Working Drawings & Models

Our team employs advanced CAD software and Building Information Modeling (BIM) techniques to develop comprehensive and accurate representations of the project. We utilize industry-leading modelling tools for the production of drawings, including RISA 3-D, ETABS, Hilti Profis, Hilti DF Diaphragm, and our proprietary in-house software. 

These drawings and models encompass various aspects, including architectural, structural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and other specialty systems. By providing clear and precise visualizations, we enable contractors and builders to execute the project efficiently and in accordance with the intended design.

In addition to working drawings and models, we also prepare comprehensive specifications that outline the required materials, construction methods, and quality standards. These specifications provide clear instructions for contractors and suppliers, ensuring that the project is executed to the highest standards of craftsmanship and quality.

Building Code Schedules

Grubb Engineering develops building code schedules that outline the specific code requirements and standards applicable to your project. Our team stays up to date with the latest building codes and regulations to ensure that your construction documents align with the required legal and safety guidelines. By incorporating building code schedules into our construction documents, we help streamline the building permit process and ensure a smooth progression of your project's design process.

Frequently Asked Questions

Construction documents are a set of documents that include a construction project’s specifications and working drawings and models that guide the construction process. They outline the project’s necessary materials and structural, mechanical and electrical components. These documents can specifically include floor plans, elevations, 3D drawings, and schedules developed by your structural engineer.

Construction documents ensure that a project is built according to its intended design, while meeting the latest building codes and regulations for both legal and safety requirements. 

The time to create construction documents will vary depending on the project and its scale. Our team works diligently to create construction documents in a timely manner, while maintaining a quality standard. 

Construction documents contain the technical details of the project and serve as a roadmap for the construction phase. They are combined with the project contract and conditions to form the contract documents, which cover the legal aspects of the project including budget, schedule and scope.

To capture clear and detailed representations of your construction project’s design, we create working drawings and models using a variety of industry leading modelling tools. Our structural engineers use CAD software and building information modelling techniques, specifically including the tools RISA 3-D, ETABS, Hilti Profis, Hilti DF Diaphragm, and our in-house BIM software.

Building code schedules are included in the construction documents as they help keep your construction project and the building permit process running smoothly. They will include the code requirements and standards that apply specifically to your project to ensure your build abides by them.
