1. BUILDING DRAWING
These drawings provide layout plans and details
for construction of each and every part of the
building.
General Drawing
A. ARCHITECTURAL DRAWING
Architectural drawing can be termed as the
mother drawing for all the other drawings used for
construction. It contains all the details of the
project such as location site plan, setting out plan,
elevations, sections and other details.
ARCHITECTURAL DRAWING
Site Plan
This is primary drawing used for marking out
the plan on the ground. It represents the location,
orientation and information about the site’s
topography, landscaping utilities, and site work.
ARCHITECTURAL DRAWING
Working Plan
This drawing gives the information of
horizontal dimensions of the building, thickness
of walls, clear spaces inside the building and
column locations. it also shows the openings
required in the building such as doors, windows
and ventilators.
ARCHITECTURAL DRAWING
Section drawings
Section drawings represents the material of
construction to be used, heights and measurement of the
different components of buildings, type of structural
components such as type of slab , etc. It represents the
drawing when the building is cut through a vertical
plane.
B. STRUCTURAL DRAWINGS
Structural drawings can be termed as the
backbone drawing of the building. It consists all
the information about the structural intervention
that are coming on a building. It contains many
type of drawing with very minute details and
description.
STRUCTURAL DRAWINGS
General Note
This is more of a codes and by laws of the
buildings. No drawing is found in this, but the
details of all the structural drawings are mention
in this such as concrete mix, lapping length,
curing time, abbreviation, codes and other work
procedures.
STRUCTURAL DRAWINGS
Excavation Drawing
This drawing represents the footing
excavation dimension, column position, footing
plan and grid lines of column.
Column Layout
This drawing represents the position and
orientation of columns and column reinforcement
details.
STRUCTURAL DRAWINGS
Plinth Beam Layout
This drawing represents the dimensions,
position and section of plinth beam and the details
of reinforcement in plinth beam.
Lintel Beam Layout
This drawing represents the dimensions,
position and section of lintel beam and the details
of reinforcement in lintel beam.
STRUCTURAL DRAWINGS
Roof Beam and Shuttering Layout
This drawing represents the details of reinforcement of
roof beam, its section and shuttering details.
Roof Slab Layout
This drawing represents the details of reinforcement of
roof slab, its section and openings in the roof for various
purpose such as stairs or skylight.
C. ELECTRICAL DRAWING
Electrical drawing represent the details of
electrical fixtures, location of switches, fan, light
and others. It also represents the load calculation,
tapping for electricity, wiring path and other
interventions such as AC and UPS and its
components.
D. PLUMBING DRAWING
Plumbing drawings give the location of
sanitary, piping for water supply system, fixture,
and the process to connect every fixture ..
2. PROPOSED DRAWING
These drawings should demonstrate
how the proposed development would
relate to existing site levels and
neighbouring development.
PROPOSED DRAWING
Level drawings should:
• show a scale bar or a measured dimension.
• state the existing and proposed levels on the site
and where levels differ from that of land
immediately adjoining the site.
PROPOSED DRAWING
Level drawings should:
• be plotted on a plan (scale 1:200 or 1:500), by using spot
ground levels at regular intervals in a grid pattern across
the site.
• specify a fixed and identifiable datum level, usually
“Above Ordnance Datum” (AOD).
• state the finished floor levels of proposed buildings
PROPOSED DRAWING
Section drawings should:
• show a scale bar or a measured dimension
• identify existing and proposed ground levels where
significant cut and fill operations are proposed, or
where slopes in excess of 1 in 20 exist (or will exist)
• show “slices” (cross sections) through buildings,
normally at a scale of 1:50 or 1:100
PROPOSED DRAWING
Section drawings should:
• show “slices” (cross sections) through land,
normally at a scale of 1:200 or 1:500
• be accompanied by a plan showing the points
between which the cross sections have been
taken, which should also indicate the direction
of north
PROPOSED DRAWING
Section drawings should:
• show existing and proposed buildings
within and adjacent to the site
• identify finished floor and ridge levels of
buildings
3. SUBMISSION DRAWING
Submission drawings are used by architects, Site
Engineers or Supervisors and others for a number of
purposes: to develop a design idea into a coherent
proposal, to communicate ideas and concepts, to
convince clients of the merits of a design, to enable a
contractor to construct it, as a record of the completed
work, and to make a record of a building that already
exists.
4. WORKING DRAWING
Working drawings provide dimensioned, graphical
information that can be used; by a contractor to construct
the works, or by suppliers to fabricate components of the
works or to assemble or install components. They may
include architectural drawings, structural drawings, civil
drawings, mechanical drawings, electrical drawings, and
so on.
WORKING DRAWING
Traditionally, working drawings consist of two-
dimensional orthogonal projections of the building or
component they are describing, such as plans, sections and
elevations. These may be drawn to scale by hand, or
prepared using Computer Aided Design (CAD) software.
WORKING DRAWING
Working drawings may include title blocks, dimensions,
notation and symbols. It is important that these are
consistent with industry standards so that their precise
meaning is clear and can be understood. Specification
information can be included on working drawings or in a
separate specification, but information should not be
duplicated as this can become contradictory and may cause
confusion.
