Architectural Working Drawings

The architectural working drawings together with the specifications are the most important parts of a working plans. Information on the designs, locations, and dimensions of the elements of a building is found on the architectural working drawings while information on the quality of materials and sizes is found in the specifications. A good architectural working drawing gives the contractor the exact information he needs. Therefore, it must be made clear, simple, orderly arranged, and accurately drawn so that scaled measurements will match with the actual structure.

The finished drawings made by the architect, or a draftsman and used by the contractor are called architectural working drawings. The architectural working drawings, together with the specifications and the general conditions, form the legal contract between the owner and the contractor. Since working drawings are the major portion of the contract documents, they should be accurately drawn.

As beginner, it is important that you should be able to understand, identify tools and materials used in working drawings and fully understand the standard procedure in lay-outing and detailing architectural working plans and drawings.

Technical Terms Encountered In Drafting Site Development Plan

Building Code- are local laws that set standard for structural design within the community.

Master plan- is the designers house or building design based on the needs and wants of his clients.

Corner lot- is a lot with at least two adjacent sides meeting on a corner of two streets.

Inside lot- is a lot surrounded on each side by other lots.

Open lot- is a lot bounded on all sides by streets or pathways.

Property lines- are those lines showing the exactarea of the acquired lot.

Setback- refers to the distance at how far a building can be built within the property lines.

Site Development Plan- is the outline and measurements of the proposed building and its placement on the property.

Site- is an area of land available for construction or the lot on which a building is constructed.

Through lot- is a lot having frontage on two public streets or highways.

Zoning- refers to the legal restrictions on size, location, and type of structures to be built on a designated area.

Site Development Plan

Site Development Plan is the outline and measurements of the proposed building and its placement on the property. This shows the position and the location of the building with property line, setbacks, approaches, grade contours, landscape and other pertinent data in relation to the site. A site development plan is drawn using a scale not smaller than 1:200 meters so that other features found in the plan will not be greatly affected.

SiteAn area of land available for construction or the lot on which a building is constructed. Building site maybe a single lot, a series of lots, or a subdivision. A lot is a piece of ground of specific size. A subdivision is a large tract of land that is being developed.

Planning and Designing

A master plan is defined as the visual presentation of conceptual ideas supported by mathematical calculations aimed at giving convenience and comfort to the users or occupants. Good plans are those that are functional and economical following the principles of Form Follows Functions.

Planning Consideration in Developing the Site:

DISTRIBUTION. Refers to the placement, location and arrangement of each room unit in relation with each other as to function and coordination. One example is the relation between the dining and the kitchen which primarily requires accessibility on food servicing. These areas are interrelated and should not be far from each other. To make the handling of meals easy, the sequence of food preparation should be provided for in the layout of the kitchen and its equipment. Three work areas are necessary: the mixing area, the sink area and the cooking area. Supplies and equipment for use at each work areas should be stored closed at hand. There is a direct path between the work areas, forming the so-called work triangle by which the efficiency of a kitchen can be assessed. The sum of the distances between the work areas should not be less than 3.50 m. and not more than 6.00 m.

ORIENTATION. Refers to the position and direction of the sunrise and the sunset. Many want their bedrooms to face the sunrisewhich is, on the eastern side of the lot. Others, especially those who work at night, prefer their bedrooms located on the west side. The breeze at the site may determine the location of the living room and toilet or bathrooms. The height of the flood waters in the locality should also be considered in determining the distance of the first floor from the ground. This is especially true in low areas. In high locations the floor may be 20 cm. only from the ground level.

SIZES, AREAS and SHAPES.All rooms are intended for human use, therefore, it should be planned according to human scale. Good design always provide ample areas to accommodate furniture, appliances, and other related facilities, including the critical and important lanes or pathways for routinary movements inside the house.

Rule VIII of the New National Building Code under the 2005 Implementing Rules & Regulations (No. 7)Minimum sizes of rooms and their least horizontal dimensions shall be as follows:1. Rooms for human habitation 6.00 sq.m. with at least dimension of 2.00 m.2. Kitchen 3.00 sq.m. with at least dimension of 1.50 m.3. Toilet and Bath 1.20 sq.m. with at least dimension of 0.90 m.

