McLine Studios Shop Drawings Services

About

Today’s rapidly changing construction industry relies heavily upon excellent communication, accuracy and precise specifications of all drawing elements. A minor change in the details of drawings will cause major problems, including: increased costs of delay due to reworking or changing specifications; waste of materials due to incorrect fabrication orders; and problems coordinating the construction process on site after ordering materials based upon incorrect drawings. McLine Studios assists architects, general contractors and builders transition from design phase to construction by providing accurate, ‘fab ready’ construction documentation through the use of its shop drawing services.

What Are Shop Drawings?

Contractors, fabricators or specialists create detailed drawings called Shop Drawings. They focus on how an individual piece of equipment will be made and installed, unlike design drawings which are created by architects. Shop drawings show how big the equipment will be, what it’s made of, what the connection points will be, what the finish will be and how it will be installed. At McLine Studios, we see shop drawings as more than simply technical documents - they are also the way to communicate between design and construction, so that all parties involved are in agreement on the project.

Why Shop Drawings Matter

A lack of clear documentation or communication between departments creates many problems for the construction industry. When making decisions based on insufficient drawings, a contractor may encounter:

• Mistakes during construction,

• Rework or delay,

• No communication between different trades,

• Noncompliance with specifications,

• A lengthy approval process.

McLine Studios can help you resolve these issues by providing high-quality shop drawing services, including producing accurate, complete, and professionally organized drawings to allow for easy project progress.

Precision and Coordination

McLine Studios places substantial emphasis on coordination. Ensuring shop drawings correctly correspond to architectural, structural, and MEP drawings is vital to avoiding on-site confusion as a result of anything being incorrectly drawn. Each detail is confirmatively cross-checked to identify potential conflicts. At the end of the day, our aim is straightforward: provide unambiguous, buildable drawings that reduce construction risk.

Supporting Visualization and Presentation

Shop Drawings are predominantly based on technical data so oftentimes new construction projects also require visual documentation. Many clients will produce Shop Drawings and also combine them with 3D Architectural Rendering for their clients to have an understanding of how finished items will appear within real-world space. This is particularly useful when completing Interior Spaces, Custom Millwork and/or High-end Commercial Projects. 3D Interior Rendering can also help a client to make more rapid decisions during the approval process as Visualizing the Final Result with supporting Details allows easier and faster Communication to all parties involved in the process.
