We provide Shop Drawings for Contractors, Manufacturers & Fabricators
What are Shop Drawings?
Shop Drawings mainly required prefabricated parts/components. The drawings and specifications offered by architects and engineers are top-level drawings. They show the general design of major components with limited detail. One good not fabricate, manufacture, assemble or install from these drawings. We built drawings and generate an exact construction process by embracing the latest technology.
The shop drawings offer the manufacturer’s or the contractor’s drawn version of the information shown in the construction documents.
The shop drawing shows typically detailed construction documents. It is drawn to explain the fabrication & installation of the items to the manufacturer’s production crew or contractor’s installation crews. The construction drawings come with one-stop solutions for all your shop and fabrication drawings.
The style of the shop drawing is different from that of the architect’s drawing. The shop drawing’s primary emphasis is on the particular product or installation. It excludes notation concerning other products and installations unless integration with the subject product is necessary.
Shop drawings use the data by architects & engineers in conjunction with the required standards. It translates the information that Contractors, Manufacturers & Fabricators can use. It produces the components, assembles them and installs on-site construction projects. The shop drawings contain more data than the architects/engineers drawing.
Shop Drawings are usually required in the Product industry for:
- Elevators
- Structural Steel Trusses
- Windows
- Cabinets
- Air Handling Units
Shop Drawings are also required for the MEP trades in construction, such as:
- Ductwork
- Piping
- Plumbing
- Fire Alarm
- Electrical
- AV
- Public Health

Shop drawings are required, in various forms, depending upon the practice of the architect and engineer. The specification may require a specific number of copies. Our shop drawings offer the best design 2d drawings, including constructions project that helps in availing maximum benefits with reducing fabrication reworks. An example distribution of the completed & corrected shop drawings includes the:
