Our services of providing BIM shop drawings involve taking coordinated BIM models as well as approved designs and turning them into technical drawings which the contractors and fabricators can make use of for fabrication, assembly, and installation purposes. The drawings will consist of information regarding dimensions, materials, connections, and installation. It is important to note that the difference between design drawings and shop drawings is that whereas the former gives an indication of design intent, the latter shows the way in which each component will be fabricated and installed. Preparing these drawings in Autodesk Revit enables us to coordinate the trades before we start on-site.
What Are BIM Shop Drawing Services?
BIM shop drawings are those where coordinated BIM models and design information get converted to specific drawings related to particular trades in the fabrication and installation process. Such drawings consist of dimensioning and materials for connection along with installation details of the architecture, structure and MEP systems. Our drawings are prepared using Autodesk Revit.
Components of BIM Shop Drawings
- Detailed Geometry - Depict component details, dimensions and construction details.
- Trade Coordination - Coordination of architectural, structural and MEP details.
- Fabrication Information - Include details needed for the manufacturing and assembly process.
- Installation Details: Support site teams through layouts, sections and installation details.
- Drawing Review – Include project-specific comments and submission of required drawings.