CIRCULATION. Circulation and movement of the occupants inside the building should not be hampered by any obstacles nor be detoured as result of poor planning.

LIGHT and VENTILATION. There is no substitute for a good daylight and fresh natural air entering and circulating inside the building. Artificial lighting and ventilation is very costly to those who cannot afford, others prefer it for maximum comfort regardless of costs.

Rule VIII of the New National Building Code under the 2005 Implementing Rules & Regulations (No. 8)Rooms intended for any use not provided with artificial ventilation shall be provided with a window with a total free area equal to least 10% of the floor area of the room but not less than 1.00 sq.m. Toilet and bathrooms and laundry rooms shall be provided with windows with an area not less than 1/20 of the floor area but not less than 240 sq.mm.Such windows shall open directly to a court, yard, public street or alley or open watercourse.

HEIGHT. A moderate height ceiling allows fresh air circulations, comfortable atmosphere, and preserve aesthetic value of the room. Room with low ceiling has warm atmosphere that requires artificial ventilation.

Rule VIII of the New National Building Code under the 2005 Implementing Rules & Regulations (No. 6)Ceiling Heights:1. Habitable rooms provided with artificial ventilation shall have ceiling heights not less than 2.40 m. For buildings of more than 1 storey, the minimum height of the first storey shall be 2. 70 m., for the second storey, 2.40 m., and for the succeeding storeys, 2.10 m. Above mentioned rooms with natural ventilation shall have ceiling height of not less than 2.70 m.2. Mezzanine floors shall have a clear ceiling height of not less than 1.80 m.above and below it.

LIKE AND DISLIKES OF THE FAMILY MEMBERS. This factor is usually considered when the family is rich and can afford to pay for the services of an architect or draftsman. Before he designs the house, the architect or draftsman has to first interview the members of the family to get information about their interests, hobbies, and the like. From such interviews, he will get to know whether the family wants a library or study room, a social hall, a playroom, a music room, a swimming pool, a carport or garage, servants quarters, a drivers room, a landscaped garden, a balcony, and a roof garden.

Property Lines- are those lines showing the exactarea of the acquired lot.

Setback- refers to the distance at how far a building can be built within the property lines.

Zoning - refers to the legal restrictions on size, location, and type of structures to be built on a designated area.

Zoning Laws

One major area covered by building code is the zoning laws. Zoning laws were developed to keep different areas of a community from interfering with each other. In some cities or towns, separate areas are set aside for specific uses. Examples are residential, commercial, and industrial. These are established and protected by zoning laws.In addition, zoning laws establish standards for construction in different sizes and uses.

One of the first thing an architect must do before designing a building is to read the building codes. The intended use of the building has to be within the limits of zoning laws. Also, the size of the lot must be large enough to meet the requirements.

Building Code

Building Code are local laws that set standard for structural design within the community. This is a collection of local laws that regulate the building of homes and other structures. These legal requirements are intended to protect the safety and health of the people who live and work in the buildings. They regulate restrictions concerning the construction of buildings to provide safety to the occupants.

All constructions in an area must meet the requirements of building codes. Some of the designs and construction features covered by building codes include:

Qualifications of persons who can design building within the area.

Structural design that can be used.

Lot sizes for certain types of buildings.

Types and sizes of materials that can be used.

National Building Code Rules

1. For one-storey wooden or frame house, the height of the floor plan from the ground should not be less than 1.50 m.

2. Walls with window opening should not be less than 2.00 m. from the lot line of fence. In other words, adjacent houses should not be at least 4.00 m. from each other.

3. The front part of a house should not be less than 3.00 m. from the lot line along the street.

4. No windows should be constructed along a wall of a house if this wall is flushed with or exactly on the lot line.


Below are sample shapes for your guide in drawing. Provide yourself with sheets of manila paper, T-square, triangle, pencil and a piece ofpentel pen. You will draw lots of different shapes:

Lot Mensuration and Plotting

Technical Terms Encountered in Lot Mensuration and Planning

Lot - an area usually a small piece of land that has been measured and is considered as a unit used for a particular purpose.Inside lot- is a lot surrounded on each side by other lots.

