OBJ 2.4 Flashcards
Apply standards required to assemble a set of clear and coordinated construction documentation (U/A) As an architect, you will also need to determine the necessary drawings required to communicate an architectural design based on the project delivery method. This requires assembling these drawings into a clear set of construction documents and ensuring the quality of the documentation meets the appropriate standard of care.
Schedules (Working Drawings)
Schedules in working drawings give information about doors, windows, room finishes, hardware, fixtures, equipment, and more.
Shop Drawings
Drawings, Diagrams, Schedules, and other data specially prepared for the work to illustrate some portion of the work by the general contractor, subcontractors, and fabricators.
Working Drawings
Working drawings, also called construction drawings, are the scaled plans, elevations, sections, details, and schedules that represent the configuration, size, shape, and location of a building to be built. They are used for estimating, permitting, and constructing the building. They comprise the graphical portion of the contract documents.
Bid Alternate
Portion of the work defined in the procurement documents for which separate pricing is to be identified in the bidder’s proposals.
General Requirements
Commonly known as Division 1, information in this set of sections is intended to communicate the administrative and procedural requirements that govern all of the technical sections. Information includes such topics as payment procedures, submittals, quality control, substitution requests, and contract close-out documents.
Submittals
Documents and physical samples that describe in detail how the contractor will construct the work. Submittals are closely scheduled and coordinated with the project construction schedule.
Parts to specify for a prefabricated wood truss
Overhang detail, pitch, and span. The trusses are then designed by the manufacturers.

What do notes on drawings provide?
Information -Instruction -Identification.
Keyed Note
A method for improving drawing clarity, it consists of an alphanumeric indicator symbol and leader line with a legend of those symbols and the full text notes located elsewhere on the drawing sheet.
MasterFormat
A master list of numbers and titles classified by work results or construction practices that is primarily used to organize project manuals and detailed cost information and related drawing notations to specifications.
Mock-Up Set, Cartoon Set, Story Book Set, and Mini-Set
These are all names for referring to drawings at 1/4 size representing all the project sheets required for a phase of construction drawings. This assists in planning the entire drawing set by assigning graphic and textual information to specific sheets in the set.
Discipline Designator
Consisting of one alphabetical character and a hyphen or two alphabetical characters: AANNN.

Sheet Sequence Number
First sheet in a series is always 01, followed by 02–99. They do not need to be sequential to allow for future inclusion of sheets during design.
Supplemental Drawings
Small changes on a drawing are normally accomplished with the use of revision clouds and numbers accompanied by a brief description in the revision block.
What should be considered when creating schedules?
Client requirements; Size relative to drawing block, drawing area, and project manual; Method of creation generated by CAD or manually produced; Reproduction method; Degree of reduction or enlargement; Minimum size of text to remain legible; End Use at office or jobsite.
Parts of a schedule according to NCS
- Heading: the main subject or title of a schedule
- Mark Column: first identifier at far left of schedule; can be alphanumeric or can include a graphic symbol
- Item Description Column: Name or identification of each Item provided with a separate mark in the schedule
- Distinguishing Feature Column: distinct, different, or defining characteristics that specifically describe special information related to items in the schedule
- Notes Column: special type of distinguishing feature Column used to locate special remarks about items in the schedule that do not warrant their own separate column identifier
Benefits of using NCS for clients and owners
- Consistent organization of data for all projects, from all sources- Greater clarity of communication of design intent to the client- Streamlined electronic data management of facility management data- Enhanced potential for automated document storage and retrieval - Streamlined construction document checking process
Benefits of using NCS for contractors and subcontractors
- Consistent drawing sheet order and sheet organization; information appears in the same place in all drawing sets
- Consistent detail reference system
- Reduction of discrepancies, potential for errors, change orders , and construction delays
- Enhanced potential for automated payment process
- Consistent organization of data for all projects
What does this sheet number represent based on the National CAD Standard (NCS)? A-204
Architectural; Elevations; Fourth sheet in the series.
What is typically included in the general sheets of a set?
Sheet list, symbols, code summary, abbreviations, code plans, life safety plans, and ADA requirements.
