Design changes affect fabrication
Keep approved design information connected to the Project so workshop and site teams are not working from different assumptions.
JobCue for set & scenic production companies
Keep design, workshop production and site delivery connected to the same build.
Set and scenic production combines creative design with fabrication, materials, workshop planning, subcontractors, transport and site installation. JobCue gives production teams one Job-led record for that process while Resource Planning, Freelancers and Accounts can add the specialist depth needed around people and commercial delivery.
