PREFACE

This Standard was prepared by the Joint Standards Australia/Standards New Zealand

Committee ME-072, Technical Drawing, to supersede AS 1100.301—1985, Technical

Drawing, Part 301: Architectural drawing, and AS 1100.301 Suppl 1—1986, Architectural

drawings (Supplement to AS 1100.301—1985).

This Standard incorporates Amendment No. 1 (May 2011). The changes required by the

Amendment are indicated in the text by a marginal bar and amendment number against the

clause, note, table, figure or part thereof affected.

The objective of this Standard is to provide architects, builders, drafting officers and others

in the building industry with a common method for the representation of buildings and their

components to enable the preparation and unambiguous interpretation of architectural

drawings.

This Standard is Part 301 of a series dealing with technical drawings, which is comprised of

the following:

AS

1100 Technical drawing

1100.101 Part 101: General principles

1100.201 Part 201: Mechanical engineering drawing

1100.401 Part 401: Engineering survey and engineering survey design drawing

1100.501 Part 501: Structural engineering drawing

Reference to AS 1100.101 is required for the source, definition and basic requirements of

some of the contents of this Standard.

In the preparation of this Standard, the committee took account of the recommendations of

the International Organization for Standardization.

Acknowledgment is made of the example drawings provided by a number of students in the

Faculty of Design, Architecture and Building at the University of Technology, Sydney.

The 2008 edition of AS 1100.301 outlined differences in practice between Australia and

New Zealand in the conventions for representing hinged doors and windows. That revised

convention for Australia was chosen because it is commonly used in some overseas

countries. However, this change in convention has not been accepted by the Australian

community. Consequently, the convention in Australia for representing hinged doors and

windows will now revert to that which existed prior to the 2008 edition of AS 1100.301 and

as was shown in AS 1100.301—1985 and its supplement AS 1100.301 Supp 1—1986.

There is no change to the New Zealand convention. A single convention now applies to

both Australia and New Zealand.

Due to these changes, where necessary and especially with plans and/or documents that did

or do relate to AS 1100.301—2008, systems should be put in place, in a timely manner, so

as to avoid any misunderstanding when interpreting those or subsequent plans and/or

documents.

At present, there is no convention for hinged windows and doors in International Standards.

Many regions of the world have historically developed their own nomenclature, conventions

and symbols that relate to architectural drawings and building works. It is thought that due

to such a situation, a worldwide International Standard covering such items will not be

possible and that regional or national areas will continue to use their own nomenclature,

conventions and symbols.

Part 301: Architectural drawing

S E C T I O N 1 S C O P E A N D G E N E R A L

1.1 SCOPE

This Standard sets out requirements and recommendations for architectural drawing

practice. It is complementary to AS 1100.101.

This Standard indicates methods of presenting drawings of architectural work, before,

during and after the construction period.

The Standard includes information on abbreviations (additional to those in AS 1100.101),

the layout of drawing sheets, line conventions and conventions for the cross-referencing of

drawings, coordinates and grids.

NOTE: Examples of drawings are given in Appendix C.

1.2 APPLICATION

The principles given in this Standard are intended for adoption by architects, engineers,

drafters and builders in both Government agencies and private enterprise throughout

Australia.

The Standard is intended as a basis for common practice and consistency of application,

upon which technical organizations can base their own detailed rules or manuals for the

preparation and presentation of drafting work.

The application of this Standard may require reference to AS 1100.201, AS 1100.401

AS 1101.501 and AS/NZS 1102.111.

1.4 DEFINITIONS

For the purpose of this Standard, the definitions given in AS 1100.101, and those below

apply:

1.4.1 Detail

Auxiliary view removed from its true projected position in order to provide added clarity. It

may be drawn as a full or partial view and the scale may be the same as that of the main

view or larger.

NOTE: Alternative term in AS 1100.101 is ‘removed view’.

1.4.2 Elevation

The projection on a vertical plane of any object, such as a building or component, viewed at

right angles to the plane of projection.

NOTE: Alternative terms in AS 1100.101 are ‘side, front and rear view’.

