Key Roles & Responsibilities 1. Cutting List Preparation & Production Drawings
• Prepare accurate cutting lists from approved 2D detailed drawings for modular furniture and customized interior works.
• Generate panel-wise cutting dimensions, material specifications, edge banding details, and hardware requirements.
• Prepare production-ready drawings and ensure dimensional accuracy.
• Optimize cutting lists to minimize material wastage and improve production efficiency.
• Understand carcass construction, shutter sizing, panel thickness, allowances, and joinery details. 2. Drawing Quality Control (QC) Before Production
• Conduct thorough technical QC of all drawings before releasing them for fabrication.
• Verify dimensions, elevations, sectional details, material specifications, finishes, hardware placements, and construction methods.
• Identify design discrepancies, missing information, impractical details, and manufacturing challenges.
• Cross-check approved client drawings against final production drawings.
• Ensure no unapproved or incorrect drawings are released for production. 3. Modular & Carpentry Work Segregation
• Analyze project drawings and identify work suitable for factory modular manufacturing versus on-site carpentry execution.
• Prepare separate scope lists for factory production and site carpentry.
• Coordinate with production and execution teams for proper work allocation.
• Evaluate the feasibility of factory manufacturing based on transportation, installation, site access, and assembly requirements. 4. Cutting List & Material Quantity Verification
• Cross-verify cutting lists against approved 2D layouts, elevations, and final measurements.
• Validate the total quantity of boards, shutters, laminates, edge bands, hardware, and accessories.
• Ensure accurate material allocation for every modular unit.
• Detect missing items, duplicate quantities, dimensional errors, and incorrect material specifications.
• Maintain material consumption records and wastage calculations. 5. Material Quantity Analysis & Budget Planning
• Prepare detailed Bill of Materials (BOM) and project-wise material quantity estimates.
• Calculate plywood, HDHMR, laminates, edge banding, hardware, accessories,



and other production material requirements.
• Evaluate material consumption against the approved project budget.
• Optimize material utilization while maintaining approved quality standards.
• Identify potential cost overruns before production.
• Coordinate with the Purchase and Production departments to ensure accurate material ordering. 6. Final Site Marking & Execution Feasibility
• Verify final site measurements and marking details before production.
• Cross-check drawings against actual site conditions.
• Evaluate practical feasibility concerning walls, columns, beams, electrical points, plumbing provisions, appliance dimensions, ceiling levels, and installation clearances.
• Identify potential site execution challenges before manufacturing.
• Coordinate with designers, planning managers, and project heads to resolve technical discrepancies.
• Ensure production dimensions align with final approved site measurements. 7. Modular Hardware & Technical Knowledge
• Possess strong technical knowledge of modular furniture hardware and accessories.
• Understand hinges, drawer channels, tandem systems, lift-up fittings, sliding systems, wardrobe mechanisms, kitchen accessories, connectors, and assembly fittings.
• Familiarity with hardware brands such as Hettich, Häfele, Blum, Ebco, and similar manufacturers.
• Verify hardware compatibility with cabinet dimensions, shutter weights, panel thicknesses, and manufacturing requirements.
• Recommend technically suitable, cost-effective hardware solutions.
• Prepare hardware schedules for production and purchasing. Required Technical Skills
• Strong knowledge of AutoCAD 2D and production/shop drawings.
• Proficiency in cutting list preparation and furniture manufacturing detailing.
• Knowledge of cutting list and nesting software such as CutList Optimizer, SketchUp, Cabinet Vision, IMOS,



or similar tools is an advantage.
• Excellent knowledge of modular furniture manufacturing processes.
• Strong understanding of plywood, HDHMR, MDF, laminates, veneers, edge banding, and finishing materials.
• Ability to prepare accurate BOQs, BOMs, material estimations, and cost calculations using Microsoft Excel.
• Practical understanding of CNC cutting, edge banding, boring, panel assembly, and installation processes.
• Knowledge of furniture hardware specifications and installation clearances.
• Ability to identify drawing errors and manufacturing feasibility issues before production.
• Strong coordination skills with design, purchase, production, and site execution teams. Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) The selected candidate will be evaluated based on: 1. Cutting List Accuracy: Minimal dimensional errors, missing components, and production rework. 2. Drawing QC: Identification and correction of technical discrepancies before fabrication. 3. Material Optimization: Effective material utilization and reduction in wastage. 4. Budget Accuracy: Material estimates aligned with approved project budgets. 5. Production Readiness: Timely release of validated, production-ready drawings and BOMs. 6. Site Feasibility: Reduction in installation issues resulting from drawing and measurement errors. 7. Hardware Accuracy: Correct hardware selection, quantities, and specifications. 8. Cross-Department Coordination: Effective communication between Design, Planning, Purchase, Production, and Execution departments. Reporting & Coordination Reports To: Planning Manager / Project Head Works Closely With:
• 2D Design Team
• Planning Department
• Production Manager
• Purchase Department
• Project Managers & Site Execution Team Important Expectation This is a technical engineering and production planning role, not a creative interior designer position. The candidate must be capable of converting approved interior design drawings into accurate, technically feasible, budget-controlled, and production-ready manufacturing documentation. Accuracy, technical validation, material optimization, and prevention of manufacturing errors are the core responsibilities of this position.
