Turning Ideas into Clear, Buildable Plans
Behind every successful project is a set of shop drawings that help teams move forward with clarity and confidence. While often working in the background, these detailed documents play a vital role in turning designs into practical, buildable outcomes.
So, what are shop drawings really about?
Shop drawings aren’t just technical sketches—they’re working documents that guide how parts of a project are actually made and installed. They include specific details like dimensions, materials, joints, and finishes, and are tailored to the needs of fabricators, contractors, and site teams.
Why do they matter?
Without shop drawings, even the best design can become confusing when it reaches the field. These drawings reduce guesswork, improve accuracy, and help avoid delays by making sure everyone—from design teams to installers—understands exactly what needs to happen.
Different types of shop drawings
Depending on the project, shop drawing services may include:
Architectural Drawings: Showing finishes, fixtures, and layouts in real detail.
Structural Drawings: Focused on steel frameworks, reinforcements, and connections.
MEP Drawings: Covering mechanical, electrical, and plumbing routes—coordinated to prevent clashes.
Fabrication Drawings: Built specifically for workshops, helping with cutting, assembling, and placing materials onsite.
