When it is used

Before construction starts

Shop drawings for each package go to the consultant for approval before work starts on site.

Repeated review cycles

Sheets taken from a coordinated model agree with each other, so there are fewer comments and resubmissions.

A large number of sheets

Sheets are issued in batches, to the submission dates the project sets.

Combined services

Services, ceilings and openings must agree on one sheet.

Common questions

What are shop drawings?

Shop drawings are detailed drawings that show how the approved design will be built on site: exact sizes, levels, routes and openings. The contractor prepares them, and the consultant approves them before work starts.

Can shop drawings be prepared in AutoCAD?

Yes, when the project requires it. We recommend sheets taken from a coordinated model, because the systems on them agree with each other.

We would be glad to study your project

To price the work we need the approved design for each package, the material submittals, the project title block and the submission dates. We confirm receipt and tell you when the offer will be ready.
