Considering your prior learning in the previous grade level, it is assumed that you are
already aware on the tools, materials and equipment needed in drafting works. However, it is
essential to review their previous learning for you to be prepared for higher drafting task.
Because most of the architectural drafting works are consisted of technical and
freehand drawing, you must be aware on how to plan and prepare precisely all drafting tools,
materials and equipment required for assigned task.

DRAWING TOOLS, MATERIALS AND EQUIPMENT

There is a particular tool, material and equipment that we use in each activity. You
should not use a tool on a particular activity if it is not design for it. It may not function well.
Drafting tools may be used in measuring and laying out lines, so a draftsman must consider
the quality of each tool to practice accuracy in drawing and to serve its purpose well.

a. Drafting tools

These are not consumable items. They are used if the activity requires mechanical
presentation.

• Drawing table / board • Erasing shield

• T-square • Drawing template
• Triangular scale ( circular, furniture, ellipse )
• Pencil sharpener • Set of triangles
• Technical pen (30°x60°x90° and
• Protractor 45°x45°x90°)
5
 b. Drafting Materials
These are consumable items used in drafting works. The draftsman cannot perform
his drafting task without these items.

• A4 size drawing paper • Drawing ink

• Tracing paper (Rotring/Staedler)
• Drawing pencil (HB, F, 2H) • Pen and pencil eraser
• Mechanical Pencil ( 3, .5 ) • Masking tape
• Rug
ALWAYS REMEMBER! Pencil is the most important thing a draftsman must have. ☺

c. Equipment – these items are essential in producing quality drafting output.

• Computer
• Drafting machine
• Leroy lettering pen

STANDARD PROCEDURE IN SETTING UP

DRAFTING TOOLS, MATERIALS AND EQUIPMENT

To ensure the correct setting of standard procedure and accuracy in drawing, a

draftsman should plan, prepare and select proper tools and materials for a particular drawing
layout and details.
It is essential for the draftsman to take care and maintain the usability of drafting tools,
materials and equipment considering their cost and value. These are expensive items
however these are important in all drafting task.

The Standard Operating Procedures before, during and after the utilization of drafting
tools, materials and equipment are strictly emphasized the following considerations:

a. Before the start of drafting activity:

Architectural Drafting

- Architectural drafting and design involve the creation of drawings and models used
to build structures.

Architectural layout and detail drawings

- are designed to develop the technical skills and technical know-how of the students
in architectural drafting works.

Architectural Working Drawings

- the architectural working drawings together with the specifications are the most
important parts of the documents constituting the contract.

- information on the designs, locations, and dimensions of the elements of a building is

found on the architectural working drawings while information on the quality of materials and
workmanship is found in the SPECIFICATIONS.

ALWAYS REMEMBER!
A good architectural working drawing gives the contractor the exact information he
needs.

Draft Site Development Plan

SITE DEVELOPMENT PLAN shows the placement, outline and measurements of the
proposed building on the property. It also displays the property line, setbacks, landscape, and
other relevant data in relation to the site. This plan is drawn using a scale not smaller than
1:200meters.

Site- is the lot or area on which the building is

constructed. It can be a single lot, a
series of lot or a subdivision.
Lot- is a piece of ground with specific
measurement. Its size and/or shape was
can be found on the land title.
Subdivision- is a large area of land that is
being developed and subdivided into
plots for sale.
Property Line- is the border in between of
each property. It indicates the boundary of
two adjacent area.
Set Back- is the distance of the building from
the property line or fence.

9
Planning Consideration in Developing the Site

1. Location of a proposed house on the lot

In order to determine the location of each room, the designer as well as the owner
must considered the location of the house on the lot.

2. Like and dislike of the family members

Prior to the drafting of design, the architect or draftsman has to interview the
members of the family about their likes and dislike, interest, hobby and the like. By that,
you as the draftsman will know whether to put library in the house, swimming pool or
recreation area, music room, landscape, garden and so on. But this factor is usually
considered for rich families who can afford to pay for the services of the people who will
work for them.

The National Building Code of the Philippines

Building Code are local laws that set standard for structural design of the building and other
structures within the community. These standards are legalized to protect the safety and
health of the people who occupies the buildings.

The architect or designer of the building must be familiarized with the building code regulations
before drafting the design.

Zoning- the classification of land according to restrictions placed on its use and development.
It is also the process of dividing land in a municipality into zones (e.g. residential,
industrial) in which certain land uses are permitted or prohibited.

Zoning Law- one major area covered by building code is the zoning laws. Zoning laws are
designed to keep different areas of a community from interfering with each other. In
some cities or towns, separate areas are set aside for specific uses. Examples are
residential, commercial, and industrial. These are established and protected by zoning
laws.

In addition, zoning laws establish standards for construction in different sizes and uses.

NBC. SECTION 704. Location on

Property(a) General. No building shall
be constructed unless it adjoins or has
direct access to a public space, yard or
street on at least one of its sides.
For the purpose of this Section,
the center line of an adjoining street or
alley shall be
considered an adjacent property line.
Eaves over required windows
shall not be less than 750 millimeters
from the side and rear property lines.

