Chapter 24 - Construction Drawings Flashcards
What’s one of the most important parts of the contract documents?
the construction drawings
construction drawings are sometimes called
working drawings
What is the correct sequencing of drawings produced and coordinated by the designer:
Title and index sheet (if used)
Floor plans RCP
Elevations
Details
Mechanical (and any plumbing necessary)
Electrical
Fire Protection
Which trade produces fire protection plans?
mechanical engineer
if structural drawings are needed, where do they go?
after designer’s sheets and before mechanical
Simplest way to number a set (for smaller projects)
with a number
1 of 62 of 63 of 6 etc.
How to number a set for larger projects with multiple disciplines/consultants
Numbers are preceded with a capital letter designating the discipline involved
Letter for disciplines
A Arch or IntE ElecFP Fire protectionI Interiors (used when a separate series by the architect is part of the set)M MechanicalP PlumbingS Structural
For larger projects, what’s a way to further organize the drawings within disciplines?
drawings can be grouped. example: floor plans could be group 1, RCPs group 2, elevations group 3, etc. The group number is followed by a decimal then sequential numbers starting with 1
Ex:
A1.1A1.2A1.3A2.1A2.2A3.1A3.2A3.3
M1.1M1.2M2.1etc.
For projects (large or small) in high-rise buildings or large buildings with with different sections or building complexes, how do you number them?
the number is preceded with the floor number or building section numberex: 54A1.3 indicates a floor plan sheet in the architectural (or interior) series of a project on the 54th floor
What’s a variation on the high-rise/building complex numeric system?
put the letter first before the numberex: A54-1.3
__________ are views seen as though a building were cut horizontally bout 4 ft above the floor with the top section removed
construction plans (AKA floor plans or partition plans)
construction plans are usually drawn at what scale?
1/8” = 1’-0”
if large scale plans are needed, they should be drawn at
1/2” = 1’-0”
For large or complex projects, the ID sometimes draws a separate _____ showing the locations of electrical outlets, telephone outlets, and other signal systems
power plan or telephone plan
