Key differences
| Point | Shop Drawing | Product Data |
|---|---|---|
| Source | Usually prepared for the project. | Usually manufacturer-provided. |
| Detail level | Shows project-specific layout or assembly. | Shows standard product information. |
| Review focus | Coordination, dimensions, and installation intent. | Compliance with specified product requirements. |
