Sheet SD-001 - Overview
Drafting Buddies provides professional shop drawing services across Ohio, helping general contractors, subcontractors, fabricators, architects, and engineers convert approved design and construction documents into detailed, coordinated shop drawings ready for fabrication and installation.
Whether you need structural steel shop drawings for a commercial build in Columbus, MEP shop drawings for a healthcare facility in Cleveland, or architectural millwork drawings for a retail project in Cincinnati, our team delivers drawings built for accuracy, constructability, and fast turnaround.
Shop drawings are the link between design intent and what actually gets fabricated and installed in the field. A set that's incomplete or poorly coordinated leads to RFIs, rework, and schedule delays - our drafters focus on correct dimensions, complete connection information, and cross-trade coordination so fabricators and installers can work with confidence.

Code requirements vary by Ohio municipality and project type, and any engineering or design decisions remain the responsibility of the licensed design professional on record.
