What type of project component usually does not require shop drawings as part of the required submittal?

Flooring typically does not require shop drawings as part of the required submittal process. While flooring installation is a critical component of construction and may include specifications regarding materials, color, texture, and installation methods, it often relies more on manufacturer’s product data and installation guidelines rather than detailed shop drawings.

Shop drawings are custom details prepared by contractors, suppliers, or manufacturers that show how specific components of a project will be constructed. In contrast, roofing, electrical systems, and structural framework usually require shop drawings due to their complexity, safety requirements, and the need for precise coordination with other project elements. These components often need significant detailing and verification to ensure they meet the project’s unique specifications and standards.

Thus, while some submittals are essential for flooring to confirm product specifications, they do not typically involve detailed drawings as is common with other more complex project components.
