Service overview
Shop Drawings Ready for the Fabrication Floor
We prepare reinforcing steel and structural steel shop drawings that fabricators can cut from and crews can install from: placing and erection drawings, assembly and piece drawings, bar bending schedules and connection details, all coordinated with the contract documents.

Why Bidnora
Shop Drawings That Get Approved
Every review cycle costs schedule. Our detailers aim to get it right on the first submittal.
Fewer review cycles: Drawings are checked against the contract documents before they reach the engineer.
RFIs raised early: Conflicts and missing details come up before fabrication, not after.
Field-friendly sheets: Layouts are arranged so crews find what they need quickly on site.
Fabrication-ready data: Schedules and material lists export cleanly for your shop's software.
“The color-coded markups make checking quantities quick. We bid more drywall and framing work last quarter than ever, without adding an estimator.”
