Shop drawings (also known as fabrication drawings) are detailed plans that translate design intent. They provide fabricators with the information necessary to manufacture, fabricate, assemble and install all the components of a structure. This includes materials and dimensions required, as well as explanations for assembly, installation and erection. In general, engineers, steel detailers, steel modelers and fabricators are responsible for creating shop drawings.
