On the site
Field Figure Reading
A Field Figure Reading is for clients whose important counts were made on site: pump hours beside a canal, baskets at a sorting yard, meter notes in a mill hall. The studio visits that place in Bangkok, listens to the person who kept the tally, and only then draws.
- Format
- Site days plus a short drawn note
- Duration
- One to three site days, then about two weeks in the studio
- Where
- The visit is at the client's site inside Bangkok. Drawing is finished at the studio on Pracha Uthit Road.
- Price basis
- 28,000 THB per site day, studio drawing quoted after the visit
Who commissions it
Operators who do not trust a chart made by someone who never stood where the tally was written.
What you leave with
A short drawn note, usually eight to fourteen pages, that names the place, the person who kept the count, and the limits of what that count can say.
Inside the commission
- The booked site days inside Bangkok
- Time with the tally keeper, not only with the office
- A written list of what the visit could and could not confirm
- A short drawn note prepared back at the studio
Outside the commission
- Overnight stays and travel outside Bangkok
- Collecting a new survey from households or workers
- A full Sustainability Impact Brief, unless it is commissioned separately
Who does the work
Malai Thongchai or Niran Saelee attends the site. Arthit Wong binds the short note if the client wants copies beyond the studio print.
How the weeks run
-
Book the day
The client names the site, the tally keeper, and the hours the yard or mill can host a visitor.
-
Stand with the tally
The studio reads the paper where it lives and asks what the awkward weeks were.
-
Draw the note
Back on Pracha Uthit Road, the visit becomes a short bound or stapled note. The quote for that drawing is confirmed before the pages start.
Before the first sitting
- Introduce the tally keeper before the day, and tell them the visit is to understand the count, not to inspect them.
- If boots, a helmet, or a visitor log are required, say so when the day is booked.
Limits the studio keeps
- The day fee is 28,000 THB inside Bangkok and is paid when the date is held.
- One reschedule is open if notice arrives at least two working days ahead.
How the price is set
The day rate does not include the later drawing. After the visit the studio sends a quote for the note, usually well below a full brief, and waits for acceptance before drawing.
The families of figures the studio commonly draws are listed in the indicator atlas. Rates for the other commissions sit on the rate sheet.
