Shop Drawing Review
(OP)
I have a project that is a steel framed building. I have been submitted shop drawings for review. There are around 400 pages or so that need to be reviewed. We used to just print the pages out, mark up the drawings and send them back. I don't really want to do that and I am wondering if there is a better way to run through the approval process.

I just know some companies do electronic reviews and I was wondering what is the standard.

What software do you use to make the marks on the PDF? I only have reader here and I don't want to drop $300 on a program. I managed to get the client to print the Joist, Deck and Erection drawings and I figure I will print out the other shop drawings as needed or possibly mark up using some sort of PDF program.

A lot of the sheets in larger steel projects end up being fabrication sheets showing every beam, plate and column, sometimes only a few per page- major waste of paper and not like you are checking every beam length. This way you can skip to the "good stuff" fast and easy.

Trying to review them on a screen is going to be very unwieldy.

Our company policy at this time is to receive and send shop drawing electronically, but if an individual is more efficient by printing out a shop drawing, then we're directed to print out the shop drawing. The cost of printing is generally minimal relative to the cost of labor.

Another issue is that frequently the files we receive are consolidated and finding a specific drawings is difficult.