Through lot- is a lot having frontage on two public streets or highways.

Corner lot-is a lot with at least two adjacent sides meeting on a corner of two streets.

Open lot- is a lot bounded on all sides by streets or pathways.

Percentage of Lot Occupancy:

1. Every building, except those especially mentioned in the building ordinance, shall be limited in its occupancy.

Limitation of Lot Occupancy:

1. To secure natural light and ventilation 2. For better fire protection

Limits of Lot Occupancy:

Technical Terms Encountered In Drafting Floor Plans

Bathroom- is where the toilet and tub or shower are separated for easy installation of pipes.

Bedroom- is a room for sleeping and for taking a rest.

Carport- is a garage consists of a free-standing roof completely separated from the house, or it may be built against the existing walls of the house with one or more of the exterior walls removed.

Garage- is an enclosed structure designed primarily to shelter an automobile.

Kitchen- is the place where foods are prepared.

Livingroom- is the center of the living area in most homes.

Main Entrance- provides access to the house. It is the one through which guests are welcomed. It provides shelter to anyone awaiting entrance.

Service Entrance- provides access to the house through which supplies can be delivered to the service areas.

Floor Plan

Floor plan is the top cross-sectional view of the floor area of a house. The horizontal cutting plane line for this top view passes between the upper and lower window sills or one meter above the floor line. It shows the size and arrangement of the rooms. It also presents the sizes and locations of the stairs, door and windows openings, and partitions and walls. Sometimes it includes the kind of furnishings in each room. However, the materials required for constructing permanent or integral parts of each room such as bedroom closets, kitchen cabinets, etc., should also be accounted for in the bill of materials.

Steps in Drawing Floor Plans1. Layout the position of exterior and interior walls.Refer to Rule VIII of the New National Building Code under the 2005 Implementing Rules & Regulations (No. 7)2. Add the thickness of the walls with a hard pencil (Dont darken the walls at this stage).3. Locate the position of doors and windows by center line and by their width.4. Darken the object lines with an F pencil.5. Add door and window symbols with 2H pencil.6. Add symbols for stairwells.7. Erase extra heavy lines that can be perceive as object lines.8. Draw the outline of the furniture and fixtures.9. Add symbols for any masonry work such as planters if necessary.10. Dimension the drawing.

Rules for Dimensioning Floor Plans

1. Architectural dimension lines are unbroken lines with dimension placed abovethe lines. Arrowheads, dash, small circles and diagonal are used to denote the termination of the dimension line. Arrowheads may also be placed outside the extension lines when the area is too narrow or limited.2. Dimensions should be placed to read from the right or from the bottom of the drawing. The measurements should always be written above the dimension lines.3. Dimension lines are placed about 10 mm. apart. Overall dimensions of the building are placed outside all other dimensions.4. Rooms are dimensioned from the center line of partitions. In some cases, they maybe dimensioned from wall to wall, exclusive of wall thickness.5. In dimensioning stairs, the number of risers is placed on a line with an arrow indicating the direction (up or down).6. Architectural dimensions always refer to the actual size of the building regardless of the scale of the drawing.7. Never crowd dimensions. To free the plan of excessive dimensions, the sizes of doors and windows are given in the door and window schedule. 8. Refrain from double entry dimensions and omit obvious dimensions.

Doors and Windows in Plan

1. Show normally swinging doors at 90 degrees opening.2. Doors swing are shown with light lines and quarter symbols.3. Door type is not illustrated in plan, only in elevation.4. Windows type cannot be explained in plan except for width and location.5. Show sill lines with a lighter line weight than walls, jambs and glass.

Area Planning

In developing any architectural design, the designer should progress logically follow step by step the design process. One key step is to divide the functions of the building into specific areas.In multi-storey buildings, a separate floor plan is drawn for each floor level when the layout of the room is not in each floor. However, when two or more floor levels have the same arrangement and features, one typical floor plan representing all the identical floors will suffice.

