LAUNCHPAD by Kolosseum

Look as good on paper as you are on site.

Professional drawing setup for electrical contractors and integrators.

Turn your architectural plans into a professionally prepared drawing package, under your own branding, ready for your next client meeting. We develop the agreed layouts, preliminary schedules and outstanding decisions in Bluebeam Revu. You refine the details and lead the project.

Your branding. An agreed scope. A working set you can take forward.

Illustrative Launchpad animation: plans become an organised drawing package, then launch together

Your capability, clearly on paper.

Present professionally

Put your name on a consistent drawing set that makes the proposed scope easier to explain to clients, builders and architects.

Start organised

Bring layouts, references, preliminary schedules and open decisions together before the next project conversation.

Stay in control

Keep the client relationship and final project decisions. We prepare the agreed documentation and hand over the working set.

See what changes when the drawings are set up properly.

Your architectural plans are the starting point. Launchpad adds the agreed fixture and device layouts, drawing conventions, preliminary schedules and questions that need an answer.

The supplied architectural plan

The base plan supplied for drawing preparation.

The Launchpad review set

Developed layouts, consistent references and clearly identified decisions, prepared for review and coordination.

The next meeting has a starting point. You can discuss positions, selections and project requirements using a structured working set.

What goes into your Launchpad.

Every proposal defines the systems, drawing extent and schedules included. A Project Launchpad package brings together:

  1. Your drawing set, professionally structured

    Partner branding, sheet references, legends, consistent symbols and revision information on the supplied architectural plans.

  2. Developed initial layouts

    Proposed positions for the agreed systems, which may include lighting, switching, power, data, AV, security and automation.

  3. Preliminary schedules and control groups

    Agreed fixture quantities, proposed lighting groups and initial control requirements, with assumptions and information still to be confirmed clearly identified.

  4. An outstanding-decisions register

    A practical list of client selections, site checks, product information and trade coordination items still needed to take the project forward.

  5. A working-file handover

    An editable PDF markup master, a presentation PDF, agreed schedule exports and a guided handover. We confirm the editing workflow against your software before finalising the scope.

Prepared for review and coordination. Construction issue, certification and specialist engineering are included only where expressly agreed and appropriately provided.

Built around the work you already do.

For electrical contractors

Bring proposed lighting, switching, power and control arrangements into one organised package. Use the drawings to discuss positions and selections, with the remaining checks clearly recorded.

For AV and automation integrators

Make device locations, interfaces and agreed system requirements easier to explain and coordinate. Launchpad can cover the nominated AV, data, security and automation scope within the same drawing structure.

Whether you are pursuing the opportunity or have already won the job, we agree a starting point that suits the stage of your project.

From supplied plans to your next project meeting.

  1. Share the project

    Send your current plans, brief, known selections and any existing markups. Tell us what the drawings need to achieve.

  2. Agree the scope

    We define the drawing extent, included systems, outputs, timing and fixed fee before starting.

  3. Review the working set

    We prepare and check the package. You return one consolidated round of feedback against the agreed brief.

  4. Take it forward

    We hand over the agreed files and outstanding decisions. You confirm the project details and continue leading the job.

Changes to the architectural plans, added systems and new selections may require additional work. We identify this before proceeding.

Bluebeam Revu markups for electrical and integration projects.

Launchpad uses Bluebeam Revu to prepare structured PDF drawing markups around your agreed project scope. That can include fixture and device references, room information, proposed control groups and confirmation status.

The handover combines a presentation PDF with an editable markup master and agreed schedule exports. We establish the file workflow around the Revu version and plan you use, so the next steps are clear.

Prepared in Bluebeam Revu. Built around your business. Ready for your next conversation.

Launchpad is a Kolosseum service. Bluebeam software licences are not included, and the service does not imply Bluebeam endorsement.

A professional start, at the right stage.

Proposal Launchpad

For a live opportunity where you need a defined concept or presentation package to support the next client conversation.

  • Limited drawing extent agreed before work starts.
  • Initial layout and presentation of the nominated scope.
  • Clear assumptions and decisions for the next stage.

This is an early-stage package. Further project documentation is scoped separately.

Project Launchpad

For a project that needs a developed drawing setup, preliminary schedules and a clear working-file handover.

  • Partner-branded sheets and agreed initial layouts.
  • Preliminary schedules and outstanding-decisions register.
  • One consolidated review against the agreed brief.
  • Agreed editable files and a guided handover.

Fixed fee, agreed scope. Your quote reflects the extent of the project, systems, available information and documentation required. Send the brief and plans so we can define the right package.

Need support after handover? Further revisions, detailing and documentation can be scoped separately.

We prepare the drawings. You lead the project.

Your questions, answered.

Can the drawings carry our branding?

Yes. We agree the branding and drawing conventions as part of the setup. Required issue information and authorship records remain accurate.

Do we need Bluebeam Revu?

You can view the presentation PDF in a suitable PDF viewer. If you want to continue editing the working markup set, we confirm the workflow and required software features with you before handover. Bluebeam licences are separate.

Are the drawings ready for construction?

The standard Launchpad package is prepared for review and coordination. The agreed proposal identifies what must be verified or approved before another issue purpose. Construction documentation, certification and specialist engineering require an expressly agreed scope.

Does a proposed lighting group equal a final hardware channel?

Not necessarily. Final requirements depend on the control method, selected fixtures and drivers, load information and equipment limits. The package records preliminary intent and the confirmations still required.

What do we need to supply?

The current architectural plans, project brief, known selections, nominated systems and existing markups. We also need your branding and one person authorised to consolidate instructions and feedback.

What if the plans change?

One consolidated review against the agreed brief is included in Project Launchpad. New plan revisions, additional systems and changed selections may need a separate allowance. Corrections to our own errors remain our responsibility.

Can you help before we win the project?

Yes. Proposal Launchpad provides a paid, limited package for that stage. If the project proceeds, we scope the additional work and carry forward the parts that remain applicable.

How long does it take?

We confirm timing after reviewing the drawing extent, available information and current capacity. Tell us about your next meeting or project deadline when you enquire.

Will you deal directly with our client?

You remain the project lead. We agree communication arrangements with you. Direct client or stakeholder involvement is included only where agreed.

Look as good on paper as you are on site.

Your branding. An organised starting point. Your team leading the project.

We break the back of the drawings. You lead the project.
