Contract drawings, specification and approved submittals
Drawings the trade can build from.
Submittal-ready fabrication and installation drawings, coordinated against the model so what is drawn will physically fit.
Discipline shop, fabrication and installation drawings issued submittal-ready and coordinated against the federated model.
All BIM servicesDeliverables, stated before we start.
A shop drawing that has not been checked against the federated model is a rework order waiting to be issued. Every sheet is produced from coordinated geometry.
- Discipline shop and fabrication drawings to the specification
- Installation and setting-out drawings dimensioned from project grids
- Penetration, sleeve and builderswork opening drawings
- Submittal-ready sheet sets with revision clouds and change marks
- Coordination status against the federated model at time of issue
- As-built markup incorporation and final record drawings
What we need from you.
Scope gaps are cheaper to resolve before modelling than after. These are the inputs that set the programme and the price.

Shop drawings — common questions.
Do you handle the submittal review cycle?
We produce and revise to comment, tracking each revision against the reviewer's markup. Submission itself stays with the contractor of record.
Can you produce shop drawings without a model?
Yes, from contract drawings and site information. Where the trade interfaces are congested we will usually recommend modelling first, because it is cheaper than resolving the clash in the field.
What turnaround is realistic?
It depends on package size and coordination status. We commit to a per-package programme after reviewing the drawing register rather than quoting a generic figure.
Usually scoped alongside this.
Most packages touch more than one discipline. These are the services that most often sit next to shop drawings.
