These buttons will allow you to easily integrate the Shop Drawings required for a construction project as well as to link them with the construction tasks.

This will be used to allow you to track shop drawings with the display of Shop Drawings (view button).

It will allow you to add one or more new shop drawings, delete a drawing not required or manage the revision of drawings that are refused.

Before you can use this group, you must build the schedule without procurement tasks by registering the necessary stakeholders (resources)  for the project.

Make sure that the list of resources contains all the project resources: subcontractors (specialized contractors and suppliers), consultants (architect, structural engineer, mechanical engineer, etc.), the owner, the general contractor required for the project.

This list is often part of company standards and can be imported from one project to another. It will be created automatically when creating a new project with the Construction add-in or you can add it using the Resources button  in the Tools group.

The Create Excel Workbook button  will create an Excel workbook with all the registered resources in the Project file in a format that will allow the Construction add-in to import easily.

The Import drawings button  will import the Excel file created previously. The Construction add-in will create all the tasks necessary for the procurement section.

The Link to Construction button  will make it easier for you to make the links between contract awards that are not associated with shop drawings and manufacturing/delivery to construction tasks. It will also let you make links between Material Delivery/manufacturing and Construction tasks.

The View button  quickly shows the Shop Drawings view enabling you to easily track all the necessary steps for managing shop drawings.

The New drawing button  allows you to add an additional drawing by creating in Microsoft Project (Plan 3) the preparation, approval, and manufacturing tasks as well as by linking the latter to the necessary construction tasks.

The Delete drawing button  allows you to delete a drawing as well as the associated tasks chains, which means preparation, approval, and manufacture/delivery tasks chain.

The Revised drawing button   allows to create a revised task with its approval and linked it to the planned delivery by the first chain of this drawing.
