Plan Workflow: Aligning Volanti Displays with Every Project Stage
Effective plan management is as much about where teams view drawings as how they move them through each checkpoint. Below is a quick-read guide that maps ten stages of an AEC plan workflow to the Volanti display line-up. Use it to decide which screen belongs in the design studio, the job trailer, or the punch-list walk-through.
| # | Plan-Workflow Stage | Tabletop 32 / 43 in | Plan Review Table 43 / 55 / 65 in | Plan Review Desk 43 / 55 in | Job Box 55 in | ICS Case 32 in |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Concept & Feasibility | ✓ sketch charrettes | • client pitch board | • designer focus desk | ||
| 2 | Schematic Design | ✓ early red-lines | ✓ discipline pin-ups | ✓ architect desk | ||
| 3 | Design Development | • option reviews | ✓ coordination sessions | ✓ BIM lead desk | ||
| 4 | Construction Documents | • detail checks | ✓ full-sheet milestone reviews | ✓ spec writer desk | ||
| 5 | Procurement / Pre-Construction | ✓ pull-planning and bid walk-throughs | ✓ rolling cart for quantity take-offs | |||
| 6 | Construction & Field Revisions | ✓ daily crew huddles | ✓ job-trailer hub for live updates | ✓ punch-walk assistant | ||
| 7 | Operations & Maintenance | ✓ O&M kiosk | ✓ facility engineer desk | ✓ on-call troubleshooting |

Key Takeaways
-
Design studio vs. site use
- Tabletop displays shine when teams huddle over early sketches or perform side-by-side detail checks.
- Plan Review Tables dominate once multiple disciplines need the same view in real size.
-
Mobility matters after ground breaks
- The Job Box brings a 55-inch plan surface to any slab edge without sacrificing viewing real estate.
- The suitcase-style ICS Case supersedes printed half-size sets for field verifications—you carry one screen instead of 200 sheets.
-
Single source of truth through hardware choice
- Because the mapping is software agnostic, swapping Bluebeam, Dalux, or a custom PDF viewer does not affect which Volanti model fits each checkpoint.
- Consistent hardware across locations simplifies IT imaging and user training.
-
Right-sizing the screen saves budget
- A design firm might deploy Tabletop units in each studio bay and reserve one 65-inch Plan Review Table for milestone reviews.
- A contractor could pair one Job Box per floor with an ICS Case for punch walks—no need for every crew to have a full-size table.
Closing Thought
A plan workflow lives or dies on information flow. Matching the stage to the right Volanti surface ensures that flow stays uninterrupted—no matter which software the project team prefers.