1.4.3 Job datum

during the course of a job, from which the required levels of the parts of a building or its

site can be readily measured during construction.

1.4.4 Level

The height or depth of an object or point related to a specified datum.

NOTE: Where possible, this datum should be the Australian Height Datum or the New Zealand

Height Datum of Mean Sea Level.

1.4.5 Plan

The horizontal section or projection of any object, such as a building, or the projection on a

horizontal plane of a site, building or component, viewed from above at right angles to the

plane of section or projection.

NOTE: Alternative term in AS 1100.101 is ‘top view’.

1.4.6 Reduced level (RL)

A level related to a nominated datum.

1.4.7 Reflected plan

The plan of a ceiling or the like, viewed from above as if reflected by the upper surface of a

horizontal plane of section below the ceiling.

1.4.8 Section

The view of an object at the cutting plane, which may typically include that detail beyond

the cutting plane.

1.5 CLASSIFICATION OF DOCUMENTS

1.5.1 General

For clarity in communication and to enable information to be found quickly, documents

www.standards.org.au © Standards Australia

Each document should contain only information that is appropriate to its category.

Drawings should not contain information which can be better conveyed by schedules or

specifications, and vice versa.

1.5.2 Document classification

1.5.2.1 Types

For the purpose of classification, documents may be identified as ‘drawings’ or ‘other

documents’, as outlined in Clauses 1.5.2.2 and 1.5.2.3.

1.5.2.2 Drawings

Drawings are classified as follows:

(a) Drawings at design stage These drawings may also be referred to as concept

drawings. Design (or concept) drawings are as follows:

(i) Schematic drawing A preliminary design drawing, sketch or diagram showing,

in outline form, the designer’s general intention.

(ii) Development drawing A design drawing developed to show the building and

site as envisaged by the designer and from which production drawings can be

produced.

NOTE: These drawings are intended for client decision-making and are non-technical.

(b) Drawings at production stage Production stage drawings are as follows:

(i) Location drawing A drawing produced in order to—

(A) gain an overall picture of the layout and shape of the building;

(B) determine setting-out dimensions for the building as a whole;

(C) locate and identify the spaces and parts of the building, e.g. rooms, doors,

cladding panels, drainage; and

(D) pick up references that lead to more specific information, particularly

about junctions between the parts of the building.

Each group of location drawings will almost always include site plans, floor

plans, elevations, sections and very often, drainage plans, but there may be

occasions where further categories such as joist layouts, reflected ceiling plans

or the enlargement of complex areas may be necessary.

The location drawings may also be commonly referred to as architectural

drawings, especially in the residential construction industry.

(ii) Construction (or structural) detail drawing A drawing to show details

necessary for the construction phase of the project. Such drawings show how a

given item relates to the other items around it (for example, detailed brickwork

layout for feature brickwork, sheet flooring layout).

(iii) Component drawing A drawing to show the information necessary for the

manufacture and application of components. Information on basic sizes, and

system or performance data are often also shown.

(iv) Assembly drawing A drawing to show in detail the relationship of buildings

and junctions in and between elements and components.

1.5.2.3 Other documents

Other documents identified at production stage are as follows:

(a) Specification A precise description of materials and workmanship of a project, or

parts thereof, that are not shown on drawings or in schedules.

(b) Schedule Tabulated information on a range of similar items differing in detail, such

as doors and windows.

(c) Bill or schedule of quantities A complete listing of the quantities of material, labour

and any other items required to carry out a project, based on the specification,

drawings and schedules.

(d) Engineering specifications and/or other reports may be required to allow the proposed

construction to proceed effectively.

(e) Other documents that may be required by statutory authorities or that clarify the

drawings, specifications, other reports as mentioned above or that may assist with the

construction process. Such documents may not be required on all projects (for

example, energy efficiency certificates and details to be considered in relation to

Occupational Health and Safety).

1.5.2.4 Appendices to drawings

The amount of information that the designer may want to put on a given drawing may not

physically fit on the drawing sheet. The designer may also wish to avoid making the

drawing too cluttered with text; an appendix to such a drawing may be used as required by

the designer.

Where an appendix is used, it may be placed at the back of the drawing sheets or

immediately behind the relevant drawing (within the collection of drawing sheets).