Three Major Functional Areas of a House

1. The Living Area2. The Sleeping Area3. The Service Area

Area/room requirements and pointers in planning:

Living Area. This is the center of the living area in most homes. It should be centrally located and should be adjacent to the outside entrance and to the dining area, but the entrance should not lead directly into the living room. This is the area of the home that most strangers or visitors observe. As the name implies, it is here where the family entertains, relaxes, listen to music, watches television, enjoy hobbies, dines and participates in other recreational activities.Recommended sizes should be at least 2.00m x 3.00 small, 3.70 m. x 5.50 m. average or optimum size would be 6.10 x 7.90 m. in rectangular shape.

Sleeping Area. The primary function of the sleeping areais to provide facilities for sleeping and taking rest of the family. The bedroomis usually located in a quite part of the house. Ideal number of rooms for low cost housing should be two bedrooms, masters bedroom and bedroom. Preferably, there should be a toilet and bath in masters bedroom and a built-in cabinets or closets for dressing purposes.

Noise ControlSince noise contributes to fatigue, it is very important to plan minimize if not totally eliminate noise in the sleeping area. The following guides might help you design bedrooms that are quite and restful.

1. The bedroom should be placed in the most quite part of the house, away from major street noise.2. Carpeting or porous walls and ceiling panels help absorb noises.3. Rooms above a bedroom should be carpeted.4. Floor to ceiling draperies help reduce noise.5. The use of double-glazed insulating glasses in windows and sliding doors helps reduce outside noise.6. The windows of an air-conditioned room should be kept closed during hot weather.

Sample BedroomService Area. The service area includes the kitchen, laundry, garage workshops storage room and utility room. Since great number of activities takes place in the service area, it should include facilities for the maintenance and serving the other areas of the house. The function of the living and sleeping areas is greatly dependent upon the efficiency of the service area.

Kitchenis the place where food is prepared.It is connected to the work trianglearea for storage and mixing center, preparation and cleaning center and cooking center. There should be a storage hanging kitchen cabinet witha minimal width of 0.60 meter.

a. Function - The preparation of food is the basic function of the kitchen. It may be used however as dining and as laundry area. The proper placement of appliances, storage cabinets and furniture is important in planning to eliminate wasted motion.

b. Location - Since the kitchen is the core of the service area, it should be located near the service entrance and near the waste-disposal area. The childrens play area should be visible from the kitchen and must be adjacent to the dining area and outdoor eating areas.

Sample Kitchen

The Work Triangle

From the work sequences described above, it will be observe that there are three activities which relate to three main appliances the refrigerator, the sink and the gas range or stove. The relationship of these three is commonly referred to as the work triangle.

Types of kitchen:

A.U-Shaped Kitchen.

B.L-Shaped Type:

C. Corridor Type:

Dining Area. This is the area where greatly depend on eating habits of the occupants. This should be located between the living room and kitchen. Its size and shape are determined by the size of the family.

Sample Dining Area

Bathroom. Bathroom is where the toilet and tub or shower is located to save economically in plumbing. As much as possible the toilet must be situated near the kitchen. The bath and toilet must be near the bedrooms, accessible to the living room even without passing through other rooms. The toilet and bath are generally located between bedrooms. In a two-storey residential house, the bedrooms, toilet, and bath are often located on the second floor. In this case, the stair must go up from the living room or hall if there is any. The stair is generally L or U-shaped and has a landing.

Bathroom Doors and Windows. Bathroom door could be small as 55-60 cm.except for utility bathroom which requires not less than 70. cm. wide to allowpassage of equipment as required. In general, bathroom wall contains only one door.

Entrances. Entrance is divided into several different types; the main entrance,theserviceentrance, and the special- purpose entrance. The entrance is composed of an outside waiting area like the porch, marquee or lanai and an insidewaiting area like foyer or entrance hall. It provides for and controls the flow of traffic into and out of a building.

The main entrance provides access to the house. It is the one through which guests are welcomed and from which all major traffic patterns radiate. The main entrance should be readily identifiable. It should provide shelter to anyone who is waiting at the entrance.

The service entrance provides access to the house through which supplies can be delivered to the service areas going through other parts of the house. It should also provides access to parts of the service area like the garage, laundry or workshop.

