The shop drawing is a drawing or collection of set of drawings, diagrams, illustrations, schedules, and other data or information specifically generated or assembled by the contractor, supplier, manufacturer, subcontractor, or fabricator to demonstrate some portion of the work for the approval of architect or engineer.

For an increasing number of them, this transition entails moving from two-dimensional (2D) drawings to three-dimensional (3D) digital modeling. As such, builders can greatly reduce the typical communication challenges they face coordinating projects among clients, engineers, architects, contractors, site crews, and other stakeholders.

Construction of wall, floor, and roof systems offsite has multiple advantages, including compressing the project schedules, reducing site labor and waste, improving consistency and quality control, and increasing safety for workers. Multiple materials can be pre-panelized to provide the best efficiencies and results.

Architects, MEP engineers, and structural engineers often independently create models during the design process. So once a design decision is made, architects and engineers can see the impact of the change in real-time. Clash detection has been around for some time. What are the benefits of BIM clash detection?

The structural engineer sizes the concrete column; the architect places it in the space. There is a code on the structural drawing that can be tracked to the schedule and the dimensions are noted. They both are confident to be following well established building-documenting practices.

Even experience in extensive design in academic context can provide only limited perspective in engineering decision making. Most lessons in engineering decision making come from the cases of histories of failures of structures, which itself are the results of a bad judgement, thus making us understand the pitfalls in conceptual design.

It''s a fairly common practice to create separate floors for structure and finishes. The structural "layer" of a floor may actually be modeled by the structural consultant, assuming the structural engineer we are working with uses Revit and isn''t working directly in the same model with us (architecture bias in this post).

Autodesk Raytracer is now used for all rendering functions so the option to select a rendering engine has been removed.

I particularly like how he separates "Architectural" drawing into three distinct categories. However, as an example, of where "electronic" is taking over for physical last year when I was the project architect and I had to send "sketches" to our structural engineer, what did I do?

For some reason BIM authors (architects, engineers, etc) think that because they create the initial BIM information they have the right to full control and to charge for the BIM model throughout the life of the building. The architect schedules doors, the hardware supplier adds to that schedule, they don’t create their own.

Architects and engineers define scope in plans and specifications but for construction estimating this scope is incomplete. Converting scope to quantities requires a solid understanding of math, drawing scales, swell and waste factors, plan reading, common construction practices, and conversion factors. Woolsey, MBA.
