Default Making a Three piece wing from a One piece wing

Hi folks
Looking at my next project which is a ZN line Synergy which has a one piece wing.
Because of space and transporting constraints I am thinking about making the wing into a three piece unit.
Ie a centre panel attached to the plane in the normal way with two outer panel plugged into it.
The principal problem I can see is boring the hole for the wing tube.
If it was a two piece wing plugged into a fuselage i can be out by a millimter or so with no big problem.
However making it three piece means it has to be exact.

Has anyone ever attempted this, I know Probuild Uk have done it for a client however they wont tell me the secret. Yes I had the brass neck to ask when i was putting in an order.

So Has anyone done this themselves, how successfull was it and how about telling this poor boy from the country the secret.
