Why Lintel Scheduling Matters: Streamlining Specification with Catnic CLASS

⏱️ ~ 4 min read

A Smarter Way to Specify Lintels

Lintel scheduling is an essential part of the design and specification process, helping project teams identify every lintel required for a development. A detailed schedule supports smooth installation on site and provides a clear, accurate description of each lintel, including its location, specification, price and delivery timeframe.

Why Accurate Lintel Specification Is Critical

The success of any construction project depends on the performance of its core structural components. Correct lintel specification at the design stage is vital. If a lintel is incorrectly selected or not fit for purpose, it may need to be replaced later in the build, causing delays, additional cost and, in severe cases, risking structural failure.

A comprehensive lintel schedule, such as the Catnic Lintel Advanced Scheduling Service (CLASS), helps eliminate these risks by ensuring every opening is correctly assessed and specified from the outset.

How Lintel Scheduling Works

A professional lintel scheduling service takes customer drawings and converts them into a complete, project‑specific lintel list. This gives housebuilders, architects and contractors a single, concise document detailing all required lintels. The result is a simplified specification process, reduced administrative burden and a single point of contact for technical queries.

Why Choose Catnic CLASS

With CLASS, Catnic’s technical team takes full responsibility for producing a fully backed, priced lintel schedule. This includes:

• A lintel-by-lintel breakdown for every opening
• Accurate specification aligned to project requirements
• Pricing and delivery information
• Technical support from Catnic’s in‑house experts

By using CLASS, customers can often bypass the need for third‑party structural engineers for lintel specification, saving time and cost.

Additional Products Included in Your Schedule

CLASS goes beyond lintels. The service can also schedule additional products required for the same project, including:

• Soffit cladding
• Metre box lintels
• PVC arch centres
• Juliet balconies

This ensures all related components are captured in one coordinated schedule.

A Growing Project Database for Faster Future Support

CLASS also acts as a secure project database, storing technical drawings and schedules for all existing customers. This allows users to review their project history and enables Catnic to provide faster, more efficient support for future developments.
