What kinds of drawings form a part of construction drawings? ‘Construction drawings’ is an umbrella word for all kinds of engineering and architectural drawings which are used by AEC professionals for constructing a building. All these constriction drawings are generated by architects and engineers but when it comes to their drafting technicians of service providing company are responsible for it. In other words construction drawings are developed by the CAD drafters of service providing company with the assistance of architect, structural engineer, mechanical engineer, electrical engineer and plumbing engineer.
In other words constriction drawings include all kinds of architectural, structural and MEP drawings that are generated during the drafting phase of the project. These drawings
are highly mandatory for architects and engineers for referring important details regarding multidiscipline building systems. All kinds of shop drawings such as architectural shop drawings, structural shop drawings and MEP shop drawings are generated by the AEC professionals so that detailed information can be gathered regarding the elements of multidiscipline building systems. Architectural drawings such as site plans, floor plans, sections, elevations etc are optimized by architect and architectural BIM modelers. However structural drawings such as structural shop drawings and erection drawings are required for the construction of structural framework of the building. Similarly MEP drawings which include mechanical drawings, electrical drawings and plumbing drawings are crucial for the development of MEP systems of the building. It is highly important that all these drawings are generated with extreme precision because when it comes to on site construction instead of models construction drawings are utilized by architects and engineers. And that is the reason these drawings are always generated with the assistance of a service providing company which generates them with utmost precisions after optimizing architect’s and engineer’s specifications. So be it architectural, structural and MEP drawings when they are developed by the technicians of the service providing company specifications provided by architect and engineers are considered very seriously.
So with the assistance of accurate construction drawings effective buildings are constructed by architects and engineers on the proposed construction location.
