BIM Electrical Shop Drawings – A Must for Construction

Construction professionals are often in need of Electrical shop drawings. These are mostly required for material ordering, installation and fabrication. The construction drawings help in pre-fabricating electrical assemblies, conduit, cable trays and other elements. Several information are included in the drawings including equipment tags and legend, rating & dimension, circuit reference, mounting height, service elevation, access clearance, expansion joints and more.


Now, how the shop drawings get created? Let’s have a look at the steps of BIM Shop drawing creation:

·          Shop drawings get generated from BIM Models

·         Changes in model are automatically reflected in shop drawings

·         Shop Drawings are shown in detail including pull boxes, single line hatches

·         Complete  cable schedule is shown in containment drawings

·         Work drawings of Builders generate from coordinated model containing opening & sleeve details & composite service drawings

·         Composite Service drawings facilitate viewing of all services in single drawing

Electrical Shop Drawings for various projects include:

·         Layout of Light –Egress, Fixture, Occupancy Sensor, Emergency Lighting

·         Power Plan Layout – Receptacle/JB for Microwaves, Refrigerator, Freezer, Cabinet Heater

·         Electrical Schematic, Lighting Plan & Schedules

·         Underground Utility Services

·         Wiring Diagram Implementing Revit

·         Trunking Layout

·          Fire Alarm Drawing

Generate construction drawings from BIM Model to get comprehensive electrical drawings, depicting circuit component with technical info. The drawings offer comprehensive information about construction and help constructional professionals to get the right information about electrical circuits.
