Electrical shop drawings are often created for fabrication, material ordering and installation. Construction shop drawings help to pre-fabricate cable trays, electrical assemblies, conduit and several other elements. The drawings contain various information including tags & legend of equipment, rating & dimension, network loop, circuit reference, mounting heights, service elevation, access clearance, expansion joints and more.

The fabrication drawings generated from the 3D BIM Model help you to make the right on-site as well as off-site prefabrication. Piping systems get pre-fabricated in sections called spools aiding faster assembly. The spool drawings provide information required by fabrication for the manufacturing and assembly of spool in the perfect way.

Electrical Project Shop Drawings

Shop drawings required for the electrical projects include:

· Lighting & Power Layouts

· Power Equipment

· Termination Diagram

· Electrical Schematic

· Underground Utility Services

· Cable Routing

· Lighting Protection & Earthing Layout

· Fire Alarm Drawings

Penetration Drawings for Electrical Trade

· Used by contractors for creating wall openings prior to installation of cable trays & conduits

· Drawings are developed from coordinated Electrical model, showing necessary views with proper clearance in order that they are easily comprehensible on construction site

Generating Construction Drawing from BIM Models

· Construction drawings are automatically generated from BIM models representing comprehensive electronic drawings, illustrating each component in a route with technical info and showing the process in which the component is wired into the circuit.

· Detailed construction drawings offer comprehensive info about a circuit to construction professionals & simultaneously help to seek the right info for troubleshooting of electrical circuits

Contact BIM service provider for electrical trade and get fixture, conduit location & tray layouts with reference to architectural walls. This will help you to locate electrical members easily. You may seek construction documentation service to get detailed drawings of sequential data about construction process. In addition, it will help you to involve all project stakeholders such as contractors, builders and more to stay updated with relevant information. So get in touch with BIM service provider to avail specialized construction documentation and coordinated drawings.
