Architectural Technical Detailed Drawings

Architectural technical detailed drawings, also called blueprints, plans or working drawings are documents that specify to a builder or contractor what they are to build. The construction drawings are focused on the shape, dimensions and the appearance of a building. Some designers make detailed construction tender drawings with information typically contained in the drawing specifications such as what kind of material to use, the particular installation requirements, and the quality standards for materials and workmanship.

A typical construction drawing has the following components:

Floor plan: arguably the most fundamental diagram in the blueprint, it is an overhead view that acts as map to show the layout of the house and the arrangement of spaces in the building

Site plan: gives the full scope of work to ensure that the proposed building complies with the local building codes and has access to services such as the sewer lines, water supply and road.

Roof plan: It has a detailed description of the roof, some of the illustrations include the ridges, valleys, and hips. It may also contain. It may also provide information about the kind of roofing material to be used.

Exterior elevation: is the external view of a building seen from one side. Elevations are in essence a 2d representation of the different sides of the building.

Technical drawings play a critical part in the building and construction industry. First, they are the means to obtain approval before commencement of the construction of a new facility. The building control inspects the design of the proposed building to ensure it adheres to local building codes. The design floor plans must be line with the building regulations and adhere to the established quality standards for construction.

Builders use construction drawings as a guide before, during and after the construction process because most technical drawings contain 2D instructions that extensively explain how to construct a given building. Some house plans also contain information about the quality standard and the type of material that is to be used to put up the facility.

The technical drawing also communicates the concepts and ideas of a proposed building to convince potential clients about the merits and need for a design, to have a builder to construct it. A construction drawing is a tangible reason that some people may need to decide if the construction project is worth their investment.
