Shop drawings are a set of drawings which provide the details of various components that help in the construction of a project. Shop drawings are prepared for pre-fabricated components to show how they should be manufactured, fabricated, assembled or installed. They are prepared by taking into consideration the design intent drawings and specifications developed by the project design teams. While construction drawings relate more to the building or structure or a sub-division as a whole, shop drawings are for various building components used.
The American Institute of Architects has defined shop drawings as diagrams, schedules, drawings, and other types of data prepared specifically by a distributor, supplier, manufacturer, subcontractor, or contractor to show some part of the work. Shop drawings are made with the help of high-end technologies ensure that engineers and planners are able to easily appreciate the details that need to be taken into consideration when planning and setting up a structure. Generally shop drawings are drawings created by an installer or manufacturer for a specific architectural or engineering task.

OUR SHOP DRAWING SERVICES
Our Shop Drawings / Fabrication Drawings include:
Modern day shop drawings or technical drawings are created using CAD software. Hand drawn technical drawings are not so common these days and this dying art has been reduced to quick sketching for conveying ideas and concepts quickly. Shop Drawings will coordinate the right information to check proper installation on the job site.
Shop Drawings represent the initial design intent
Shop drawings are prepared by contractors, subcontractors, suppliers, manufacturers or fabricators. They generally relate to pre-fabricated components, showing how they should be manufactured or installed. They take design intent drawings and specifications prepared by the project design team and develop them to show in detail how the component will actually be manufactured, fabricated, assembled or installed. Shop drawings might be prepared for components such as structural steel work, reinforcement, lifts, access platforms, building services equipment, appliances, ductwork, piping, plumbing, windows, cabinets, electrical and data layouts, fire protection, and so on.
They may be reviewed by the project design team prior to fabrication to verify that they comply with design drawings and specification and to ensure that different packages of work and components are properly coordinated. This means that they need to contain relevant information to enable this to be done, which might include the provision of samples for approval. However, this does not relieve the originator of the drawings from responsibility for their correct preparation.
Prior to fabrication, shop drawings must be developed for accurate manufacturing of steel structures. This helps the contractor to discover any deficiencies or faults ahead of time, allowing for timely corrective action. When fabrication work is done without shop drawings, difficulties frequently arise during erection that must be corrected in the field, resulting in untidy work.
Users of modern shop sketching tools can model the complete structure in 3D, allowing them to discover any overlapping elements. Once the 3D model has been built, these software tools will automatically generate the shop drawings for each member. This not only saves time but also reduces the possibility of human error in the compilation of fabrication drawings.
Shop drawings represent an elementary form of delegated design. The process involves contractors and suppliers who design the components for which they are responsible. If the project architect of a building had to design every single connection and interaction between systems and components, it would be an arduous process. Most architects do not have the skills to design to that level of detail and that would cause delays and frequent defects in design. Using shop drawings provide the contractor and the architect with an opportunity to review what the subcontractor or supplier intends to supply or construct before approving the fabrication or construction.
We offer HVAC Duct Shop Drawings, Steel Shop Drawings, & Millwork Shop Drawings
Increasingly, the preparation of shop drawings is outsourced where the supplier does not have the appropriate skills, software, hardware or resources necessary, or where they may be able to obtain lower rates or faster turnaround. However, this may not properly exploit the expertise of the suppler and places responsibility for preparing important design information with an organisation that is not contractually responsible for it and may not have the detailed knowledge necessary. The supplier should carefully check any shop drawings that are outsourced in this way.

What are the major differences between construction drawings and shop drawings?
The shop drawings show the original design and how it changed as the building was designed. While being built, they contain modifications made during the construction, just as a new building contains alterations during the design.
This can be done by adding or removing sections of existing walls, floors, ceilings, windows, doors and so on. These changes are referred to as “replacing” or "addition" to the old building. The building may also need to be re-designed for engineering in order to meet the requirements of the local building codes. In this scenario, a construction drawing is used to show the changes that have been made and how they will be accommodated in the finished structure. It captures all new changes and presents the new design intent.
Shop drawing submissions typically ramp up at project kickoff and slow down as construction progresses. Unlike construction drawings, they remain unchanged throughout. They depict the building’s original design intent and act as a single source of truth for all parties, reducing misunderstandings and mistakes during the build. Apart from the differences discussed here, there are several benefits of shop drawings.
The main reason that makes the shop drawings important in engineering projects is the fact that the Shop Drawings focus less on the design intent and instead put weightage on how the final product will be built.
We at URCADServices have worked on both construction drawing projects as well as shop drawing projects. Our team has vast experience in US based building codes and can assist you with your projects. Outsource shop drawings to URCADServices for cost effective and high quality services.

Guidelines for Productive Shop Drawings
Submissions of shop drawings often peak at the start of a project and then decline as construction advances. In contrast to building drawings, they are constant throughout. They serve as a single source of information for all parties and represent the building's original architectural purpose, preventing misunderstandings and errors throughout construction.
1. Finalizing the design intent before creating shop drawings.
Which shop drawings must be provided to consultants for evaluation should be specified in the project specifications. Shop drawings must be based on decisions made after carefully examining the contracts, drawings, and other specifications given by the designers. You will not get the second chance to make changes to the shop drawings once approved as shop drawings cannot be changed after they are created, so be sure to include all pertinent details before delegating their creation.
2. Shop drawings to serve the purpose for which they were created.
The site circumstances should be reflected in the shop drawings, together with any potential differences between those conditions and the construction drawings. This is a crucial check to make sure that anything made off-site or built on-site complies with the design intent specified in the contract documents / construction documents and that the general contractor and trades have a clear understanding of the project requirements.
Before submitting shop designs to the consultants, it is important that the contractor must always evaluate them. This cuts down on time wasted by contractors reviewing drawings that will be rejected right away.
One major thing to keep in mind is to thoroughly reviewing the shop drawings. Any shop drawings that are merely exact replicas of consultant drawings should also be discarded. This illustrates how poorly the subcontractor has considered how their system or product fits into the broader design and construction. The understanding of the project and design intent is something consultants look for in subcontractors and crafts.
