What Are Structural Shop Drawings?
Structural shop drawings are detailed construction documents developed from the approved structural design and project requirements.
They provide the information required by contractors and site teams to accurately execute structural works, including dimensions, reinforcement, member information, sections, details, schedules, and fabrication requirements.
At AL-Handasa Structures, our shop drawings are developed with an engineering-based approach, focusing on accuracy, coordination, clarity, and constructability.
