Your Task

A marquee client, Charlotte Perriand, on visiting Wintec Rotokauri has decided to

manufacture copies of the Wintec picnic tables. She has asked you to accurately measure
up one of the tables, produce a set of industry standard CAD dimensioned plans including a
plan view, standard elevations and an isometric or 3D view, a materials/cutting list, a
schedule of quantities, an itemised schedule of the approximate manufacturing cost per
table and a sales brochure for promotional purposes. Charlotte is planning to sell the tables
with a 15% markup on the cost of manufacture. She will also require an invoice for your
work measuring, drawing and reporting back to her.

Charlotte requires that all works associated with the job including field notes, diagrams,
research notes, checked draft plans, the invoice etc. to be uploaded to a dropbox nominated
by her agent Maurice.ONeill@wintec.ac.nz in a pdf format under a covering letter before
the due date.

Assessment: Note this is an individual assignment all work must be unique to each
student and noticeably different to every other student.

Measure Up

 A set of hand drawn diagrams detailing all of the measurements and details of the
existing picnic table. Ideally these would be done on a “Your Company” Calculation
Sheet. They might include marked up photographs of the table.
 Notes on the types of material and method of manufacture may be included.

Draw Plans

 CAD Plans should include but not be limited to dimensioned plan views,
dimensioned elevations and isometric and/or 3D views.
 All materials should be identified on the plans.
 Reference to standards including drawing standards is required to ensure that the
CAD plans produced meet with recognised best practice.
 Including copies of or references to the relevant standard material is advised.
 Plans should be on a suitable “Your Company” plan form or template and include a
Title Plan listing all the plans in the planset.

Materials/Cutting List, Schedule of Quantities, Schedule of Costs

 Schedules and lists should be done in a digital spreadsheet format

 Costs should be researched and supported with evidence where possible.

Sales Brochure

 A sales brochure is required detailing the benefits a consumer would get from
purchasing the table and include a price per table based on a 15% mark up on the
cost of manufacture.

Invoice

 Your invoice should account for all of your chargeable time spent on the various
aspects of the project and all costs associated with the production of the outputs,
printing, travel etc.

Covering Letter

 A formal letter to your client detailing the important aspects of the project, listing
the outputs and presenting your invoice for the work you have done.