Lot Mensuration and Plotting

TYPES OF LOT

1. Inside lot is a lot

surrounded on each
side by other lots.
2. Through lot is a lot
having frontage on two
public streets or
highways.
3. Corner lot is a lot with at
least two adjacent sides
meeting on a corner of
two streets.
4. Open lot is a lot
bounded on all sides by
streets or pathways

Percentage of Lot Occupancy

Every building, except those especially mentioned in the building ordinance, shall be
limited in its occupancy.

They limit the lot occupancy for these reasons:

a. To secure natural light and ventilation;
b. For better fire protection.

Limits of Lot Occupancy

1. Domestic building – it is a permanent or semi-permanent habitation of not more than one

unit of family dwelling in it.
• on inside lot - 70%
• on corner lot - 90%
2. Non-Domestic building- any property that is
not classified as domestic building. It may
refer to as a warehouse, shops, factories
and offices.
• on inside lot - 90%
• on corner lot - 95%

Measurement of Lot Occupancy

1. Measurement of lot occupancy shall be
taken at ground level
2. Items not included in measurements:
a. Court
b. Yard
c. Light well (it is used to allow good
ventilation and passing of natural
light inside the house. It has a door
for maintenance only and not for passage use.

Lot Plotting- it is where the exact shape and measurement of a particular lot is drawn. It
attains the boundaries and lot orientation of north, east, south and west.
11
Protractor is the instrument used in lot plotting. It is graduated in angular degrees for

measuring and laying out angles.

Setting the Protractor

Units of Protractor
• Full Circle contains 4 quadrants
• One quadrant - 900 (degrees)
• One degree – 60’ (minutes)
• One minute – 60” (seconds)

Note: It is suggested that the diameter of protractor is not less than 4”. Bigger protractors are naturally
accurate.

Procedure in Lot Plotting

Note: NORTH is always to be pointed vertical up with respect to the paper.

1. Prepare the land title that you are

going to plot.
2. From the land title, list all the points
of boundaries or the bearings.

1. N 15⁰ 30’ E, 3m
2. E 48⁰ 40’ S, 5m
3. S 75⁰ 20’ W, 3m
4. W 30⁰ 28’ N, 4m
5. E 86⁰ 80’ N, 1.73

3. Start with point 1.

4. Determine the direction, degrees and

measurement indicated in each point or bearing.
5. Make sure to finish all the points. Starting from
point 1, ends with point 1.

12
Procedure in drawing a Site Development Plan:

1. Draft the given property lines of the lot.

Given: 9.50 m. x 11.00 m.

Scale: 1: 100m.

2. Show dimensions of lot including bearing’s

length and degree. Bearings are represented by
small circle and point number inside of it.
1

3. Locate lot center of property.

When designing areas of occupancy,
you must consider and study the
shape of lot, location of the street,
adjacent lots and the lot plan guides.

4. Plot the measurements of

setbacks of all corners of the lot plan.

5. Draw and finalized the desired shape 6. Lastly, draft the chosen roof type on the
and design of occupancy plan. occupancy plan.

13
Floor Plan

A floor plan is a two-dimensional scaled drawing of a house or building viewed from

above. Its shows the size and arrangement of rooms. It also displays the location of doors,
windows, partition of each room, walls, and their sizes. Furniture and fixtures are also present
if required. To specify the rooms sizes, the dimensions are drawn between walls.

When the proposed building is a multi-storey, the floor plan of each level is separate
unless if the design of each level are all the same.

Room Requirements and pointers in planning a floor plan

1. Living Room- part of the house where you can relax and entertain visitors. Mostly, it is
the center of the living. Generally,
it is located near or adjacent to the
main entrance of the house and to
the dining area.
2. Bedroom- a room where you can
rest and sleep. For a low cost
housing, it is ideal to have at least
two sleeping areas, master’s
bedroom and bedroom. Toilet and
bath for master’s bedroom is also
recommended and built-in cabinet
or closet for each room.
3. Dining Area- this area should be
located between the living room
and kitchen. It is an area where
meals are eaten. The size and
shape of this area will depend on
the size of the family.
4. Kitchen- part of the house with
cooking facilities. This is where
our food is being prepared and
cooked. It has a working triangle
area for storage and mixing area,
preparation and cleaning center FLOOR
and cooking center. There should PLAN
also be a storage for utensils, SCALE 1: 100
cooking tools and other kitchen
stuff.
Types of Kitchen

14
5. Bathroom- a room containing a toilet, shower or bathtub and lavatory. It must be near the
bedroom and accessible to the living room. Keep the toilet and bath near the kitchen as
much as possible. When the proposed house is multi-storey, each level must have a
bathroom. If there are two rooms in each level, the bathroom must be in between of the
two rooms.
6. Entrance- a passage or doorway you pass through on your way inside the building or
house.
Different Types
a. Main entrance- this is where the guests are welcomed and entertained. It provides
access to the house.
b. Service entrance- part of the house which gives access to the delivery services like
supplies of food, parcel and the like.
c. Special purpose entrance and exit- it is a special passage through which street or
sidewalk movement would have an access.
7. Garage and Carport- they are shelter for cars. However, they are different in features or
structure. A garage is a closed area. Some are built next to the building and others are
part or attached to the house. It is also used for secondary purposes like laundry area or
workshop. A carport is an open area with roof supported by columns. It can also be
separated from the house or built against the existing wall of the house.
