When it comes to electrical and mechanical shop/installation drawings, VEC delivers top-notch solutions. Our team of BIM and VDC experts provides high-quality documentation tailored to your specific requirements. With years of construction experience, we understand the importance of accuracy, precision, and attention to detail in your project design.

What Do Shop/Installation Drawings Entail?

Shop/installation drawings refer to technical documentation provided by professionals in the AEC industry. These drawings are created to guide the installation or construction process of various structures, equipment, or systems.

Shop drawings contain detailed and specific information about component fabrication, assembly, and installation within a construction project. Contractors, suppliers, or manufacturers typically create them to show how their specific products or systems will be installed or integrated into the overall project. Shop drawings often include detailed dimensions, material specifications, assembly instructions, and any necessary information for installation.

Installation drawings focus on positioning and installing various components or systems within a construction project. They provide precise details on the location, alignment, and connections of equipment, piping, electrical systems, HVAC systems, or structural components. These drawings are essential for contractors and installers to ensure accurate and efficient installation of the specified components.

Both shop and installation drawings ensure the construction or installation process goes smoothly in alignment with the project's design and specifications. They help identify potential clashes, conflicts, or coordination issues before the installation begins, allowing for timely adjustments and modifications.
