Can you work from that?

Yes. We fit the equipment into an existing drawing and flag the problem areas up front — headroom, load capacity, openings to be provided in the slab. The earlier we get involved, the less the rework costs.

Do you take back equipment already in place?

No, we do not take back existing equipment. The layout drawing does account for it, though: whatever stays in place is surveyed and included in the drawing, so the new equipment fits around it without surprises.

Do you work outside Luxembourg?

Yes. We are based in Grass, and we carry out complete installations in Belgium and France.

F Let’s talk about your project

A workshop to equip?

Thirty years in this trade means above all that we have already come across situations close to yours. Tell us about yours and we will call you back.
