Shop Drawings

Published February 2000

Detailed drawings prepared by the contractor or subcontractor to show the exact configuration of an item or assembly proposed for use on the project and how it fits into the surrounding construction. Shop drawings are reviewed by the architect (and consulting engineer, where appropriate) for overall conformance to the specifications and design intent of the contract documents. It is the contractor's duty to verify all critical dimensions at the site and to confirm that the item or assembly can be installed as shown in the shop drawings.
