Overview

Working drawings, also called technical drawings are documents that familiarize the construction team with the specifications and designs of a building. Working drawings in construction work as an exhaustive set of instructions for contractors, builders, and other professionals, who are involved in the construction work. Architects and engineers create these drawings, which include information for efficient and accurate construction.

Major Parts of Working Drawings

Elevations:

Elevations show the exterior views of the building from different perspectives. They give details about the shape, height, and appearance of the facades of the building.

Site Plans:

These site plans and layout design show the surroundings of the building, such as landscape features, neighboring structures, and property lines.

Floor Plans:

These floor plans and elevations drawings give a top-down view of each floor of the building, showing the layout of windows, doors, walls and rooms. In addition, room names, dimensions, and other relevant information are included.

Sections:

Sections are horizontal or vertical cutaway views of the buildings, which reveal the construction methods and internal details. Vertical sections show the interior details whereas horizontal sections show details, such as ceiling heights and floor.

Details:

Detailed drawings lay focus on specific elements or components of the construction, giving complete information about how parts of the building are to be constructed. This includes structural connections, joinery details and other specifics.

Plumbing, Electrical and Mechanical Drawings:

These plumbing, electrical, and mechanical drawings give details about the specifications and layout for the plumbing, electrical, and mechanical systems of the building. This includes plumbing pipes, electrical wiring, HVAC, and other related systems.

Types of Working Drawings
