A detailed drawing made by a subcontractor showing exactly how they plan to fabricate or install their portion of the work.
A shop drawing is a detailed fabrication or installation drawing prepared by a subcontractor, manufacturer, or supplier to show how they will manufacture, fabricate, or install a specific portion of the work. Shop drawings are submitted to the architect or engineer for review and approval before fabrication or installation. They do not create additional obligations for the design professional but verify conformance with the design intent.
The structural steel fabricator submitted shop drawings for all moment connections 12 weeks before the planned steel erection start date.
