Designing and building a new home, renovating an existing one, or creating a commercial building project comes with a series of moving parts. One key part is architectural drafting.
At the beginning of the project, think about the drawings that comprise the design and plans for the finished project. Architectural drafting is the process that turns your idea into plans and instructions from which the project is built. Architectural drafters, working with architects and engineers, translate ideas into the technical drawings, detailed plans, and even models for construction of residential and commercial buildings.
Drawings
The completed technical drawings (also called blueprints) are used to show the project to clients as well as guide the general contractors and subcontractors. They show specifications for many key features that ultimately go into the completed building, such as the electric, heating and cooling, ventilation and plumbing. They include important details such as:
• Location of the finished structure on the property
• Style of the finished building
• Required building materials to complete the project
The drawings include different sets of plans:
• Site plans, which delineate property lines, show the condition of the land, and local height restrictions.
• Foundation plans, which show the location of the foundation, measurements, required materials, as well as walls, supporting beams, and other parts of the project that involve the foundation
• Floor plans, which show the locations and layouts of rooms, along with doors, windows, closets, and other parts of the finished project
• Electrical/wiring plans, including details of the electrical wiring system and the plumbing system, including where and how they should be installed.
All these, as well as changes and updates, are part of the architectural drafting involved in a building project.
