LONGEST CLIENT RELATIONSHIP
REVISION HISTORY
Twenty years, one register
We started as a two-person drawing office and grew by keeping the same clients, not by chasing new ones. Our longest relationship runs past eleven years.
REV.2005
Founded as ZetaCADD
Two engineers and a drawing board, detailing fabrication work for a single UK client.
REV.2011
First US account
An Austin product company sends a concept. The extended shift covering the US morning starts here.
REV.2016
London office opens
A UK client director joins so scoping, quoting and reviews all happen in the client's working hours.
REV.2019
Joinery desk established
A dedicated millwork team forms after fit-out contractors keep asking for shop drawings, not just models.
REV.2022
APAC coverage
Sydney coordination brings a five-hour live overlap with Australian and New Zealand workshops.
REV.2026
ZetaCore
Same engineers, same register, new name — reflecting four disciplines under one studio.
HOW WE OPERATE — SIX PRINCIPLES
The rules we do not bend
PRN.01
Nothing issues unchecked
A second engineer signs every sheet before it reaches you. No exceptions, no matter the deadline.
PRN.02
Your standards, not ours
BS 8888, ASME Y14.5 and AS 1100 native — issued on your title blocks, templates and numbering.
PRN.03
NDA before files
We sign before we see a single drawing. Work lives in access-controlled PDM and never on a personal machine.
PRN.04
Named people, direct lines
The same engineer for the life of a project, reachable without a ticket system in between.
PRN.05
Fixed quotes in 24 hours
A written price before work starts. No hourly meters running quietly in the background.
PRN.06
Signed off, then invoiced
Feedback loops continue until you sign off — not until the invoice clears.
