Shop Drawing Services in New Zealand

Accurate shop drawings are the difference between a project that flows and a project that stalls. At Metal Mart, our shop drawing and CAD detailing service turns your concepts, sketches, architectural plans or engineering drawings into precise, fabrication ready drawings and cut files. And because we cut and fabricate metal every day, our drawings are produced by people who understand exactly how parts behave on the machine, on the bench and on site.

That is the Metal Mart difference. We are not a drafting bureau that hands over drawings and walks away. We draw it, we cut it, and we stand behind both.

Drawings Produced by the People Who Make the Parts

Most detailing providers have never run the machines their drawings feed. Our drafting team works alongside our laser cutting and fabrication operation, which means every drawing is checked against real world manufacturability before it ever reaches a workshop. Hole sizes, wall thicknesses, joint clearances, weld access, bend allowances and material grades are specified by people who deal with them daily.

The result: fewer RFIs, fewer surprises, less rework, and parts that fit together the first time.

Our Shop Drawing and Detailing Services

Fabrication shop drawings. Complete, dimensioned drawings for steel and metal components, ready for the workshop, with materials, finishes, welds and connections clearly specified.

Cut ready CAD files. DXF and DWG files prepared and nested for laser cutting, including tube and pipe components for rotary laser cutting. If we are cutting the job, this step is seamless. If your own fabricator is cutting it, they will thank you for the quality of the files.

Tube and pipe component detailing. Interlocking joints, notches, mitres, slots and connection details designed to take full advantage of 360 degree tube laser cutting, producing frames and assemblies that self locate and weld up fast.

Concept development. Got an idea, a sketch on paper, or a sample part? We can develop it into an accurate, production ready drawing and prototype it on our own machines.

Reverse engineering. Existing parts with no drawings can be measured and redrawn so they can be reproduced accurately, every time.

From Drawing to Delivered Part, Under One Roof

Because drawing, cutting and fabrication happen together at Metal Mart, your project moves faster and communication never falls through the cracks:

You brief us once, and the same team carries your job from design through production. Design questions are answered in hours, not days, because the drafter can walk to the machine. Drawings are optimised for material efficiency, saving you money on every sheet and length. Prototypes can be drawn, cut and in your hands quickly, so designs are proven before production.

Who We Work With

We produce shop drawings and fabrication drawings for engineers, architects, builders, fabricators, manufacturers, designers and inventors across New Zealand. Whether you need a single component detailed or a complete project drawing package, our team delivers drawings that are accurate, clear and ready to build from.

How to Get Started

Send us whatever you have: architectural or engineering drawings, PDFs, sketches, photos, sample parts or just an idea. Tell us what the part needs to do, the material and finish you have in mind, and the quantity, and we will come back to you promptly with a plan, pricing and timeframes.
