As an architectural design firm, the final phase of project requirements entail converting design and layout drawings into working architectural construction documents. ‘Issue for Construction’ drawings offer highly detailed information; information needed to obtain building permits and the information that gives the building contractor clear instructions pertaining to all preliminary site work needed, temporary power needs, and the order of structural erection of the building’s exterior and interior. Additionally, each installed system from plumbing, HVAC, and electrical, all require detailed drawings to guide the tradesmen in their daily work:
- Floor plans with detailed dimensions of all structural elements and equipment
- Elevations detailing all floor and ceiling heights, and exterior/interior finishes
- Sections detailing wall construction and systems wall penetrations
- Reflective Ceiling to detail ceiling and lighting details
- Finish plans which call-out all interior decorating features
- Power plans show all electrical equipment, power and data outlets
- Schedules that specify detailed information of all building components
While these types of drawings make up the majority of a construction package, many other drawings may be included, depending on the type of structure and installed systems, such as full curtain wall shop drawings package and fire protection life safety details. This final phase of the engineering process, if documented correctly will cause the construction of the building to progress smoothly, saving the owner costs due to delays, and adding to your firm’s reputation for dedication and thought to completion.
The more exacting your architectural construction documents are, the faster the process of being approved for building permits will move. There is a large amount of detailed information needed to correctly construct buildings; don’t hesitate of seek the help of an expert service that can assist in organizing and documenting your construction issue drawings.