Where details or notes applicable to any drawing are on a separate sheet (i.e. an Appendix),

the drawing concerned shall clearly show that an appendix applies to that drawing. This

may be indicated by a note located in the bottom section of the drawing sheet. In addition,

the appendix sheet shall have a clear reference back to the relevant drawing sheet. The

reference on the appendix (referring to a particular drawing sheet) shall be clearly

discernible and located in the bottom section of the appendix sheet.

2.1 PAPER SIZE

The dimensions of the paper sheets upon which the drawings are to be drawn or printed are

to be determined by the person doing the drawing. In making such a decision, various

relevant issues should be considered (for example, the client’s requirements; the size and

complexity of the drawings to be done; the end use of the drawings; the requirements of

various statutory authorities).

2.2 DIMENSIONING

Units and methods used in dimensioning of drawings shall be in accordance with

AS 1100.101 and AS ISO 1000. Dimensions may be indicated in accordance with the

conventions in Figure 2.1.

2.10 DESIGNATION AND CODING OF SPACES AND COMPONENTS

2.10.1 General

Rooms or enclosed spaces, components, units of equipment and other items may be

numbered to facilitate identification, both on drawings and on schedules.

2.10.2 Sequence of numbering

The numbering or referencing should follow a logical sequence, the method adopted being

dependent on the nature of the job. Generally, numbering should proceed clockwise.

2.10.3 Designation of levels

Where the use of conventional terminology, e.g. basement, ground floor, first floor and the

like, could be confusing, building levels should be numbered from the lowest level

(Level 1) upwards. Special levels, such as lobbies at different levels, should be clearly

noted against the floor number.

2.10.4 Designation of rooms and spaces

A numerical sequence starting with 1 should be used to designate rooms and other

important spaces on each level. Small cupboards should not be given a separate number but

should be allocated the number of the room in which they are situated followed by an

appropriate suffix.

Stairs, ducts, shafts and the like, which are continuous through two or more levels should be

given the same number on each level with an appropriate distinguishing name or letter

prefix (e.g. Stair 3 or S3).

In all documentation, the room or space reference should be identified by prefixing it with

the level number on which it occurs and a dot, allowing sufficient digits for identification of

all rooms and spaces. Thus, where there are between 10 and 99 rooms—

2.08 means level 2, room 8, (not level 20, room 8)

2.12 means level 2, room 12

10.01 means level 10, room 1.

2.10.5 Identification of components

Where appropriate, suitable identification may be allocated to each class of component or

item of equipment. The nomenclature adopted shall be clearly stated both on drawings and

on schedules. Numbering within each class should be consecutive, starting from 1.

Additionally, a type number or letter may be shown if this is desired. Numbering may start

from 1 on each floor or may be consecutive for the whole building, as convenient.

When reference is made to a component or item of equipment other than on the plan on

which it is shown, the appropriate level number should precede the reference, as for spaces

(see Clause 2.10.4) (e.g. 2.S3 indicating level 2 stair S3).

2.10.6 Identification of windows and doors

Windows and doors shall be cross-referenced to drawings or schedules as shown in

Appendix B, Item (e).

3.1 EXPRESSION OF LEVELS

3.1.1 Method of showing a level on a plan view

Levels should be expressed to the nearest multiple of 5 mm or 0.005 m and the numerals for

the required level should be enclosed in a rectangular box. Where the level of an existing

feature is to be varied, the existing level should be placed directly above the box containing

the required level as follows:

52 045

53 540

Where there is a possibility that levels might be confused with other numerals on a drawing,

(e.g. room numbers, linear dimensions or grid references), the use of the prefix RL (reduced

level) or FFL (finished floor level), as applicable, is recommended as follows:

RL 53 540

Where it is not clear as to the limits of the given reduced level, those limits should be

clearly defined. Those limits may be defined in various ways (e.g. as defined by reference

lines; as defined by test on the drawing or in an appendix).

