Whyisconstructiondocumentationnecessary?
Construction documents are used to get the design built. These legally binding documents specify the exact procedures, materials, building systems, and components that must be used to construct the design.
Purposeofcreatingbuildingdocuments:
The construction document phase comes after the design development phase. It is concerned with supplying information in the form of final drawings and specifications. This enables permitting by the relevant authorities, as well as bidding and building of the project by a qualified contractor
Constructiondocumentphasedeliverables:
A set of drawings with all the necessary information is created during the construction document phase so that the contractors can estimate and construct the project. The architectural plan, section, elevation, and details are essential CD set components.
