  1. A Guide to Different Types of Shop Drawings

  2. What is the purpose of Shop Drawings in Construction?

  3. Different Types of Shop Drawings • Let’s take a look at the different types of shop drawings and their roles in bringing your project to life. • Architectural Shop Drawings • Structural Shop Drawings  • MEP Shop Drawings • Façade Shop Drawings

  4. Architectural Shop Drawings • Architectural shop drawings are important for general contractors, interior contractors, millwork fabricators and civil contractors for accurate fabrication & construction tasks. • Types of Architectural Shop Drawings: • Millwork • Modular • Masonry • Interior

  5. Structural Shop Drawings • Structural shop drawings are vital for the construction phase of a project and include structural layouts, elevations, sections & details of various structural systems. • Types of Structural Shop Drawings: • Precast • Steel fabrication • Rebar • Modular

  6. MEP Shop Drawings • MEP shop drawings ensure coordination and clash resolution before actual on-site construction. They aid different parties providing comprehensive details for fabrication and installation of components, and making informed decisions. • Types of MEP shop drawings: • Duct • Mechanical pipe • Plumbing • Medical gas • Electrical • Builders work • Hanger layout

  7. Façade Shop Drawings • Facade shop drawings represent the geometry, location, connections and exterior building design details. The main purpose is to provide guidelines for fabrication, assembly and erection of façade systems. • Types of Façade Shop Drawings: • Curtain wall • Glazing • Door & Window • Handrail • Glass • Storefront

  8. How are shop drawings created through BIM? • 1. Modeling to Data: BIM model acts as a detailed virtual replica of your building, containing data on every element, from walls and windows to pipes and beams. This data includes precise dimensions, material properties, relationships between elements, and even construction sequencing information. • 2. Extracting the Blueprint: Shop drawings ac as specialized lenses focusing on specific components within the BIM model. Using dedicated software tools, designers and engineers "extract" this data for specific elements like steel beams, precast panels, or custom millwork. This extraction transforms the generic model data into the detailed specifications for fabrication and installation. • 3. Adding the Finishing Touches: While the BIM model provides the core data, shop drawings go a step further. They incorporate additional details like welding procedures for steel components, surface finishes for wood panels, or specific hardware requirements for cabinetry. These embellishments tailor the generic model data to the specific needs of each element's fabrication and installation. • 4. Collaboration and Automation: BIM shines in its collaborative capabilities. Shop drawings extracted from the model automatically update when any changes are made in the main BIM model. This ensures that stakeholders, from architects and engineers to fabricators and contractors, are working with the most up-to-date information, minimizing errors and rework. • 5. Accuracy and Efficiency: By leveraging the precision and consistency of the BIM model, shop drawings are inherently more accurate and reliable than traditional hand-drawn methods. This translates to reduced waste, fewer construction delays, and improved overall project efficiency.
