Workpack Generator
The Workpack Generator creates workpack narratives, job cards, and indexes from CAD drawings and standard templates, reducing manual effort in engineering projects.
What it does
The tool automates the first pass of workpack construction. It pulls unique identifiers from drawing and document systems, merges them into standard text templates, and creates job cards and indexes that would otherwise be built by hand.
Who it is for
- Engineering teams producing workpacks and job cards at scale.
- Planning and construction teams who rely on accurate IDs and references.
- Leads responsible for handover packs and documentation quality.
What it automates first
- Populating standard workpack templates from a blank baseline.
- Pulling project, workpack, and drawing IDs into narrative text.
- Creating job cards and document indexes from the same source set.
Sequencing of work remains a leadership decision. The generator focuses on the repeatable, text-heavy parts of the process.
Inputs
- CAD drawings and metadata from systems such as ProArc.
- Standard narrative templates for disciplines and work types.
- Norms and timing logic for estimating man-hours.
Outputs
- Draft workpack narratives and procedures.
- Job cards derived from each narrative procedure.
- Document and job card index tables ready for review.
Why it matters
- Reduce repetitive manual editing of workpack documents.
- Lower risk of inconsistent or missing IDs across artifacts.
- Free engineers to focus on exceptions and higher-value work.
