This is an example brief. Its company, dates, budget, assignment and progress illustrate a project; they do not represent available or commissioned work. Proposals cannot be submitted.
The brief
The internal PCB and connector positions are frozen. We need a three-piece folded enclosure with one removable cover, straightforward cable access and no custom tooling. The assignment includes four part drawings, one assembly drawing and one supplier-feedback revision. Thermal simulation, ingress testing, hardware manufacture and product certification are excluded. All panels must be removable in the agreed assembly sequence without disturbing the sensor mounting.
A running start
Completed: agreed the part split, connector cut-outs and service-access sequence.
Current: detail the folded parts and check bend clearances against the fabricator capability sheet.
Resolve the agreed comments and verify that flat patterns, part drawings and assembly references match.
Working together
Confirm the deliverables, review checks and response window together so everyone knows what a successful handover looks like.
Record the requested change, its reason and its effect on deliverables, budget and timing. Both parties agree the revised scope in writing before the additional work begins.
