Shop drawings that are ready to fabricate

Fabrication-ready shop drawings for steel, ductwork, pipework, precast, facades and joinery, with assemblies, part drawings, cut lists and bills of materials your workshop can build from.

What we draw

From design intent to workshop instructions

Design drawings show what the building should look like. Shop drawings show exactly how each piece is made: every size, hole, bend, weld and fixing. A mistake here doesn't stay on paper. It becomes a wasted part.

We prepare shop drawings from the design drawings and coordinated model, check them against the other trades, and work to your numbering, title blocks and fabrication standards. Submissions are tracked, so you always know which drawings are approved, with comments or still in review.

Fabricators and contractors use us to add detailing capacity on busy packages without hiring, and to keep the approval cycle moving.

Our process

From design to shop set in six steps

A careful workflow that turns design drawings into fabrication-ready instructions.

  1. 01

    Share your inputs

    Design drawings, models and specs.

  2. 02

    Scope & quote

    Trades, packages and dates agreed.

  3. 03

    Model & detail

    Shop model built at fabrication detail.

  4. 04

    Coordination

    Checked against other trades.

  5. 05

    Drawings

    Assemblies, parts and BoMs produced.

  6. 06

    Approval & issue

    Revised after review, issued to shop.

Our approach

Our detailers understand how steel, ductwork, pipework and joinery are actually made, so each drawing shows what the workshop needs and nothing it doesn't.

Quality checks

Every sheet is checked twice

Four checks every drawing passes before it is issued to you.

  • Scale and dimensions

    Checked against the brief, markups and written figures.

  • Layers and standards

    Layers, text, dimensions and blocks match your CAD standards.

  • Sheet set

    Title blocks, numbering, revisions and references all consistent.

  • Second check

    A separate reviewer signs off every sheet before issue.

Engagement model

Industry-standard BIM, steel detailing, CAD and fabrication platforms, depending on the trade and your workflow.

Yes. Shop models are checked against the coordinated building model before drawings are released.

Yes, directly from the shop model.

Yes. We revise drawings after engineer and architect comments and keep a submission log.

Yes. Shop drawings can be issued with your company title block and numbering.

It depends on the trade and size. We schedule packages around your fabrication and installation programme.

Files are shared only with the people working on your project, through secure transfer or your own platform. We sign NDAs on request and never reuse your drawings, models or data on other work.

Use whatever suits you: email, a file-sharing link or your own common data environment. Within a working day of receiving the package, we send a short list of questions so nothing is left to guesswork.
