Construction Information
A Coordinated Model Is Most Valuable When the Information Can Be Used
BIM coordination establishes relationships between systems. Construction documentation turns that coordinated information into drawings and project outputs that teams can review and use.
Our documentation workflows can support plans, shop drawings, sections, details, schedules, builders work information and agreed as-built outputs.
- BIM-derived drawing production
- Coordinated MEP shop drawings
- Sections and detailed views
- Builders work and penetration drawings
- Equipment and plant-room layouts
- Construction and as-built documentation

Documentation Workflow
From Coordinated Model to Controlled Drawing Release
01
Review Inputs
Models, drawings, standards and required deliverables.
02
Confirm Coordination
Review system routing, interfaces and model status.
03
Generate Views
Plans, sections, details and project-specific views.
04
Annotate
Add required dimensions, tags, notes and references.
05
QA / QC
Review document completeness, consistency and source alignment.
06
Release
Issue agreed drawings and associated project deliverables.
Documentation Control
Drawn Does Not Automatically Mean Construction-Ready
A drawing can be complete on paper while still containing unresolved routing, coordination or interface issues.
Construction documentation should reflect coordinated information and agreed project requirements before release.

Document QA/QC
Documentation Should Remain Consistent With the Model
Drawing quality is not only about linework and presentation. Information must remain consistent with the coordinated model, agreed project scope and drawing standards.
✓
Model / Drawing Comparison
Review drawing information against the current model.
✓
Annotation Review
Check tags, notes, dimensions and references.
✓
Coordination Review
Confirm key systems reflect coordinated information.
✓
Sheet Consistency
Review naming, references and drawing organization.
✓
Release Status
Confirm agreed documentation is ready for issue.
Digital Documentation Environment
Technology Supporting Construction Documentation
BIM-based documentation can maintain a stronger relationship between coordinated model information and downstream project drawings.
Frequently Asked Questions
Construction Documentation FAQs
What are MEP shop drawings?
MEP shop drawings are construction-oriented drawings communicating coordinated system layouts, routes, equipment locations and related project information according to the defined scope.
Can shop drawings be generated from BIM models?
Yes. Coordinated BIM information can be used to develop plans, sections, details and other agreed construction documentation.
Do you provide builders work drawings?
Builders work documentation can include openings, penetrations, sleeves and interfaces between building services and structural elements when these are part of the project scope.
Can you produce combined services drawings?
Yes. Multidiscipline coordination information can support combined services drawings showing relationships between MEPF systems.
Can you support as-built documentation?
Yes. Final model and drawing information can be updated using agreed construction records and supplied project changes for as-built workflows.
What information is required to start?
Typical inputs include current BIM models, project drawings, documentation standards, required disciplines, drawing list, expected deliverables and project schedule.
