While it is quite possible to prepare a fully detailed and comprehensive plan with a word processor and hand drawn sketches, the apparent precision and professionalism of drawings prepared using CAD cannot be understated. The first impression most clients have of their vendors is the paperwork they receive at time of bidding and the subsequent documents that are submitted as part of a lift plan or other prequalification documents. The largest and most respected crane, rigging and transportation companies achieve their reputation through their great people, their wide variety of well-maintained equipment and their ability to project a safe, competent and professional image to their clients.
