The BIM Advantage

One of the major benefits of adopting the Building Information Modelling technology is simulating the construction process to minimize constructability issues on site. The potential clashes which are going to be there on site are predicted and the coordinated model is used to generate the drawings. This process of coordinating all the services and civil components in a 3D environment before generating the shop drawings adds a lot of value to the process of drawing generation and makes it integrated and devoid of coordination issues or human errors generated due to drafting.

Design Drawings

Techture provides design drawings for a comprehensive and coordinated view of the project, incorporating architectural, structural, and MEP systems, allowing stakeholders to visualize and understand the design in a more realistic and immersive manner. Here at Techture, we have adopted BIM processes to give the project an advantage over other traditional 2D drawing generation processes in the early stages of the project because the coordination process is carried out before the generation of design drawings and all visible and invisible clashes are eliminated.

Shop Drawings

Here at Techture, we help provide precise information and instructions for manufacturers, suppliers, contractors, and subcontractors involved in the construction process by generating Shop drawings which helps ensure accurate manufacturing, efficient installation, and adherence to project specifications. Shop drawings refer to detailed, highly specific drawings that are created for the fabrication, assembly, and installation of building components.

Coordinated Shop Drawing

Shop drawings generated at Techture are  given for the installers to work on-site and are fully completed with interdisciplinary coordination. By avoiding conflicts during installation and reducing issues on site, this has the benefit of efficient installation with quicker turnover times. By integrating MEP services with architectural and structural services, coordinated service drawings (CSD) are created. We make sure that these services don't physically or functionally hinder one another. These are completed while closely complying to numerous international standards and the Client's needs / specifications.

The shop drawings at the execution phase benefit specifically from the BIM process as all the changes that take place during the construction process are incorporated in the model to analyse any new clashes occuring due to the changes made and coordinating the same if needed. This continuous process makes the Shop Drawings generated from the BIM model immune to any major constructability issues. Also, the benefits of BIM extend with the provisions of centralized location, dynamic changes and enhanced productivity as described above.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are Shop Drawings?

Shop drawings, vital for contractors and fabricators, interpret design intent and guide manufacturing and installation. Generated post-contract signing, these detailed documents include component identification, interference details, and coordinates for precise site placement. They ensure adherence to industry standards and codes. Shop drawings cover diverse elements from beams to equipment, offering clarity through section views and notes on changes. Each subcontractor creates their set, contributing to seamless coordination. Key details, like project information and fabrication standards, are presented in a title block. These documents, more detailed than Issued for Construction (IFC) drawings, play a pivotal role in achieving accurate construction outcomes.

What is included in shop drawing services?

Shop Drawing Services encompass detailed, customized drawings created by contractors or fabricators, illustrating how specific components will be manufactured and installed. These drawings provide a clear visual representation of design intent, materials, and dimensions, aiding in the construction process.

Why are Shop Drawings important?

Shop drawings are important for several reasons:

  • Detail and Specifics: Shop drawings provide in-depth details about the fabrication, assembly, and installation of components.
  • Coordination Tool: They aid in coordinating different trades and identifying potential clashes early on.
  • Verification of Intent: Shop drawings verify that the contractor's interpretation aligns with the design intent.
