In the field of building construction, competition is increasing day by day. As a result of that, innovation in constructing a building has become one of the major concerns. Various issues are there in building construction ranging from structural design, steel detailing to structural drawings. Shop drawings are one of the most important among those. Shop drawings can be defined as pictorial representation of various building components that are to be used in construction and are prepared by structural engineers. These building components can vary as per requirements of builders/contractors. They are cabinets, windows, elevators, doors etc. Some important aspects while preparing shop drawings are: †Elevations †Longitudinal Sections †Measurements/Dimensions Shop drawings give more information about elevations and sectional views. This plays an important part in construction industries. According to these views and elevations, builders can have an exact idea of how the shop is going to be developed. Here what amount of building components should be used and what dimensions to take is very well explained. Structural engineers/Professional shop drawing engineers prepare these shop drawings. As the competition is getting tougher, latest technologies and tools are rising in a huge amount. So these structural engineers need to be more active and they must update themselves to withstand this competition by constantly learning new technologies and methodologies. Also shop drawings should follow international standards for building construction. Structural engineers should be aware of every guideline for the same. Shop drawings prepared according to these international standards help these builders/contractors to save their precious time and money. Also helps their business to reach a new height of success in building construction industry.
