What is a shop drawing set?

A shop drawing set is a collection of detailed drawings and diagrams created by contractors, fabricators, or manufacturers to illustrate how a design will be constructed or fabricated. Shop drawing sets include dimensions, materials, and technical details that are not typically included in architectural or engineering drawings. They are used to communicate specific details of a project to the contractor or sub-contractor responsible for manufacturing or constructing it. Shop drawing sets are critical in ensuring that the design can be effectively executed and that all parties involved in the construction process are on the same page.
