Shop Drawing Services in Massachusetts

Massachusetts construction runs on 780 CMR, the Massachusetts State Building Code, alongside the state's own trade codes - 527 CMR for electrical work and 248 CMR for plumbing - plus whatever amendments Boston, Cambridge, or your project's specific city layer on top for permitting and inspection. A steel shop drawing that satisfies AISC and AWS D1.1 welding standards can still stall in submittal review if it isn't formatted the way the architect of record or the local building department expects to see it.

Drafting Buddies detailers work from the engineer's and architect's approved design documents to produce shop drawings that move cleanly through the submittal process - tracked against a log, redlined against reviewer comments, and revised until they carry an approved-for-fabrication stamp. Whether it's structural steel for a Boston high-rise, MEP coordination for a Cambridge lab building, or millwork for a Worcester renovation, we build drawings your GC, fabricator, and reviewer can all rely on.

Most Massachusetts projects need two or three trades detailed together. We coordinate those disciplines under one team, so structural, architectural, and MEP shop drawings reference the same dimensions and don't contradict each other in the field.
