Drawings
Definition:

A set of drawings is an
organized presentation of
the project.
Sample Projects
Example
• For small projects, working drawings and details can be
integrated in small number of sheets.
Example
• For medium projects, a sufficient number of drawings need
to be developed to cover all the required details.
SITE PLAN
• The site plan should show
the location of the building
in relation to the site
boundaries.
• All landscape elements,
streets and pedestrian
walkways should be
indicated and dimensioned.
• A reference point should
be identified to related the
building to GPS.
PLANS
• All plans should be drawn scale 1;100 showing centerlines,
walls, openings, external dimensions, internal dimensions,
materials, etc.
SECTIONS
• Sections should illustrate vertical information including
levels, materials, dimensions, corresponding centerlines
and details cross-referencing.
ELEVATIONS
• Elevations should illustrate exterior finishing materials,
levels, dimensions, centerlines, and details crossreferencing.
WALL SECTIONS
• Wall sections illustrate
exterior façade design
detailing. They are
extremely important
illustration to ensure the
final appreance of the
design.

Notation of who worked on the drawing, including cjecking
Dates drawings were issued (such as for bid, permit, and

 Dates of revisions
 Architect's seal and signature (when required)
 Copyright information
Drawings

Drawings should also include the basic information required
to orient the user, such as:
 Key plans (showing location of partial plans in relation to
the whole)
 North arrows
 Scales for drawings (graphic scales are normally included
in case drawings are reduced or CAD generated)
Drawings
The Cartooning Process
Most firms lay out the drawings very early in the project.
 To establish roughly how many and what kinds of plans,
sections, elevations, details, schedules, and other graphic
elements will be prepared.
 Scale and size on sheet
 Order
 Interrelationships

Use A4 size paper to develop a rough sketch of your WD set.
Determine the order of drawings and number ( __ of __ )
Sketch by hand the rough size of each drawing on each sheet
Determine the scale needed (for example, plans should be at
1:100)
Convert the real dimensions of the building drawings to the
desired scale and show on your papers
Make sure that all drawing fit on the size sheet plottable area
Label each drawing, include the scale
Add north arrow when appropriate
