- 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.
- 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: Productive 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.

- 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.
