Meticulously

adverb/muh-TIK-yuh-luss-lee/

To do something meticulously is to do it with great care and attention to every detail.

The model plane was meticulously built over many careful weekends.

Meticulous people almost seem to 'meter' every tiny detail — measuring carefully as they go.

Use to praise careful, detailed work; it is stronger than simply 'carefully'.
