Which of the following would NOT typically be included in shop drawings?

• A. Hole locations
• B. Connection details
• C. Anchor bolt sizes
• D. Architectural lighting plan

Answer: (D)

Shop drawings show exactly how structural steel is fabricated and erected, turning the engineer’s design into detailed fabrication and installation instructions. They focus on how pieces fit together, including where holes must be punched or drilled, how connections are made with plates, welds, and bolts, and the sizes and layout of anchor bolts used to secure members to foundations. An architectural lighting plan, by contrast, belongs to the architectural/MEP design set and specifies fixture types, locations, wiring, and circuits—information not part of the fabrication details for steel members. So the architectural lighting plan would not typically be included in shop drawings, while hole locations, connection details, and anchor bolt sizes are essential elements of them.
