At Nash, we provide professional shop drawing review services to ensure your construction project’s fabricated components meet exact design specifications and quality standards. Our team of licensed engineers and construction specialists delivers meticulous drawing coordination reviews, material compliance verification, and constructability assessments for projects across the United States. Whether you’re a general contractor, architect, or project owner, our third-party shop drawing review helps prevent costly errors and delays during fabrication and installation.
Comprehensive shop drawing analysis serves as the essential quality control checkpoint between design intent and physical construction. At Nash, our certified reviewers examine every detail of fabrication drawings, submittal packages, and product data to verify compliance with contract documents, building codes, and industry standards. We specialize in structural steel shop drawings, precast concrete reviews, MEP coordination drawings, and architectural millwork submittals, identifying discrepancies before they become field issues. Our rigorous review process helps maintain design integrity, material quality, and installation accuracy throughout your project.
Nash implements a systematic shop drawing evaluation methodology that examines all critical elements of fabrication documentation. Our AIA-certified professionals conduct dimensional accuracy checks, connection detail verification, and load path analysis for structural components. We perform material specification reviews, finish compatibility assessments, and installation sequence validation to ensure constructability. The process includes coordination reviews between different trade drawings, conflict detection using BIM overlays, and manufacturer’s certification verification. For complex assemblies, we provide annotated markups and clarification requests that streamline the approval process.
Different construction elements demand focused expertise during the review process. Nash provides curtain wall shop drawing reviews examining anchorage details and thermal performance, along with precast concrete drawing reviews verifying lifting inserts and embed locations. Our structural steel reviews analyze connection details, camber specifications, and bolting/welding requirements. For MEP systems, we review ductwork shop drawings, pipe routing coordination, and equipment pad details. We also specialize in custom architectural metalwork reviews, expansion joint submittals, and firestopping system drawings, ensuring all specialty components meet project requirements.
Nash enhances traditional shop drawing review with advanced BIM coordination services that identify and resolve conflicts before fabrication. Our 3D model reviewers conduct virtual construction simulations, clearance analyses, and maintenance access reviews using the latest Navisworks and Revit platforms. We provide clash detection reports that highlight spatial conflicts between structural, architectural, and MEP systems, along with constructability reviews of installation sequences and service access requirements. This proactive approach prevents costly field modifications and keeps projects on schedule.
Nash stands apart in construction drawing review services through our unique combination of design expertise and field construction experience. Our team includes professional engineers who understand both theoretical requirements and practical installation challenges. We maintain current knowledge of AISC standards, ACI guidelines, SMACNA requirements, and other industry-specific protocols. Unlike basic review services, we provide value-added recommendations for material alternatives, installation improvements, and cost-saving modifications that maintain quality while enhancing project efficiency. Our rapid turnaround times and clear comment formats help keep your project moving forward without delays.
Nash specializes in existing condition drawing reviews that address the unique challenges of renovation projects and building retrofits. Our field verification reviews compare shop drawings with actual site conditions to ensure proper fit. We provide historic preservation drawing reviews for sensitive restoration projects and seismic retrofit drawing evaluations for structural upgrades. For mechanical system replacements, we verify existing penetration locations and clearance requirements. Our as-built reconciliation reviews help resolve discrepancies between original designs and field modifications, ensuring accurate fabrication for replacement components.
