The construction industry has developed so far from the early history of mankind to the modern world. Man has done wonders with his architectural creations.The tall skyscrapers, beautiful and magnificent buildings, wonderful towers, bridges, buildings, restaurants, underground constructions and many more are witnesses to the rapid development in this field.
The success of any building construction depends on its planning. Planning involves drawings. Entire creation of the construction is in the drawings.These drawings, according to the purpose and stage, vary. Shop drawing is one such type of drawings which were developed by contractors, suppliers, manufacturers and fabricators. These are prefabricated drawings almost like ready-made creations. They can be used for additional attachments or installations in a construction.
How is the shop drawing produced?
• It is produced according to the requirement of the contractors or manufacturer
• Details are more in depth than in construction drawings.
• It contains installation and fabrication details of an item
• It is very much different from an architect’s drawing with a unique style of its own.
• It emphasizes on a particular type of installation. There will not be detailed on other products.
• It usually refers diagrams, cut sheets, illustrations, schedules and information required by the supplier.
• It contains a complete explanation about how the work must be proceeded further
• The professionals working in very large construction projects will not find time for all these drawings.
• This shop drawing minimizes liability and helps in smooth work flow. Hence it must be understood, reviewed and approved.
