Construction Activities
What is the purpose of Construction Documents?
Graphic and verbal instructions to a contractor for the purpose of bidding and constructing a proposed design. Provide the contractor with information concerning linear and aerial dimensions, volumes, and location of proposed elements. (1) Scale (2) Date (3) and North Arrow are required on all plans
Contractors use Construction Drawings and Specifications to put together bids
Cost Estimate
Project Title, Sponsor, Consultants Names, Index to Drawings by Title and Sheet Number, a Project Location Map, a graphic key to the drawing symbols
Cover or Index Sheet
The plan that displays Information often overlaid the existing condition plan. Shows the items to be demolished, removed, relocated, or transplanted
Demolition Plan
A reproduction of a registered survey plan for the site, drawn to or spliced into the standard sheet size of the working drawing set.
Existing Conditions Plan
What elements are required on the Existing Conditions Plan?
Scale, date, and North Arrow(True Magnetic North)
What should be included in the existing conditions plan?
Shows (1) Property Boundary line lengths and bearings (2) the total acres (3) the Topographic configuration illustrated with the contours and (4)significant spot elevations (5) existing structures (6)vegetation type and size (7) utilities (8) easements (9) adjacent roads (10) geodetic or DPW survey grid at 500 or 100 ft stations (11) a Location Map (12) and Boring Data.
Erosion Control
Prevent Silting of Streams and drains as regulated by the EPA specifications
Establish finished elevations
Finish Grading
Grading and Drainage Plan
Enables the contractor to establish vertical controls for the location of all site and building elements
What elements are included in a Grading and Drainage Plan?
Spot elevations, Contour Lines, locations and rim elevations of structures receiving runoff, Limit of grading (no-cut/no-fill line)
What plan(s) needs to be coordinated with building elevations, finished floor elevations, and all utility drawings?
Grading and Drainage Plan
Grubbing
Grubbing or clearing denotes the removal of trees, shrubs, stumps, and rubbish from a site, often from the site on which a transportation or utility corridor, e. g. a road or power line; an edifice, e. g. a home or office; or a garden is to be constructed
Layout and Materials Plan
Shows the Proposed development superimposed on existing conditions plan
Drawing from which quantities and materials are calculated by the contractor
Layout and Materials Plan
Show detailed layouts in courtyards or entrances
Plan Enlargements
Show locations of all proposed plant materials, their names, sizes, and any other characteristics that will assist the designer
Planting Plan and Details
What should be included in the plant list?

A note or clause in the Planting Specifications should state that which of the following shall take precedence; plan or the list?
The Plan takes precedence over the Planting List
What constitutes the Primary Drawings?
(1) Cover or Index Sheet (2) Existing Conditions (3) Demolition Plan (4) Site Preparation Plan (5) Site Preparation (6) Grading and Drainage Plan (7) Planting Plan and Details (8) Utility Plan (9) Site Details and Sections
Show a profile section along a roadway centerline and designate finish and existing grades at 50 to 100’ stations along that line
Road Profiles and Sections
