Different Types of Shop Drawings

• Lets 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

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

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.
