Describe the purpose and scope of a shop drawing.

What will be an ideal response?


A shop drawing gives precise directives for the fabrication of certain components such as structural steel work, concrete reinforcing, or pre-cast concrete components. It is drawn to explain the fabrication and sometimes installation procedures of the items to the manufacturer's production crew or contractor's installation crews. Shop drawings are substantially different from architectural drawings in style and content, including manufacturing conventions, and special fabrication instructions. They are generated by the manufacturer of the material, reviewed by the contractor, and submitted to the architect for final approval.
