Challenges Faced While Preparing Shop Drawing
Shop Drawing involves people of
different disciplines right from structural engineer, architect to fabricators,
steel detailers as well as erection team. Every participant holds a different
view for the uses of shop drawing and shares the liabilities in the process.
The shop drawing review procedure generally involves the examination of the
participants performing different actions.
The fabricator observes closely each
and every action related to the steel work for deciding further proceeding with
shop drawings. The EOR or the architect might approve, ask for resubmission and
revision or totally reject the drawings after getting it reviewed.
