- How are windows and doors identified?Provide and example of each. Is there arationale to their numbering? What do thesenumbers mean? Can you find the answersomewhere in the drawings?

Door:

Window:

Yes, it can be found in general legend.

- Illustrate how floor levels are noted on theplan?

Drawing title

For example: ERC Building, Level Three

- Are some areas of the drawing clouded? Why?

Yes, there are some areas of the drawingclouded, It means these areas had changed.

3 DRAWING CONTENT – ELEVATIONS

- What type of information is shown in thiselevation? How does it differ from theinformation shown on the plan?

A more detail drawing, more specificinformation.

The scale has changed from 1:100 to 1:20.

- Are dimensions shown? If so, how do theydiffer from the dimensions on the plan?Provide an example of the dimensions as theyrelate to the elevation.

Yes, It shows dimension as it provides height.

- What types of levels are shown on theelevations? Illustrate how levels are shown inrelation to the elevation.

FFL: Finished Floor Level

In meter (refer to the sea level)

- Is there a grid? If so, how / where is it shown?

No, there isn’t.

- Is there a legend? What does it identify andhow is it used?

Yes, it is. It identifies symbol meanings and itgives people a guide.

- What types of information on the elevationsare expressed using words? Illustrate how thisis done.

The dimensions( detail information). Forexampe:

- Illustrate how the doors and windows areidentified on the elevations.

Door: Window:

- Are any parts of the elevation clouded? Why?

No.because this drawing issue, including allclouded revisions tagged as this revision, isrevised for all previous trade packagespreviously issued. (see in the notes)

- Illustrate where this elevation is located inrelation to the plan?

4 DRAWING CONTENT – SECTIONS

- What type of information is shown in thissection? How does it differ from theinformation shown on the plan and elevation?

-The type of materials

-The open direction of doors and windows

-The clouded areas

-The level information (FFL RL RCL)

-The dimensions

The scale of section is the same as theplan,but gives more details than it whileelevation is more specific than section andplan.

- Are dimensions shown? If so, how do theydiffer from the dimensions on the elevation?

Yes, they are. Because the scale is differentbetween the elevation and the section soelevation is more specific.

- What types of information on the sections areexpressed using words? Illustrate how this isdone.

-Dimension

-Materals

-How these structures work

For example:

- Illustrate how the section drawingdifferentiates between building elements thatare cut through and those that are shown inelevation (beyond).

Section shows the whole cross surface andprovide a clear relationship between buildingelement whereas elevation shows the front

view of the building. Otherwise because ofthe scale elevation is more specific.

- Provide examples of how different materialsare shown on the sections.

- Find where this section is located on theplans.

This section is

So on the plan:

5 DRAWING CONTENT – DETAILS

- What sorts of things are detailed?

-Section structures and materials.

-the grid lines.(eg:east of grid line “F”)

- Are the details compressed using break lines?Why?

No.

- Provide examples of how different materialsare shown on drawings at this scale.

- Find the locations of these details on theplans, elevations and sections.
