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
Most common way to communicate finishes?
through a finish schedule
What does a finish schedule specify?
floor, base, walls, and sometimes ceilings
Where are install instructions for a specific finish called out?
in the specs
A ___ is a view of a building as seen from directly above, showing the roof of the building as well as the surrounding yards, walks, driveways, and other features within the property line
site plan
_______ show a view of the ceiling as though it were reflected onto a mirror on the floor
reflected ceiling plan
A _______ is a drawing showing a vertical surface from a point of view perpendicular to the surface
elevation
Main purpose for elevations?
to indicate the configuration and finish of wall surfacesand to show vertical dimensions and design of millwork and other freestanding constructionopenings in wallsbuilt-in itemslocations of switches, thermostats, and other wall-mounted equipmentindicate references to other sections and details
common scale for elevations
1/4” or 3/8” if complicated
A _______ is a drawing showing what a part of the construction would look like if there was a cut straight through
section
sections are useful to show
the relationships between materials
The manner in which an assembly of several parts is organized and connected is commonly referred to as a ____
detail
Details are commonly drawn at
1” or even 3”half size and full size details can also be drawn
___ show information in tabular format with rows and columns of data
schedules
common schedule types
room finish
door
kitchen equipment
millwork
hardware
In addition to providing their own information, schedules can also
refer to other parts of the drawings if necessary (example, door schedules can refer to specific details for the head, jamb, sill etc.
