Shop drawings are detailed drawings or diagrams that provide specific information required for the fabrication, assembly, and installation of various components in a construction project. These drawings are typically derived from the Building Information Model (BIM) and are essential for ensuring that the construction is carried out accurately according to the design.

TheShop drawings include precise dimensions, materials, and specifications necessary for the fabrication of components such as steel beams, precast concrete elements, ductwork, piping, and electrical systems.
These instructions ensure that components are manufactured correctly and meet the design requirements.
The drawings provide detailed assembly instructions, showing how individual parts are to be assembled on-site. This can include connection details, welds, bolt locations, and other assembly specifics.
They may also include exploded views or isometric drawings to better illustrate complex assemblies.
Shop drawings must be coordinated with other trades to ensure that all building systems fit together without clashes. This coordination is often facilitated by BIM, where different systems (MEPF, structural, architectural) are integrated into a single model.
The drawings are reviewed and approved by architects, engineers, and contractors to ensure compatibility and accuracy.
Shop drawings must comply with relevant building codes, standards, and project specifications. They are often reviewed for compliance before being finalized.
They also include details like tolerances, finishes, and any special installation requirements.
Once approved, shop drawings are used by contractors and fabricators on-site to guide the construction and installation process.
They serve as a critical reference during the construction phase, helping to prevent errors and ensuring that the installation aligns with the design intent.
Shop drawings go through a rigorous review and approval process, where they are checked for accuracy, completeness, and compliance with the design. They are often revised based on feedback before final approval.
This process involves collaboration among designers, engineers, contractors, and fabricators.
The LOD 400 model can be used to create as-built drawings that reflect the final construction, including any modifications made during the construction process.
Letzbim has expertise in generating high quality rendered outputs from BIM models which can be used for making financial decisions as well as for marketing purposes. These renders are created through engineered models which are based on the design inputs and therefore are much more accurate than any artist's representation.
Letzbim specializes in providing Virtual reality and augmented reality solutions through the BIM model where the mode can be used as an effective tool to navigate around the building, feel it in real scale using new age tools like oculus rift and freeze design options based on these navigable models.
The real time rendering outputs given by Letzbim are a great help in taking design decisions, for example the interiors of any rooms including the finishes and materials. Clients can take decide which flooring and wallpaper to choose in their living room by putting them on the model and seeing them in real time along with cost implications.
Letzbim has become one of the leading BIM solutions companies because of its innovative approach, OEM partnerships, and Customer-centric approach that never compromises on Quality.
