every construction project?

What Are Steel Shop Drawings ?
Steel shop drawings can be described as
architectural drawings. Generally, these drawings
are assigned by the concerned architect with an
intention to convey his ideas, concepts, and
details of constructions along with other
required specifications of the project.

Over the period, the steel detailer role has
undergone several changes and have become even
more complex today. Since the role is not limited
to a certain aspect, the detailer has to
consistently sharpen the skills and knowledge to
reach the level of perfection.
On the top of that, with the help of CAD software
and 3D models, providing something accurately
isnt a tough task anymore.

Importance of Steel Shop Drawings
5
Sometimes, with an intention to finish the
process of project construction, architects may
overlook the project detailing methodology
available on the drawing. This entire thing may
lead to an unexpected delay in the process of
construction along with an undesirable loss of
money because of fewer instructions defined
earlier.
In this way, an architect or an engineer would
have to spend far more time on the site than
usual, just to explain the specifications
required for accurate execution.
Keeping these hassles in mind, the steel shop
drawings importance facilitates the smooth
construction process execution on the real-time
site. Once these drawings have been acquired,
nothing else seems to be required to make the
execution proper.

When considering the importance of these drawings
in the construction project, it is necessary that
you must also keep in mind its various uses. So,
here is how such drawings are beneficial in a
construction site

Helps Knowing the Changes
8
When it is about real-life construction projects,
it becomes a bit difficult to keep track of the
original drawing to draw accurate results and
develop a better structure. During construction,
changes or alterations remain inevitable.
However, with a steel shop drawing, such changes
reduce to a great extent. Since these drawings
contain notes in context with every different or
change that must be done on the site. Hence, it
becomes quite easier for the executor to do the
job.
9
Acts as A Communication Link
10
Apart from everything else, steel shop drawings
play a vital role in connecting prominent
professionals in the project, such as architects,
engineers, fabricators, contractors, and more.
Since these professionals are, collectively or
individually, responsible for the accuracy level
of different stages, they must know how to be
specific with the execution.
11
Specification of Details
12
Steel shop drawings are meant to specify every
little detail of a component or an individual
piece of steel. These detailing stakes include
beams, joists, columns, braces, trusses, and
more. Such drawings include everything that a
steel fabricator would have to work upon.
Furthermore, these drawings include several other
essential details, such as the size of the
component, material to be used and how much,
specifications of the surface, dimensions,
bolting, welding, and painting details along with
everything else related to the component
fabrication
Therefore, with every important detail in place,
it becomes easier for the executor to plan and
fabricate accordingly, without committing a lot
of mistakes that may hamper the outcome.
13
Accuracy Is Important in Construction
14
Buildings are vulnerable to natural calamities,
like earthquake and more. Therefore, even if the
constructor commits a small mistake while
developing the project, it may lead to the
unwanted collapse of the entire building. Hence,
accuracy is far more important than one can think.
Now, when it becomes difficult to guide or direct
the executor verbally, these steel shop drawings
come into the play. Since they contain every kind
of important information, right from the material
that should be used to how it should be used, the
accuracy level is always high with these drawings
in hand.
Therefore, avoiding mistakes become easier.
