What Are Mechanical Shop Drawings?
Mechanical shop drawings are detailed, contractor-ready drawings that show exactly how HVAC and mechanical systems will be fabricated and installed in the field.
These drawings include:
- Ductwork layouts
- Mechanical piping layouts
- Equipment connection details
- Dimensions and elevations
- Hanger and support locations
- Sleeve and penetration layouts
- Sections and elevations
- Valve and damper locations
- Access and maintenance clearances
- Bill of materials (if required)
All shop drawings are developed using approved submittals, project specifications, and manufacturer data to ensure full compliance with contract requirements.
They are the drawings your fabricators, installers, foremen, and inspectors rely on.
