MEP Shop Drawing Services

In Strand Co, we offer high-accuracy MEP shop drawing services that exclude vagueness, reduce rework, and effectively implement on-site. If you are building a commercial complex, hospital, or residential tower, we have detailed mechanical, electrical, and plumbing drawings customized for your construction, coordination, and compliance needs.

Why MEP Shop Drawings Matter

Precision is nonnegotiable in today’s fast-paced construction environment. Our shop drawings for Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing MEP services are essential in transitioning design intent into documentation that is buildable and coordinated. These drawings guarantee proper fitting of mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems without expensive clashes or delays. With our experience, you have clarity and speed from the start, and compliance too.

What Are MEP Shop Drawing Services?

MEP shop drawing services entail drawing of highly detailed construction-ready drawings denoting the installation of mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems.

These are far more than the usual design documents. Though design drawings explain the idea, MEP shop drawings with the actual dimensions, connection points, clearances, material specs, and installation details. – are about constructability.

If you’ve ever wondered “what is MEP drawings?” then here is the brief answer: MEP drawings are technical pictures that elaborate on every mechanical, electrical, and plumbing component necessary to give life to the systems of a building, detail, and securely.

Our MEP Shop Drawing Capabilities

Mechanical Shop Drawings

Our mechanical shop drawings illuminate equipment layouts, duct runs, fittings, and connections – the last thing you need to worry about with your HVAC and mechanical systems is being install-ready.

HVAC Shop Drawings

Our HVAC shop drawings ensure dimensionally accurate documents that feature duct sizes, routing, insulation, access panels, air terminals, and almost anything else, clash-free with architectural and structural components.

Plumbing Shop Drawings

Our plumbing shop drawings include pipe routing, fixture locations, connection types, slopes, and pipe sizes, ensuring correct installation and smooth inspections.

Electrical Shop Drawings

Our shop drawings for plumbing include pipe routing, fixture submittal, connection type, slopes, pipe sizes-correct installation, and smooth inspection.

Fire Protection Shop Drawings

Precise representation of sprinkler layouts, pipe sizing, valves, and fire safety equipment to NFPA and local codes.

Prefabrication & Spool Drawings

We have shop and spool drawings ready for precast off-site fabrication -less labor on site and faster project timeline.

Sleeve and Builder’s Work Drawings

Clear documentation for openings, inserts, and penetrations to prevent delays during rough-in and structural coordination.

MEP Coordination with Shop Drawings

Our services for MEP Shop drawing closely integrate with BIM workflow processes, allowing for large-scale coordination among disciplines during the process. We apply software such as Revit, AutoCAD MEP, and Navisworks to avoid a clash from systems. This collaborative writing ensures that when construction begins, the MEP drawings are in perfect alignment with architecture and structural aspects.

FAQs

What is a MEP shop drawing?

An MEP shop drawing is a detailed and scaled representation of mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems used for on-site installation. It includes precise layouts, dimensions, and coordination details to guide construction teams.

Pricing for shop drawings varies based on project complexity, scope, and turnaround time. Rates typically range from $1.50 to $3.00 per square foot or $500–$5,000+ per set, depending on experience and project size.

MEP drawings are created by specialized drafters or engineers, often working within BIM or CAD teams. These professionals ensure system layouts are accurate, coordinated, and ready for construction.

MEP drawings are technical schematics for mechanical (HVAC), electrical, and plumbing systems in a building. They help contractors visualize how systems interact and are critical for accurate installation and compliance.

Our Proven Process

1. Initial Consultation

We start with a detailed discussion to understand your project needs, schedule, and system specifications.

  • We identify the required MEP drawings (mechanical, electrical, plumbing, fire protection).
  • We assess the level of detailing needed—basic coordination or LOD 400 prefabrication level.
  • We clarify code compliance and jurisdictional requirements.

2. Document Collection

Our team gathers architectural plans, BIM models, specifications, and markups to begin the drafting process.

  • Architectural and structural plans
  • Design-level MEP drawing sets
  • Equipment schedules and cut sheets
  • BIM models (if available)
  • Field markups or redlines from contractors and engineers

3. Drafting & Modeling

Using industry-leading software, we prepare detailed MEP drawings that reflect real-world constraints and installation methods.

  • Mechanical shop drawings include ductwork, equipment locations, airflow direction, and access clearances.
  • HVAC shop drawings are developed with proper duct sizing, insulation details, hanger points, and clash-free routing.
  • Plumbing shop drawings cover pipe routing, riser diagrams, slope calculations, pipe supports, and fixture connections.

4. Coordination & Clash Detection

Each drawing is coordinated across disciplines to avoid installation conflicts and comply with project standards.

  • We align MEP drawings with other disciplines to avoid costly errors.
  • We identify and resolve interferences in real time before construction begins.
  • Finalized routing avoids beams, walls, ceiling clearances, and other trades.

5. Review & Revisions

We engage with your team to review, revise, and finalize the MEP shop drawings to match your field requirements.

  • Cloud-based review platforms for easy markups
    Open communication with field teams, engineers, and project managers
    Fast turnaround on revisions and updates

6. Final Delivery

You receive well-organized, installation-ready documents—digitally delivered in your required formats.

  • 2D CAD files
  • 3D BIM models
  • PDF sets with index sheets and legends