The special-purpose entrances and exits do not provide for outside traffic. Instead they provide for movement from the inside living area of the house to the outside living areas. A sliding door from the living area to the patio is a special-purpose entrance. It is not an entrance through which street, drive, or sidewalk traffic would have an access.

Garage and Carports

A garageis an enclosed structure designed primarily to shelter an automobile. It maybe used for many secondary purposes as a workshop, as a laundry, or for storage space. It is usually attached to the house in some manner to provide a sheltered entry.

A carport is a garage with one or more of the exterior walls removed. It may consist of a free-standing roof completely separate from the house, or it may be built against the existing walls of the house.

Use of Appropriate Scale in Drawing a Floor Plan

Drafting Scales

The architectural draftsman normally uses an architects scale for reducing and enlarging the size or measurement of an object. There are two system of measurement, namely, Metric system and English system.

Sample Metric Scale

Architectural Use of Metric SystemAlways remember that the smallest the number used in metric scale, the bigger the size in the triangular scale, whereas, the largest the number used, the smallest size of actual measurement.

1:05 m.1: 100 m.1:10 m.1: 200 m.1:20 m.1: 300 m.1: 30 m. 1: 400 m.1: 40 m.1: 500 m.1: 50 m.1: 600 m.1:75 m.1:1000m.

Note: The scale of 1:1000 m. or more is being used in Lot Plan and other topographical drawings.

Full size scaleThe 1:1 is a full size scale and each division measures 1 mm. in width with the numbering of the calibrations at 10mm intervals. This same scale is convenient forratios of 1:10, 1:100, and 1:1000

Half size ScaleThe 1:2 is one-half size scale and each division is equals to 2 mm. with the calibration numbering at 20-unit intervals. In addition, this scale is convenient for ratios of 1:20, 1:200, and 1:2000.

Architectural Use of metric ScaleUSERATIOCOMPARISON TO 1 METER

CITY MAP1:25001:12500.4 mm. equals to 1 M.0.8 mm. equals to 1 M.

After gaining knowledge on the appropriate use of scale in drawing,it is important for you to know about some architectural drafting design standards, so brace yourself for this new experience.

Architectural Drafting Design Standards

Legal provisions:

Section 806 of the National Building Code (NBC). Size and Dimension of Rooms:

a. Room for human habitations should be 6.00 square meters with at least a dimension of 2.00 meters.b. Kitchens should be 3.00 square meters with at least a dimension of 1.50 meters.c. Bath & Toilet 1.20 square meters with at least dimension of 0.90 meters.

Section 1207. Stairs, Exit, and Occupant Loads.

Width and Height.Every required exit doorway shall have a size to permit the installation of a door not less than 900 mm./90 cm. in width and not less than 2.00 meters in height.

Stairways width. Stairway serving an occupant load of more than 50 shall not be less than 1.10 meters. While stairway serving an occupant load of 50 or less shall be 900 millimeters wide.

Rise and run. The rise of every step in a stairway shall not exceed 200 millimeters and the run shall not be less than 250 millimeters.

Other guidelines must be observed in the arrangement of rooms in drawing floor plan:

1. Built-in cabinets or closets are usually found in the bedrooms, kitchen, and dining room. Open shelves may be constructed in the kitchen and dining room.

2. In some one-storey houses, the bedrooms toilet, and bath are elevated from the other rooms. In this case, the stairs leading to these rooms must be indicated on the floor plan. Two or three steps, each has 18 cm. or 19 cm. high from each other and 25 cm wide, may be shown in the plan. All these measurements must be drawn to scale.

3. Since most of the time is spent by the members of a family in the bedrooms at home, these rooms must be located far from noise, dust, and polluted air coming from garbage pits or from the kitchens and toilets of the neighboring houses.

4. If furniture and house appliances are to be shown in each room, thesefurnishings should be drawn on the same scale in the floor plan.

5. If the floor plan will be traced on tracing paper in order to indicate the electrical or water connections, these furnishings should not be shown on the tracing.