3.1.2 Alternative methods of showing a level on a plan view

There are three general methods for the indication of levels on plan views, as follows:

(a) Job datum level The job datum level is indicated by the symbol followed by the

numerals for that level as follows:

100 000

The position of the job datum should be clearly marked on site plans together with a

short description and its assumed level which should be such that all of the reduced

levels specified for a given job will be positive numbers.

(b) Spot levels Spot levels are used to indicate the required or existing level for a

specific point or limited area and consist of the symbol + placed at the exact spot to

which the level applies, followed by the numerals for the proposed or existing level as

follows:

52 045

+ 52 045, or + 53 540 or + 53 540

(c) Contour lines Contour lines are used to indicate the slope and shape of the ground

surface. They shall be drawn to pass through all points on the site having the same

RLs. The RL represented is placed at the end of each line at the site boundary, or in

the case of large sites, may be placed at intermediate points in or on the line.

The type of line, in accordance with AS 1100.101, shall be as follows:

(i) For existing surface, to remain unchanged................................continuous thin.

(ii) For existing surface, to be changed ................................................dashed thin.

(iii) For required finished surface ...................................................continuous thin.

3.1.3 Levels on section or elevation

Levels, existing or proposed, should be projected clear of the detail by means of an

extension line and indicated as shown in Figure 3.1. A box is not required when a level is

written on such a line drawn in elevation.

NOTE: Levels should be to SFL or FFL

FIGURE 3.1 INDICATION OF LEVEL ON SECTION

3.2 EXPRESSION OF SLOPE

For the specification of vertical angles that are capable of being established on a site by

means of simple measuring devices, the slope (gradient, pitch, fall or incline) of surfaces,

such as roofs, gutters, ramps and the like should be expressed in the form of a numerical

ratio Y:X, where Y is the vertical dimension and X is the horizontal dimension of a right-

angled triangle, the hypotenuse of which is the slope (see Figure 3.2).

For convention, the vertical dimension will always form the first part of the ratio.

Thus for slopes flatter than 1:1, the first number will be unity (e.g. 1:20 and for slopes

steeper than 1:1), the second number will be unity (e.g. 5:1).

The use of angular measurement for slopes in degrees or radians is acceptable in certain

cases where a higher degree of accuracy is required.

4.1 GENERAL

This Section provides architectural drawing conventions. The scale of drawn items will

affect the quantity of detail shown. Detail appropriate to the scale should be provided.

The conventions shown here are mostly suitable for 1:100 scale. For windows and doors,

the outer lines on elevations indicate the frame. Lines inside window and door outer lines

shall be continuous thin, unless stated otherwise.

All conventions for external doors and windows are viewed from the exterior unless stated

otherwise. Internal doors and windows should be shown with the direction of viewing

noted. The conventions shown in this Section are typical of a range of applications.

Conventions shown may be combined or used in a different context as long as the meaning

of the convention is maintained. An example would be a style of door being used as a

window.

5.1 HATCHING

Hatching or symbolic representation of material as shown herein may not always be

necessary and at smaller scales may be impossible. Hatching is time-consuming and need

only be used where confusion could otherwise exist.

When hatching is used, it shall be in accordance with Table 5.1.

Where new work and existing work are shown side by side on a drawing, the new work

shall be clearly identified. The existing work may be either shaded or drawn with thin lines,

as appropriate.

Hatching may be used without colour and vice versa.

5.2 COLOURING

When colouring is used to assist in the identification of materials, it should be in

accordance with Table 5.1.

Colour may be used without hatching and vice versa.

6.1 GENERAL

This Section provides rules for the representation of modular sizes, lines and grids on

construction drawings. The basic module M is 100 mm.

Generally, modular sizes should be used on design drawings and construction and work

sizes should be used on production drawings.

Multimodular grids may be added, to a limited extent, on construction drawings for

manufacturing and construction for orientation and location. If necessary, the drawings

should have a note indicating that modular sizes are being used.

6.2 DESIGNATIONS OF MODULAR SIZES

6.2.1 General

Drawings with sizes indicated in modules (instead of in millimetres or metres) should have

a clear note explaining that this is the case.

