1

Objective

Realize the organization and intent of construction drawings

2

DefinitionO Drawings are graphic and textual

information organized on a two-dimensional surface for the purpose of conveying data about a specific portion of a project

O The information on a particular drawing varies with:O who will use itO what the project phase isO what the drawing represents

3

May Show the Following for Each Material, Assembly, Component, &

Accessory:O LocationO IdentificationO Dimension and SizeO Details and Diagrams of ConnectionsO Shape and Form

4

Design Phase DrawingsO Establish the scope & design of a projectO Schematic design phase- may include

sketches, renderings or conceptual diagrams

O These drawings describe the size, shape, volume, spatial relationships, and functional characteristics of components

O Design development phase- multiple views of project shown

5

Design Phase DrawingsO Primarily tools to convey ideals of

the visual effect of a projectO Show the qualities of space in terms

of surface texture, finishes, lighting, and color

6

Construction DrawingsO Consist of Contract & Record

drawingsO Contract drawings may included:

O Demolition- show existing construction to be removed

O Renovation – existing construction to be modified

O New Construction – construction to be provided

7

Shop DrawingsO Further illustrate portions of the

projectO Show how a particular aspect of the

work is to be fabricated and installed

8

A/E Prepares Supplemental Drawings

O These drawings supplement the contract documents

O Often the changes on the drawings are marked by placing a “bubble” or “cloud” around the affected area

9

Record DrawingsO These are drawings that are marked-

up or corrected contract drawings indicating changes in work incorporated during construction

O Include: field changes, modifications, supplemental drawings, and significant changes in scope

10

Drawings Consist of:O Plans – floor, roof, site, framing, and

reflected ceilingO Elevations – exterior building, interior

room, and specialized componentsO Sections – transverse, cross, or

longitudinal of building, walls, or siteO Diagrams – electrical single-line,

plumbing riserO Schedules – room finish,

window/door, equipment

11

Drawing StandardsO Sheet/Drawing IdentificationO Graphics – line weights (vary)O SymbolsO DimensionsO Notes (terminology used should be

the same as in specs)O Abbreviations

12

Uniform Drawing System

O UDS in development for several yearsO Standardizes:

O Organization & Presentation of drawing sets

O SheetsO SchedulesO DiagramsO Drafting conventions/colorsO Standard system for keynotes,

attributes, CAD layering
