Drawing sets

• Cover sheet. This will contain the project name, the architect's name, address, and contact information, the project location, and the date. This page is very similar to the cover of a book.

Plan Index

• Index of plan sheets (and sometimes their contents). It also will include an abbreviation key, a scale bar with the plan scale indicated, and occasionally design notes.

Location Plan

• Area map, with an enlarged location map, usually giving enough information to locate

the project site from nearby towns or highways. This sheet is not found in all sets

of plans.

Site Plans• These pages usually are numbered starting with a "C", such

as Sheet "C 001", "C 002". This will often contain several sheets, showing:

• Topographical Information. This will indicate to the builder the topography (slopes or flatness) of the site.

• Demolition plan. This sheet (or sheets) will show the structures or features which will be demolished on the site prior to grading for construction. It will have trees or other items which are to remain noted in the keynotes.

• Site utility plans. This sheet (sheets) will indicate the location of existing underground utilities, so that they can be protected during excavation and construction.

Architectural Sheets

• These sheets will usually be numbered "A", such as "A 001". These sheets will describe and give measurements for the basic footprint of the building. These plan sheets should include the following.

Architectural Sheets

• Floor plans. – Showing the location of the walls of the building, and identify

components like doors, windows, bathrooms, and other elements. – There will be dimensions noted as distances between, or from

center to center of walls, width of openings for windows and doors, and changes in floor elevations, if the floor is multilevel.

– Floor plans consist of various levels of detail depending on the stage of the project. At stage D (planning) drawings may show only the major features of the space. At a tender stage, drawings will be more detailed, illustrating all features of the space at a larger scale to allow a contractor to price the job.

Architectural Sheets

• Ceiling plans. Here, the architect will show the types, heights, and other feature of ceilings in different locations in the building.

• Roof framing plan. These pages will indicate the layout for joists, rafters, trusses, bar joists, or other roof framing members, as well as decking and roofing details.

• Finish schedule. This is usually a table listing the different finishes in each individual room. It should list paint colors for each wall, flooring type and color, ceiling height, type, and color, wall base, and other notes and details for constructing the finish in areas listed.

Architectural Sheets• Door/Window schedule. This table will have a list of doors,

describing the opening, "hand" of doors, window information (often keyed off of the floor plan, example, window or door type "A", "B", etc.). It will also include installation details (cuts) for flashings, attachment methods, and hardware specifications. There may also be a seperate schedule for window and door finishes. A window example would be "Mill finish, aluminum", a door might be "Oak, natural finish".

• Details. Bathroom fixture layouts, casework (cabinets), closet accessories, and other elements not specifically noted on other sheets.

Architectural Sheets

• Elevations. These are views from the exterior, indicating the material used in exterior walls, (brick, stucco, vinyl, etc), the location of windows and doors from a side view, the roof slopes, and other elements visible from the exterior.
