In this jumble of visual representations, construction drawings and <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">shop drawings <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">are two of the closest and most commonly confused figures.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Both construction and <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">shop drawings<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">are invaluable to building projects. Both are implemented in the design phase itself. Yet, there are some subtle differences that clearly separate the two. Let us start with construction drawings.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Construction Drawings<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Construction drawings are drawings that are created by <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">construction designers<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, exclusively in use during the actual construction process.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As Is<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">They are exact graphical representations of what will be constructed.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Revisions<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Construction drawings contain all revisions from inception to present. Changes are generally drawn over or modified in the original diagram itself.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Legal<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Such drawings need to be met with approval by governmental regulatory authorities. As such, these drawing are legally binding and included in the construction contracts between the client and contractor.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Specifications<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Focusing heavily on building details as a whole, construction drawings generally include specifications of materials and techniques to be used as well as standards that need to be adhered to.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dimensions<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Building dimensions are a major part of construction drawings, in addition to the placement of components and detailing of the same.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Scaled<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These drawings are drawn to scale. Originally drawn by hand, construction drawings have now found a digital medium in <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3D design software<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">through the use of Computer Aided Design (CAD).<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Examples<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Construction drawing may include details on elevations, floor plans and electrical and plumbing systems.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">BIM Integration<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By using\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Building Information Modeling <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">(BIM),\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">construction drawings can now be built using a Virtual Construction Model or VCM, which provides contractors with an exact to scale, 1:1 model of what is to be built. These models are referred to directly for construction steps.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>Shop Drawings<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shop drawings are the very initial plans for the project in question, generally drawn up by contractors, manufacturer, suppliers, etc.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Prefabrication<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Used in initial steps of construction, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">shop drawings <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">are used to quickly start prefabrication of components, to save time while the rest of the design is being worked upon.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Style<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shop drawings used to be drawn exclusively by hand.
