Zoning restrictions: Common Zones:
Most communities are divided into zones which certain types of buildings are encouraged or restricted Common zones: single-family, apartment, condos, commercial. industrial
Deed restriction:
Specify things such as the minimum-size house that can be built or requirements for certain architectural feature. or setback distance
Setback distance:
Minimum distance allowed from house to adjacent features such as other houses or the street. For example a house near a stream might have to be located a certain distance above the flood level
Legal documents for purchase of house: 1. 2. 3. 4.
The official survey - boundaries of property The deed - evidence of ownership abstract of title - history of deed and other papers affecting ownership contract of sales - describes details relating to purchase

Stock plan:
standard house plan that can be fit to many different lots
floor plan:
scale drawing showing the size and location of rooms on a given floor
Where can house plans be obtained:
local builders, or hire an architect or building designer.
Financing: Typically a borrower starts with an X loan
construction loan
construction loan:
short term loan used during construction where the lender provides money periodically as the work progresses
After the construction is finished, the construction loan is converted to X
a mortgage (15- 30)
Who may establish certain requirements for home construction:
Loan providers, as well as some federal agencies. These are not the same as building codes
To determine building costs, builders and designers often start with
average cost per square foot sq ft * cost of construction per sq ft
Why can actual costs be higher than average cost per square foot?
special features, unique building material, unusual materials
Best way to get an accurate price on estimate:
ask subcontractor to bid on the project
Types of drawings: Sketch:
quick and informal drawing
Architectural Plans:
sometimes called construction drawings or work drawings are more formal drawings.
What do architectural plans provide:
an organized and precise way of showing how an entire structure should be built
Blue Prints:
copies of the original architectural plan
Modern blue prints have:
blue lines on a white background
One inch is equal to X mm
25.4
Two most common length measurements in residential construction are:
inch and foot
Two most common length measurements in residential construction in metric are:
milimeter and meter
In the customary system, liquids are measured in
quarts and gallons
In the metric system, liquids are measured in
liter
Kilgram = X pounds
2.2
On architectural plans all measurements are given in:
milimeters
Residentail Construction uses X scale most commonly
1/4” = 1’
What tool does an architect use when making a scale drawing:
architects scale
What does an Architects scale allow:
The measurements in reduces scale drawing to be measured as though they were in actual feet and inches
An architects drawing consists of X
Lines, dimensions, symbols and notes
Lines:
lines show the shape of an object and are sued for many other purposes as well.
Center lines:
are used to indicate the center of an object. They’re composed of Long and Short dashes alternatively.
Centerline intersections:
short dashes cross
Dimension lines:
indicate the start and endpoint of a particular dimensions. They have arrowheads at each end.
The dimension in dimension lines is written as:
a break in the middle of the line.
Leader lines:
connect a note or reference part of the drawing.
how do leader lines end:
They usually end in an arrowhead or a large circular dot. Dots should be within the outline of an object. Leaders should end at any suitable portion of the note reference or dimension.
Break lines:
may be solid, free hand lines that indicate short breaks.
Break lines for land breaks:
free hand zigzags
Sectioning lines:
Indiciate exposed surfaces of an object in a sectional view. They are generally full thin lines, but they vary with the kind of material shown.
Extension Lines:
mark the end points of a dimension and should not touch the outline of the object
Hidden Lines:
Short evenly spaced dashes that show the hidden features of a part of a drawing
What do hidden lines always begin with:
a dash in contact with the line from which they start, however a space is added when such a dash would form the continuation of a full line.
Outlines or visible lines:
represent those edges of the object that can actually be see
Cutting plane lines
show sections that would otherwise be hidden.
What is a Section:
A section is a view that shows an object as if part of it were cut away to expose the inside
Dimensions:
Dimension are numbers that tell the size of something.
Where are plans dimensioned:
outside and inside building lines. Outside show openings and exterior wall changes. Inside locate walls relative to one another
How do you derive dimensions not shown?
Adding or subtracting other dimensions
Symbols:
Symbols are used to represent things that would be impractical to show in other types of drawings doors windows plumbing fixtures
What does WC mean?
water closet
Horizontal-sliding window also referred to as:
glide-by or gliding window
Notes:
Short written explanations of things that might not be clear from the drawing or that requires extra emphasis. Materials, construction, finish
Two kinds of notes:
Specific Notes General Notes
Specific Notes:
Clarify dimensions or suggest a construction technique.
General Notes:
Refers to many or all drawings in a set of plans. “All dimensions are given from stud face to stud face”
Advantage of CAD
features can be drawn once and reused in subsequential projects
What comprises a complete set of architectural plans
various views of the site and the building. General and detailed
General Drawing:
consist of plan views and elevations to show a large portion of the building.
Detail drawings:
details are shown with sectional view and detail drawings
Plan view:
top view or birds eye view which allows you to see the width, length, and location of objects as if you were standing on a platform high above them and looking down.
Site Plan or Plot plan:
shows the building lot with boundaries, contours, existing roads, utilities
Site Plan or Plot plan:
