What It Is

What are shop drawings?

Shop drawings are the detailed drawings a trade contractor or fabricator builds from. They translate the design into exact, buildable instructions for a specific scope. Excelize produces BIM-based shop drawings for U.S. subcontractors and fabricators, coordinated to the construction model and detailed to your standards, across mechanical, plumbing, fire-protection, and structural trades.

Why It Matters

Why coordinated shop drawings matter

A shop drawing that is not coordinated to the construction model is rework waiting to happen. Material cut to a clash gets cut twice. Drawings generated from a coordinated model clear review faster and keep your shop and your crews ahead of the schedule.
