Why Shop Drawings are needed in Construction Services?
Shop drawings are basically a set of drawings that are created for describing any pre-fabricated components in detail. It is one of the significant parts of construction development processes. In the aspect of Architectural, Structural, BIM, MEP and Mechanical services, shop 2D drawing plays a very important role in making highly precise design of the pre-fabricated objects and its related components, for example, steel structures, elevators, columns, trusses, beams, windows, etc. Tesla CAD Solutions delivers high-end and cost-efficient CAD shop drawings services in Australia.
From a shop CAD drawing you can get in-depth understandings of the construction mechanism of an entire pre-fabricated object. It also provides you detailed information about the installation process of each internal part of an object. A proper shop drawings set includes comprehensive dimensional details of each component, material information, color, codes, installation process detail, etc. In a shop 2D drawing you can represent its elevation view as well as its other types of section views. It can be prepared by Manufacturers, Contractors, Builders, Architects, Engineers, Fabricators, Designers and Drafters.
Shop CAD drawings are provided to contractors with comprehensive drawing information for assuring them that the all the elements included within the shop drawings have been designed appropriately. Before proceeding to perform its preparation, Designers as well as other Experts need to consider various possible situations, i.e.
- Whether all required items which will be used for creating the shop 2D drawings are available or not
- Who will make the drawings and how many persons is needed to be allocated for performing this task
- How much time will be required to prepare a shop CAD drawing
Designers verify the above facts well in advance, because, during product fabrications or building constructions, if any fault remains in shop drawings, it can create severe faults within the end products or final buildings.
Shop 2D drawings are generally created by manufacturers or contractors. Once the drawing preparation is completed, it is sent to the concerned authorities like Engineers, Architects, clients, etc. for official approval and after that the actual fabrication or construction of a product or building starts.
Different types of Shop Drawings that are used in Construction Industry are:
Architectural millwork shop drawings: These drawings are created for different types of millworks such as windows, doors, tables, chairs, etc.
Structural shop drawings: These drawings are prepared for different types of structural members and steel structures like column, joist, beam, trusses, screw, etc. Tesla CAD Solutions provides best shop drawings for Structural steel detailing services efficiently.
MEP shop drawings: Plumbing, Electrical and Mechanical HVAC shop drawings are developed for representing different types of MEP system along with their associated internal components in detail, for example, heating and cooling system, fire protection system, water supply system, rain water and storm water drainage system, etc.
BIM shop drawings: These drawings are created for different types of construction components like BIM Structural components (for example, Anchor bolts, steel braces, etc.), Architectural components (table, doors, etc.) and MEP components (e.g. fire protection system, heating and cooling system, etc.).
Mechanical shop drawings: These drawings are made for various mechanical products, machines, tools and equipments such as turbine, gearbox, pump, compressor, pressure vessel, cooling tower, etc.
