Hotel Furniture Shop Drawing Approval Checklist
Check the current furniture drawings, supporting documents and review comments before the agreed production release. Use this checklist to organise the review and keep the approval record clear.
Prepare one current review package
A shop drawing describes a furniture item in detail for review and manufacturing. Before checking it, gather the project information that controls the item.
Current drawings
Use the drawing register to identify the latest revision. Set earlier revisions aside so the team reviews the same information.
Supporting records
Bring together the furniture schedule, BOQ, material references and relevant room or equipment information.
Review comments
Keep comments attached to the relevant drawing or item. Identify the person responsible for resolving each open point.
Eight checks before drawing sign-off
Review each applicable item against the current project documents. Record the supporting reference and any unresolved point in your project records.
On a small screen, scroll the table sideways to see all columns. Checkboxes are review aids; formal approvals belong in your project records.
| Review item | What to check | Supporting reference |
|---|---|---|
| Match the item description, drawing number, date and revision to the current furniture schedule. | Current drawing register and furniture schedule. | |
| Confirm the applicable room types and quantities against the current bill of quantities (BOQ). | Current BOQ and room allocation. | |
| Review width, depth, height and the site measurements needed for the item. Resolve missing dimensions. | Coordinated plans, elevations, sections and site information. | |
| Match each component to its approved core material, surface finish and sample reference. | Current material schedule and approved samples. | |
| Check doors, drawers and fittings against their intended use and approved references. | Hardware schedule and relevant drawing details. | |
| Confirm equipment openings, cable routes and service access against the selected equipment information. | Equipment data and coordinated service drawings. | |
| Include the agreed sample or mock-up comments in the current drawing revision. | Sample review record and resolved comments. | |
| Record the reviewer, revision, decision and any open comments before the agreed production release. | Project approval record and release instruction. |
A marked checkbox does not authorise production. The responsible project team must record its decision and the agreed release instruction.
Record the decision against the exact revision
Keep a clear approval record for each item or agreed drawing package. Use the decision terms and approval responsibilities defined for the project.
- Identify the drawing number, revision, date and applicable item.
- Name the reviewer and record the review date and decision.
- List open comments, the action owner and the required next submission.
- Reference any approved material samples or mock-up changes.
- Record the production release separately where the project requires it.
Open point
A missing dimension or unresolved comment needs a recorded answer. Keep the affected item under review until the required decision is made.
Drawing change
Issue a new revision with a clear change record. Repeat the affected checks and update the approval reference.
Agreed release
Identify the approved information handed over for production. Keep superseded drawings outside the current production package.

Shop drawing approval questions
What is a hotel furniture shop drawing?
It is a detailed drawing used to review a furniture item before manufacturing. It brings together dimensions, construction details, material references and relevant connections to the room.
Does checking every box approve a drawing?
No. This checklist helps organise a review. Formal approval and production release must be recorded through the approval route agreed for the project.
Is a full mock-up room always required?
The approval plan determines whether material samples, an item prototype or a full mock-up room are needed. Record the agreed scope and update the drawings with any approved changes.
What should happen when a drawing changes after review?
Issue the new revision, identify the change and repeat the affected checks. Keep the approval record tied to the revision that was actually reviewed.
Have furniture drawings or a BOQ ready?
Send the project information you have to I-HOTEL Furniture. Include the current drawing references and any review questions that affect the furniture scope.
