Section 1.1.0 Six Common Types of Construction Drawings
1. Civil or Site Plan
-shows the location of the building on the site from an aerial view,
construction features such as walks, driveways, or utilities, and the dimension and
description of the property.
2. Architectural
-also known as plan view, provides layout of each room
3. Structural
-gives details of the materials to be used
4. Mechanical
-engineered plans for motors, pumps, piping systems, and piping equipment
5. Plumbing
-shows the layout for the plumbing system that supplies hot and cold water, sewage
disposal and location of plumbing fixtures
6. Electrical
-engineered drawing for electrical supply and distribution
Section 1.2.0 Components of Construction Drawings
1. Title Block – gives information about the structure or assembly
Contains the following:
Company Logo
Sheet Title
Date
Drawn by
Drawing number
Scale
Revision blocks
2. Border – clear area of approximately half an inch around the edge of the drawing area
3. Drawing area – presents the information for constructing the project
4. Revision block - used to record any changes to the drawing
5. Legend – identification of lines and symbols
Section 1.3.0 Drawing Elements
Common types of Lines
1. Dimension lines – establish the sizes of parts of a structure
2. Leaders – identify the location of a specific part of the drawing
3. Property lines – indicate land boundaries
4. Cut lines – part of a drawing that is to be shown in a separate cross-sectional view
5. Section cuts – show areas not included in the cutting line view
6. Break lines – show where an object has been broken off to save space on the
drawing
7. Hidden lines – identify part of a structure that is not visible on the drawing
8. Center lines – show the measured center of an object
9. Object lines – identify the object of interest or the closest object
10. Grid lines – make it easy to refer to specific locations on a plan
Section 1.4.0 Drawing Scales
Scale – tells the size of the object drawn compared with the actual size
1. Architect’s scale – often used to create a construction drawings. Translates the large
measurements of structure into smaller measurement
2. Metric scale – scales are calibrated in units of 10
3. Engineer’s scale – used mainly for land measurement on site plans. Set up as
multiples of 10.
