A1 Iron Works

A Shop Drawing is a drawing or set of drawings produced by the contractor, supplier, manufacturer, subcontractor, or fabricator. Shop drawings are typically required for pre-fabricated components. (Structural steel, trusses, pre-cast, windows, appliances, cabinets, air handling units, and mill-work.)

Also critical are the installation and coordination shop drawings of sheet metal duct-work, fire protection, and electrical. Shop drawings are not produced by architects and engineers under their contract with the owner. The shop drawing is the manufacturer’s or the contractor’s drawn version of information shown in the construction documents.

The shop drawing normally shows more detail than the construction documents. It is drawn to explain the fabrication and/or installation of the items to the manufacturer’s production crew or contractor's installation crews. The style of the shop drawing is usually very different from that of the architect’s drawing. The shop drawing’s primary emphasis is on the particular product or installation. It excludes notation concerning other products and installations, unless integration with the subject product is necessary. We deal with any and all aspects of the iron work industry.
