Aluminum Window Shop Drawings for Architects | Techno Kol Uzi

t395-23

Aluminum window shop drawings are the detailed production drawings that show every window's dimensions, profile layout, opening types, glazing and fixing points before fabrication begins. Techno Kol Uzi prepares them for architects from on-site measurement and a written specification, so the approved drawing matches exactly what is built.

Why architects need shop drawings for aluminum windows

Architectural drawings show the intent of a façade, but they rarely contain the detail a fabricator needs to build a window. Shop drawings fill that gap. They define frame sections, sash arrangement, opening directions, glass build-up, hardware positions and anchoring method for each unit.

Having this detail reviewed and approved before production protects the design intent and avoids disputes on site. It also gives the project team one document to check against the rest of the envelope.

What our drawing package includes

Each set we prepare for architects is organized by window type and includes the information needed for a clear review:

Elevation of each unit with overall and opening dimensions
Plan and vertical sections through frame, sash and mullions
Opening directions, hardware locations and handle side
Glazing specification and glass build-up
Fixing details to the structure and sealing lines
Schedule listing every window by tag and quantity

How the process works step by step

The workflow starts with your inquiry, ideally with plans, elevations and photos of the opening. We then arrange an on-site measurement, because existing openings often differ from drawn dimensions. From these measurements and your specification we prepare a drawing and written description.

You review and approve the shop drawings, with comments handled in a revision round. Only after written approval do we move to production in our factory at 37 Rival Street, Tel Aviv.

Coordinating with structure, façade and other trades

Aluminum windows interface with masonry, concrete, insulation and waterproofing, so coordination matters. We show the sill, head and jamb conditions clearly, including where the frame meets the structure and where sealants and membranes should be placed.

If the façade consultant or contractor has a standard detail, send it to us early. We can adapt the window section to suit it so the drawings reflect the complete wall build-up.

Finishes, safety and approval requirements

Finish options and glazing choices affect both appearance and performance, so they belong in the approved drawing. We record the finish, glass type and any safety or acoustic requirements in the specification so nothing is left to interpretation during fabrication.

Where guarding or safety glazing is involved, we work from your design requirements and the relevant standards, and confirm exact values with the responsible engineer before final approval.

Working with Techno Kol Uzi on your project

Our factory has operated since 1945 and is run today by the third generation of the family, so we understand both the drawing side and the production side of aluminum work. Architects, interior designers and contractors can send their requests at any stage of design.

Clear drawings reduce revisions, and early contact with the fabricator usually saves time in the schedule. Share your drawings and we will confirm what is needed to prepare the shop package.

Frequently asked questions

Do you prepare shop drawings from my architectural drawings?

Yes. We use your architectural drawings and specification as the starting point, then add the production detail needed for fabrication. We also verify dimensions on site before finalizing.

Why is on-site measurement included?

Existing openings frequently differ from drawn dimensions by small amounts that matter for fit. Measuring on site lets the approved drawing reflect the real opening.

Can the drawings be changed after approval?

Changes are possible through a documented revision, but they should be requested before production starts. Once fabrication begins, changes can affect cost and schedule.

Do you work with projects outside Tel Aviv?

Our factory is located at 37 Rival Street, Tel Aviv. Contact us with your project location and we will confirm how we can support it.

Common mistakes to avoid

Approving window drawings without checking the actual opening dimensions and the wall build-up at the sill and jamb. These two checks prevent most fit and sealing problems.

Our recommendation

Send the façade detail your contractor will use together with the first inquiry, so we can draw the window section to match the full wall build-up from the start.

Summary

Clear aluminum window shop drawings, measured on site and approved in writing before production, keep your façade design and the built result aligned.
