SHOP DRAWINGS
Shop drawings translate the design documents into trade-level fabrication and installation details. Our MEP/FP engineers review HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and fire protection shop drawings and submittals for alignment with design intent, applicable codes, equipment schedules, and coordination requirements. We provide clear markups and comments to resolve conflicts, confirm clearances, verify control sequences and power requirements, and ensure that penetrations, supports, seismic bracing, and life-safety interfaces are properly detailed for permitting, inspection, and long-term operation.
Key Features
Engineer review and markup of MEP/FP shop drawings to confirm design intent, code compliance, and coordinated installation before fabrication and fieldwork.
Trade Shop Drawing Review & Markups
Review HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and fire protection shop drawings and product data for compliance with the design documents, governing codes, and project specifications; provide consolidated markups that clarify routing, clearances, connection details, and required deviations.
Coordination & Clash Resolution Support
Identify inter-trade conflicts between ducts, piping, conduit, and fire protection mains; document required adjustments, confirm maintainable access to valves and equipment, and support RFIs to keep fabrication models and coordinated ceiling/shaft layouts aligned with field constraints.
Approval Tracking & Installation Readiness
Provide approval status and resolution notes for each shop drawing package so procurement and installation can proceed with vetted information; verify critical interfaces such as power feeds, condensate/drain connections, sprinkler heads at ceilings, and equipment service clearances before field installation.
Contractors
Trade contractors preparing fabrication and installation drawings.
Owners & Developers
Projects requiring disciplined coordination and documentation.
General Contractor / Construction Manager
Relies on engineer-reviewed shop drawing markups to release materials for fabrication, sequence installation, and avoid schedule impacts caused by late coordination changes or rejected submittals.
MEP/FP Trade Contractors (HVAC, Plumbing, Electrical, Fire Protection)
Uses coordination comments and clash-resolution direction to adjust routing, supports, and connection details so prefabrication matches design intent and maintains access, clearances, and code-required separations.
Owner / Facilities Team and Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ)
Depends on shop drawing review to confirm life-safety interfaces, equipment access, and documentation quality that supports permitting, inspections, commissioning, and maintainable operation after turnover.
Who Needs This
Client Benefits
Fewer Field Conflicts and Rework
Early verification of routing, clearances, and inter-trade interfaces reduces clashes discovered in ceilings and shafts, limiting change orders and protecting finishes by resolving issues before installation.
Faster Procurement and Installation Decisions
Clear, consolidated engineer markups help contractors finalize equipment selections and connection requirements sooner, supporting timely submittal approval, fabrication release, and predictable construction sequencing.
Code-Compliant, Maintainable Systems at Turnover
Shop drawing review confirms life-safety details, required separations, and service access so the installed MEP/FP systems pass inspection and remain maintainable for operations, commissioning, and future modifications.
