All 3 Documented Cases
Rework and Scrap from Specification Mismatches
AUD 8,000–15,000 per specification-induced reject; estimated 2–4 rejects per 100 orders in manual workflows = AUD 16,000–60,000 annual loss for mid-sized fabricator (100+ orders/year).Search result [1] identifies 'copied and pasted specs' as a common issue resulting in 'references to incorrect products.' Result [10] explicitly states 'incorrect spec matching really costs you beyond the surface,' with consequences cascading through production. Result [2] warns that 'imprecise measurements mean you'll get a custom-fabricated glass that won't work with your project.' For custom tempered or shaped glass, a single rework cycle consumes 15–25 hours of fabrication time plus raw material loss.
Manual Specification Verification and Communication Delays
20–30 hours per spec review cycle at AUD 50–75/hour (technical labor) = AUD 1,000–2,250 per project; with 15–20 projects/quarter for mid-market fabricator = AUD 15,000–45,000 annual labor drag. Lost sales from extended lead times = est. AUD 5,000–10,000 per delayed project (1–2 lost projects/year due to customer churn).Result [2] states 'Precise sketch measurements ensure your glass manufacturer efficiently and accurately completes your job' and warns that 'your manufacturer shouldn't have to struggle to understand the details.' Result [4] highlights the 'Construction phase' reliance on 'close collaboration between architect, consultant, client, builder, and facade contractor,' implying sequential approval cycles. Result [1] notes the need for 'thorough vetting' and verification that specs 'reflect the most current language and standards.' Manual back-and-forth typically adds 5–10 business days to project lead time.
Project Lead Time Extensions and Lost Sales Due to Specification Delays
Estimated 3–8% customer churn due to lead-time dissatisfaction in competitive Australian market = AUD 30,000–100,000 annual revenue loss for AUD 2–5M annual glazing fabricator.Result [2] notes that 'production time can vary' and emphasizes communication as 'key for your glass manufacturer to deliver the product you were hoping for.' Architects and contractors expect 48-hour turnarounds on quotes; manual spec review often takes 5–7 days, causing customers to shop for faster suppliers or cancel projects entirely, particularly in fast-track commercial builds.
