Design Desk
The wrong drawing never reaches site.
The Design Desk takes a won project from site measurement to drawings the client has approved, and tells site exactly what changed.

What the Design Desk changes.
4 things that happen in every firm today, and how they go with Pakka.
The site builds from an old drawing.
Every revision needs a note on what changed. Site gets the note, and older versions are kept and clearly marked.
Client comments scattered across WhatsApp.
The client marks up drawings on their phone and approves the full set or room by room.
Work starts before drawings are final.
The door to production stays shut until the design manager and the client approve the GFC set.
Drawings get forwarded and leak.
Shared drawings are watermarked with the viewer's identity. The original file is never sent.
Three rules the Design Desk keeps
- Whose move is it? Always answered.
- A leaked drawing carries the leaker's identity.
- No execution starts until GFC.
