Shop drawing drafting

Precast panel and structural steel shop drawings, drafted to your engineer's design and returned for their review and approval. The design stays with your engineer: we draw it up for the factory and the site.

How it is priced

Every job is quoted in writing from your drawings or brief before any work starts. The quote is a fixed price in Australian dollars, with the scope and the files you receive, and the delivery date is agreed in the quote. There are no prices on this website because every job is different.

Steady work? A monthly arrangement has a fixed monthly fee, quoted for your volume.

Limits

  • Shop drawings are not for a building permit or certification.
  • Questions about the design go back to your engineer as a written list.

Questions

Who approves the shop drawings?

Your engineer. Shop drawings are drafted to their design and issued for their review. They are not used for fabrication until approved.

Do you draft steel as well as precast?
