DESIGN & BUILD
Design & fabrication
Membrane structure design and construction
Turn shelter requirements into a practical design for fabrication, installation and future maintenance.
PROJECT OVERVIEW
Understand the conditions before choosing a solution
Design and construction services suit new or replanned canopies. Design must coordinate space, structural behaviour, materials, drainage and site interfaces; construction follows approved drawings for fabrication, transport and installation. Qingsong discusses the proposal and construction, with design depth and specialist responsibilities agreed for each project.
Check drawings against the site
Columns, foundation levels and underground conditions affect installation. A rendering alone is not a fabrication instruction.
Design for maintenance
Consider drainage, connections and inspection access during design and retain the corresponding handover documents.
Key considerations
Choose the structure around the site
The same covered area may use cantilevers, a regular column grid or multiple continuous spans. Compare clearances, nearby buildings, foundations and circulation.
After agreeing the form, develop the structure and membrane details for local conditions, edge connections and drainage. Reference images do not replace engineering documents.
- Define coverage and clearance
- Confirm columns and foundation interfaces
- Check drainage and ancillary facilities
Key considerations
Freeze revisions and details before fabrication
Steelwork dimensions, membrane panels and connections must align. Update affected drawings when measurements or requirements change before issuing fabrication information.
Confirm material, colour, surface treatment and installation interfaces in writing. Compare quotes using the same drawing revision and scope.
Key considerations
Plan the installation sequence
Before mobilisation, check roads, unloading, work space, foundation handover and adjacent operations. Define work zones and pedestrian and vehicle routes on occupied sites.
Handover checks cover components, membranes, connections and drainage, with change records, inspection and maintenance information. Allocate third-party works before mobilisation.
SCOPE & COORDINATION
Define each part of the work
Use the same scope for proposals, quotations and handover.
| Work item | Discussion and delivery | Conditions to confirm |
|---|---|---|
| Design documents | Proposal, dimensions and connection requirements | Design depth, calculations and review responsibilities |
| Materials and fabrication | Membranes, steelwork and connection schedule | Material documents, colours and surface treatment |
| Foundations | Foundation interfaces and handover conditions | Contractor, existing records and acceptance responsibilities |
| Project handover | Installation checks and maintenance documents | Acceptance scope and ancillary system boundaries |
PROJECT JOURNEY
From requirements to an agreed scope
Requirements and survey
Check use, dimensions, clearances and foundations.
Proposal and detailed design
Confirm form, materials, structure and connection details.
Fabrication and installation
Coordinate production and site work against the approved revision.
Inspection and handover
Record completed work, issue resolution and maintenance needs.
START YOUR PROJECT
Prepare these details for your enquiry
Share the location and current requirement so we can review conditions and scope together.
- Site plan and dimensions
- Use, vehicle types or pedestrian requirements
- Photographs of surrounding buildings and ground
- Foundation and underground service records and drawings
- Programme and site coordination arrangements
QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
Frequently asked questions
Can you reproduce a reference picture?
It can explain the appearance, but dimensions, structure and connections must be checked for the actual site.
Can you install directly on existing foundations?
Provide foundation dimensions, locations, levels and records first so compatibility with the new structure can be reviewed.
Why is detailed design needed after the proposal?
The proposal establishes form and layout. Detailed design resolves components, membrane panels, connections and site interfaces for fabrication and installation.
Does the price include all construction works?
Refer to the work list. Confirm foundations, demolition, lighting and drainage connections separately rather than comparing totals alone.
