Shop Drawing Description for a Villa Project (Ground + First Floor)
The scope of the shop drawing work for a villa consisting of a ground floor and a first floor includes the preparation of detailed execution drawings based on the approved structural and architectural design drawings. These shop drawings aim to accurately illustrate how all structural elements are to be constructed on-site, providing precise reinforcement details in accordance with applicable codes and project specifications.
Main Steps in Shop Drawing Preparation:
Review of Architectural and Structural Drawings:
Ensuring the consistency of dimensions and coordination between structural elements, architectural features, and service openings.
Foundation Plan Preparation:
Includes the layout, dimensions, and type of footings (isolated or raft), top and bottom reinforcement details, stirrups, and the positioning of splices and lap lengths.
Column Detailing:
Shows column sizes, number and diameter of vertical bars, stirrups, lap splices, and connection with footings and beams.
Beam Layouts:
Includes the beam dimensions, top and bottom reinforcement, stirrup spacing, and additional reinforcement at supports and cantilever ends.
Slab Reinforcement Details:
Covers reinforcement directions, tension and compression zones, extra bars around openings, and integration with surrounding beams and walls.
Bar Bending Schedules (BBS):
Specifies the bar diameter, length, quantity, bending shapes, and cutting lists for each structural element in accordance with standard site practices.
Special Detailing:
Includes stair reinforcement, slab openings, edge reinforcements, detailing of load transfer areas, and localized strengthening where required.
Review and Coordination:
Coordination with architectural, electrical, and mechanical drawings to prevent conflicts and ensure full alignment, followed by thorough checking before final approval.
