    Study Notes

    Types of Drawings

    • Four basic types of architectural drawings: Plans, Elevations, Sections, Details.

    Plans

    • Represent a horizontal "cut" through a building, providing a bird's eye view.
    • Include various views: foundation plans, floor plans, framing plans, reflected ceiling plans.

    Elevations

    • Illustrate the building's exterior from each side.
    • Each elevation is named based on the direction the exterior wall faces.

    Sections

    • Show a vertical "cut" through the building to provide insight into design at key locations.

    Details

    • Enlarged representations of particular building elements to illustrate construction specifics, such as connections or special features.

    Errors or Discrepancies in Drawings

    • Discrepancies are frequent in construction drawings; detailed drawings generally take precedence over general ones.
    • Specifications override drawings in case of conflicts, ensuring accurate implementation.

    Drawings of Construction Projects

    • Three main types: Construction Drawings, Construction-Related Drawings, Record Drawings.

    Construction Drawings

    • Created after schematic design and design development phases.
    • Known as Detailed Drawings, encompass demolition, modifications, and new construction.
    • Serve as a foundation for other drawings produced during the construction phase.
    • Supplementary documents created during construction.
    • Shop Drawings detail fabrication and installation, prepared by contractors or suppliers.
    • Change Clarifications indicate revisions, marked by bubbles or clouds.
    • Coordination Drawings address requirements for congested areas, accommodating multiple trades.

    Record Drawings

    • Also known as As-built drawings, modified to reflect changes made during construction.
    • Document field changes, modifications, and serve for future maintenance and alterations.

    Contract and Construction Documents

    • A construction contract is a legally enforceable agreement between owner and contractor, comprising numerous documents.
    • Contract documents include detailed construction drawings, conditions, terms, and specifications.

    Drawing Production and Organization

    • Historically referred to as blueprints; modern methods include 3D and 4D modeling.
    • Drawing sizes vary significantly based on project scale, with typical dimensions around 24" x 36" to 36" x 48".
    • Drawings are organized into sections based on disciplines: civil, architectural, structural, mechanical, and electrical.

    Specific Drawings

    • Civil Drawings: Prepared by civil engineers; cover grading, utilities, and site work.
    • Architectural Drawings: Majority of the set; detail aesthetics, dimensions, materials, and include various schedules.
    • Structural Drawings: Created by structural engineers; identify components of the structural frame.
    • Mechanical Drawings: Cover plumbing, HVAC systems, and fire protection installations.
    • Electrical Drawings: Detail wiring, fixtures, and electrical systems; must be verified for accuracy as record documents.

    As-Built vs. Record Drawings

    • As-built drawings reflect actual constructed conditions and aren't sealed.
    • Record drawings are verified and sealed by professional engineers, ensuring accuracy and reliability.
