CONSTRUCTION DRAWING

Architect and consultants prepare their own sets of drawings, referred to as construction drawings, a project has architectural construction drawings, civil
and structural construction drawings, MEP construction drawings, landscape construction drawings, and so on. Construction drawings are dimensioned drawings (usually computer generated) that fully delineate the building. They consist of floor plans, elevations, sections, schedules, and various large-scale details. The details depict a small portion of the building that cannot be adequately described on smaller-scale plans, elevations, or sections. Construction drawings are the drawings that the construction team uses to build the building. Therefore, they must indicate the geometry, layout, dimensions, types of materials, details of assembling the components, colors and textures, and so on. Construction drawings are generally two-dimensional drawings, but three-dimensional isometrics are sometimes used for complex details. Construction drawings are also used by the contractor to prepare a detailed cost estimate of the project at the time of bidding.
