GA Drawings

General arrangement drawings for erection sequencing and site coordination.

Overview

What This Service Covers

General arrangement drawings are the reference every other drawing in a steel package points back to. We prepare GA drawings that clearly communicate overall structure layout, grid references, and erection sequencing, so your field crew and project management team share one common reference for the whole job.

Our GA drawings are built directly from the coordinated 3D model, keeping grid lines, elevations, and piece call-outs consistent with the shop and erection drawings that follow.

Ideal For

Fabricators, general contractors, and engineering firms across the USA, Canada, UK, and Australia who need ga drawings handled by a team fluent in both the drawings and the shop floor.

FAQ

GA Drawings — Common Questions

What is the difference between a GA drawing and an erection drawing?+

GA drawings show the overall structure layout and grid references, while erection drawings focus on piece-by-piece placement instructions for the field crew.

Do GA drawings include erection sequencing?+

Yes, erection sequence numbering and notes are included where the project requires a defined erection order.

Can GA drawings be updated quickly if the structural grid changes mid-project?+

Yes, because GA drawings are generated from the 3D model, grid or elevation changes propagate through quickly during revisions.