6.2.2 Designations

The designations of modular sizes are as follows—

Modular: n × M

Basic module: M

Multimodules: 3M, 6M, 12M

Modular sizes: 10M

Multimodular sizes: 10 × 3M, 5 × 6M

Non-modular, if needed: M

6.3 REPRESENTATION OF MODULAR LINES AND SIZES

6.3.1 Modular and multimodular lines

Modular and multimodular lines shall be drawn using a continuous line. The lowest level

shall be drawn using a continuous thin line (see Figure 6.1).

6.3.2 Axial position

Where necessary for reasons of clarity, a modular line in an axial position may be indicated

by a chain thin line (see Figure 6.6).

6.3.3 Multimodular grid lines

Where necessary for identification purposes, multimodular grid lines shall be terminated

with a circle drawn with a thin line (see Figure 2.2(a)).

The line may be designated by a reference inside the circle (see Figure 6.6).

6.3.4 Terminations

The sizes of terminations (e.g. arrowheads and oblique lines) shall be the same for single

and modular sizes (see Figure 6.7).

6.4 REPRESENTATION OF MODULAR GRIDS

6.4.1 Modular lines

Modular grids shall be drawn with modular lines.

Modular grids with different line intervals that are superimposed may be clarified by using

a continuous thin line for the smallest interval, a continuous thick line for the next largest

interval, and so on (see Figure 6.1).

A1 DIMENSIONING BY COORDINATES

Dimensioning by coordinates can be used where a building or structure is so set out that the

faces or centre-lines of its elements coincide with, or can be related to, the intersection

points and lines of a regularly spaced three-dimensional grid. The elements can be located

and dimensioned in relation to a point of origin by a system of Cartesian coordinates. The

origin should be external to the space occupied by the site or structure and it should be

capable of being physically established. Only points on the positive sides of the x, y and z

axes should be used.

In this system, the coordinates of a point on plan view shall be indicated by the relevant

figures (in x, y sequence) enclosed in brackets and placed at the right hand side of the point

to which they refer. The height of a point on elevational views (i.e. on the z axis) shall be

shown by means of a horizontal grid line, terminating with a circle and the grid reference

height above the point of origin prefixed by the letter ‘z’.

A2 USE OF GRIDS

A2.1 General

A network of lines or planes may be used for reference on a drawing or on a site. Its use

may be for sheet reference only or for actual setting out of the work on the site.

Grids usually consist of straight lines at set distances apart. They can vary from linear to

three-dimensional reference.

A2.2 Types of grid

A2.2.1 Sheet reference grid

See AS 1100.101.

A2.2.2 Planning grid

A grid used for layout and planning. Often advantageous where prefabricated sections form

a repeated module.

A2.2.3 Structural grid

A grid used for locating structures. Planning and structural grids should be related to

preferred dimensions where possible. They need not necessarily be to the same module, or

even be increments of each other in a simple mathematical relationship.

The grid should be drawn on the most stable paper or plastic sheet available so that when it

is used as an underlay, successive floor plans or levels can be accurately drawn.

Generally, grid lines pass through column centres both ways except where the column, duct

or lift shaft face is critical, in which case the grid line may coincide with that face. The grid

plan is usually determined at the lowest level and any changes in column locations at upper

levels are shown on it. The grid plan dimensions become the basis for all other work on the

drawing.

The grid is repeated on all subsequent drawings (with any necessary adjustment of scale)

and forms the base to which all plan dimensions are related.

A2.2.4 Reference grid

A grid used for reference only. It may be to any selected dimension and the lines need not

necessarily be equally spaced. They can be regular or tartan pattern, to suit the function

required.

A2.2.5 Modular grid

A grid used where a building method using a module is adopted. It may be two-dimensional

or three-dimensional grid, based on the module, and may be used to combine the functions

of planning, structural and reference grids. For representation of modular grids see

Section 6.

A2.3 Grid notation

Different methods of grid notation have previously existed.

The method used should be consistent throughout a project. Either of the following methods

is recommended:

(a) When completely defining the location of points by their distance from the origin in

three dimensions, use x, y, z coordinates.

(b) When using a two-dimensional structural grid (see AS 1100.501), use letters for lines

running down the sheet and numbers for lines running across the sheet.
