04: CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS Flashcards

1
Q

Describe the basic standards that drawings
should follow

A
  1. To simplify and coordinate the documentation process, only generic notes should be used on the drawings to identify, not describe, a material and component.
  2. The information contained within the drawings are complementary to the specifications and should not duplicate information.
  3. Do not cross-reference between drawing and specifications with notes such as “refer to specifications” or “manhole cover—see specifications.”

Q

Describe the nature of drawings

A

Drawings convey design intent and may show multiple views—either of the whole project or of individual parts. Drawings indicate relationships
between elements and may show the following for each material, assembly, component, piece of equipment, and accessory:
* Location
* Identification
* Dimension and size
* Details and diagrams of connections
* Shape and form

Q

Contrast scaled views and non-scaled views

A

Scaled views include orientation in the horizontal plane and in the vertical plane and vertical cuts through the project. Non scaled views include diagrams, key plans, schedules, perspectives, isometrics and title sheet drawings.

Q

Describe a drawing view

A

All design and construction drawings consist of a combination of views. Each view is prepared to demonstrate unique information in the most logical and understandable way. Views can represent a whole project or only portions of it. Views can be classified as one of two types: scaled or non-scaled.

Q

Describe the role/function of drawings at
different project phases

A

Shop Drawings: Shop drawings are detailed plans that bridge the gap between design and execution in construction or manufacturing projects. Unlike general architectural and engineering plans, shop drawings focus on specific components, providing precise instructions for fabrication and installation. They’re reviewed by various parties, including the design team and contractors. In summary, shop drawings guide how to create specific elements within a project.

Supplemental Drawings: During construction, changes or clarifications to contract documents may require supplemental drawings prepared by the architect/engineer. These drawings highlight revised areas, often marked with bubbles or clouds, and include a unique identifier for reference in correspondence and change orders.

Coordination Drawings: Coordination drawings integrate various trades’ requirements (such as HVAC, plumbing, electrical) into one composite drawing. They prevent clashes during installation, especially in congested areas like small ceiling cavities.

Record Drawings: Record drawings are modifications of the original contract drawings. They highlight changes incorporated into the work during construction and provide actual locations of items shown diagrammatically.

Q

Describe the four methods of specifying

A

Descriptive - A prescriptive method in which products and processes are specifed but the results are not.

Performance - A method of specifying results but not their means of achievement.

Proprietary - A prescriptive method in which products and processes are specified by specifying a manufacturer’s product, system, or assembly.

Reference Standard - A method that utilizes a reference to a published standard in lieu of specifying detailed requirements.

Q

Describe drawing features, such as drawing
identification, cover sheet, symbols,
dimensions, notations, and abbreviations

A
  • Drawing Identification: Individual drawings on a sheet are uniquely identified in order to provide a logical method for easily locating each element.
  • Cover Sheet: This is typically the first sheet in the drawing set. It often shows the name of the project, the name of the owner, the name of the architect/engineer and consultants, and the general project data such as location map, code information, and a list of included sheets.
  • Graphics: The drawing blocks illustrating the proposed work using a variety of line types, shading, and hatching, and will include symbols, notations, and dimensions. For renovation work, photographs may be used as part of the graphics.
  • Symbols: A scaled or non-scaled graphic representation of a product or material.
  • Dimensions: They delineate the actual size of an object or to demonstrate extent or required clearances. The referenced end points of dimension lines are usually shown with arrowheads or slash marks.
  • Notations: Textual information on drawings that identify an item and its extent or location. Notations should be kept to a minimum.
  • Abbreviations: Used on drawings and in schedules where space for textual information may be limited.
