Compare on one brief
Let the operating requirement decide.
Use the same footprint, destination, crew, operating period and acceptance schedule when comparing the two systems. A structure name alone does not establish setup time, packed size or suitability for a tender.
- Deployment priority
- For an air-beam proposal, confirm the inflation equipment, valve access and setup sequence. For a frame proposal, confirm the frame-part schedule, assembly steps and handling crew. Compare times only for the approved configuration and site conditions.
- Transport priority
- Ask for a complete packed-set list for each route: shelter body, floor, anchoring, pump or frame parts, bags, instructions and agreed spares. Compare bundle count and handling limits before selecting a transport plan.
- Space priority
- Share the required clear area, entrances, equipment envelope, service openings and any module connections. Check each proposed drawing against the same internal layout rather than comparing nominal floor area alone.
- Specification priority
- If the buyer or tender specifies a structure, test method, material or document set, use that requirement as the starting point. Record any proposed alternative and its acceptance method before approving a sample.