6. In presentation drawings, the landscaping around the floor plan may beadded.

7. It is on the floor plan where the cutting plane lines for at least two full-sectional elevations (cross and longitudinal) are indicated. These sectional elevations are usually labeled as Section A-A and Section B-B, depending on the capital letter used at the extremities of the cutting plane lines. These cutting plane lines need not be continuous or straight. They are often drawn in colored ink. ( see illustration)

8. Window and Door symbols should be indicated in the outer walls of the floor plan opposite to door and window openings to determine the total number and specification.

Entrance and Exit. There shall be at least one entrance and another one for exit. Windows opening should be 10% of the total floor square area according to the National Building Code.

Example:

Bedroom size of 3.00m. x 4.00 m. = 12 square meters x 10% = 1.20m. window width opening.

Concrete Hollow Blocks (CHB) for Walling and PartitionsSizes:

CHB - 0.10 T x 0.40 W. x 0.20 H. (4 T x 16W x 8H) is used for interior walls or sometimes exterior wall with no heavy loads.

CHB - 0.15 x 0.20 x 0.40 (6 x 8 x 16) is used for exterior wall sometimes forinterior wall.

Plastering of CHB wall should not be less than 0.015 mm. or not more than to 0.05 cm in thickness.

Note:In lay outing floor plan walls, it should be scaled with same sizes of all actual materials to be used. If the occupancy wants to use 0.10 x 0.20 x 0.40 CHB plus plastering of 0.015 mm thickness on both side walls, the total thickness of the wall is 0.13 cm. On the other hand, intends to use 0.15 x 0.20 x 0.40 CHB plus plastering of 0.015 mm thickness on both sides a total average is 0.018 cm. since it is very hard to layout the accurate scale of 0.18 wall thickness, so most draftsman prefer to use 0.20 cm. wall in lay outing floor plan.

Wall openings:

Entrance door- is preferably with 0.90 cm. to 1.00 m. width.

Bedroom door- has a minimum width of 0.80 cm.

Toilet and Bath door- have a minimum width of 0.70 cm. to 0.80 cm.

Minimal width of windows- is preferably 0.60 cm. (Please refer to Schedule of Doors and Windows).


A. Direction:Choose the letter of the best answer and write it on a separate sheet of paper.

1. It is the standard thickness of wall in meter using 4 x 16 x 8 CHB . a. 0. 20 m.b. 0.10 m. c. 0.18 m. d. 0.13 m.

2. Standard thickness of wall in meter using 6 x 16 x 8 CHB. a. 0. 20 m.b. 0.10 m. c. 0.20 m.d. 0.18 m.

3. It is the standard size of an entrance door opening. a. 0.90 m. b. 0.80 m.c. 0.75 m. d. 1.00 m.

4. They are overhang roof lines in hidden lines form of floor plan. a. dormer b. canopy c. eave line d. shed line

5. It is a minimum area of kitchen.a. 4.00 sq.m. b. 3.00 sq.m. c. 5.00 sq.m. d. 7.00 sq.m.

B.Direction: Draw the symbols of the following:

Door/Window

Symbol

6. Interior Door

7. Swinging Door

8. Double Door

9. Accordion Door

10. Bay Window


Directions: Draw a floorplan by following the steps and the given requirements and specifications below.

1. Prepare the needed tools and materials.

2. Construct the wall thickness. Use 0.15cm. CHB for the major walls. Start from the center of the wall.

3. Divide the floor area to other areas of the house. Use a 10 cm interior wall partitions. Compute each area of the house, then check the total floor area.

4. Lay out the position of doors and windows by center line and by their widths with a 4H pencil. The standard width of doors is 90-95 centimeters like the main entrance door. While 80 centimeters for bedrooms and service doors and 0 .75 centimeters for toilet and bath doors.

5. Label each part of the floor plan. Draw the kitchen and apply the work triangle principle in designing the kitchen. Draft the toilet and bath draw the fixtures properly.

6. Lay-out extension lines. Use any dimension limits and lay out dimensions legibly and never repeat dimensions.

7. Draw the schedule of doors and windows. Name the doors and windows by sizes.

Finally, draw the roof line of the floor plan.

Note: Your output will be evaluated according to the following criteria below. Your teacher will determine the appropriate percentages across criteria.
