SHOP DRAWINGS

April 18, 2025

Shop drawings are developed to clarify the architectural as drawn design intent to actual materials and methods being proposed for the panel installation. Varied levels of detail on drawings can be provided (details, panel layouts, panel sizes, trim details)and should be reviewed in advance to determine project teams anticipated level of detail. Regardless of information being provided on drawings, it is ultimately the responsibility of others in the construction teams to review and approve all information on the provided shop drawings. 

“Shop drawings are the bridge between the architectural drawings and the actual installation methods” – Phil Dorenkott
