Fig. A2 SITE DEVELOPMENT PLAN In the Site Development Plan or Plot Plan, the outline and measurements of the proposed building and its placement ‘on the property are designated. Also shown are other proposed improve- ‘ments like gates, lawn, service yard, walks, etc, The roof plan of the building is not a standard requirement in the working drawing because it can be interpreted from the Roof Framing plan. However, some designers include it in the Site Development Plan or as a separate detail, The features indicated on the roof in Fig. A-2 are: (1) gutter; (2) hip roll; and (3) ridge roll.

Howerer, when tile or more floor levels have the same arrangement and features, one typ, al floor plan representing all the identical floors wil sufice to be drawn. From the floor plans, one can estimate by direct count the following items or materials 44. Number of doors and corresponding hardware required; © b. Number of windows and related required items; ‘i ¢. Number of plumbing fixtures and corresponding accessories. Other information that may be found in the floor plans are the kinds of materials to be ‘used for floor finishes, walls or partitions. The floor plan may also show the suggested of furniture, appliances and similar fixtures inside each room, but these items should be excing. ‘ed in the bill of materials.

Generally, there are four elevation drawings of 2 building jing to the views of its principal sides, and these are the: FRONT ELEVATION, REAR ELEVATION, RIGHT SIDE ELEVATION and the LEFT SIDE ELEVATION. However, when a building is many-sided, more elevations to show all its sides would have to be drawn. A building with a triangular floor plan would require only three elevations. Elevations should be properly projected from the floor plans.and the vertical distances accurately drawn to scale. Also, the building features should be propery illustrated and labelled. ‘The view of the proposed building from the street would normally be designated as the FRONT ELEVATION: the drawing of the project at the right of the viewer who is facing the front of the structure is the RIGHT SIDE ELEVATION: while that of the viewer's left is the LEFT SIDE ELEVATION. The drawing representing the opposite of the front view is the REAR ELEVATION. ‘The information and details about the structure which one can glean from elevations are: a. Overall design and character of the building; . Materials and finishes for the exterior features of the building; ¢. Height of the building and its various levels like: ground line-o-first floor level; floor line-to-ceiling line; level of basement, if any, from first floor or ground line; heights of other important parts of the building; 4. Approximate or true profile of the building site if not level; €. Types and designs of exterior doors and windows.

FOUNDATION PLAN ‘The purpose of the FOUNDATION: PLAN is to show the structural suj bonus structure at the ground level, and/or basement level if a basement is moore ste Pro. fuilding plan. The FOUNDATION PLAN fllows the outline and lay-out of the wall 4 the building elements in the FIRST FLOOR PLAN and/or BASEMENT FLOOR PLAN, yo,°ther Principal information it presents are the following: : moe, a.

The smal sae of the foundation plan doesnot pen < the presentation of the detailed information about the columns, posts, piers, pilaster, m: alk walls, their footings and other foundation supports. Thus itis necesary to have ampiieg drawings of these members, usually at scale 1:20 meters, so thet more detalls about them coal be included and clearly shown. i In the FOUNDATION PLAN, each structural member is given an identification mark, like C-1, €2, 3 for any three different kinds of columns; or WF-1, WF-2, WF-3 for three kinds of masonry walls. The DETAIL DRAWINGS of the columns and walls are also assigned their respective identification mars omesponding to those they represent in the FOUNDATION ‘The FOUNDATION PLAN and the SCHEDULE or DETAIL DRAWINGS of columns, footings and foundation wals should be prepared on the same drawing sheet to facilitate esy and convenient cross-reference between them. SECTIONS If an elevation drawing shows the exterior details of a building, a SECTION drawing reveals the innards of the structure. A section shows the interior view, as projected on an imaginary vertical plane that passes through a given axis of the building. The positions of imaginary planes where section views are taken are indicated by section lines drawn along the length and across the floor plan/s of the building. .___ In the floor plans (Fig. A-3), of bold segritent and dash lines: a pair_of encircled letter X and ‘one can see the position of the section lines which consist ‘one running lengthwise and the other across the plan, each with 7 et Y near their arrows, respectively. The direction of the arrows indicate the line of sight as viewed from the cutting plane. The pair of identical letters placed near the arrows serve to identify the corresponding section drawing taken at that part of the floor plan traversed by that particular section line,» A section showing the building in its entire length or width is called a full section: A full section cut along the longer axis of a structure is called its LONGITUDINAL SECTION, while ‘that taken along its shorter axis is its TRANSVERSE or CROSS-SECTION. i ENTRANCE UUVING- iin. aTOaT: Gh BATH ROOW @ KITCHEN UB CARPORT 2.0m PYERAGE SLOpe oF & Wills Fig. AS SECTION OF A BUILDING PROPOSED FOR A SLOPING SITE Fig. AS LONGITUDINAL SECTION Y-Y Among the important information which are conveyed through the full section drawings are: a. The height of the different floor levels as seen from inside the building; b. Interior elements of the structure; ¢. Contour of the building site if not level; (This is important in calculating the volume of fills or amount of excavation to be un- dertaken to construct the structure on the site.) 4. Profile of the ceiling lines and floor sections. (This is useful in establishing the height of exposed surfaces of walls and computing their areas to determine the amount of plaster- ing, painting and other finishing materials to be consumed for these areas.) When a section represents only a part of the structure and is intended to focus on specific details of the construction of special features of that building part, it is known as DETAIL SECTION. The detail section is drawn at a much bigger scale than the whole building section which is usually drawn at the same small scale as the floor plan/s.-The small scale of full sections a thods of construcy, Jing of special. me' strUctio, a ion and adequate labe) tions at bi n does not permit the vivid bree a ‘this handicap, Seta nenditaa i Ber elas aie for certain parts ofthe pros ts ofa structure should ve bal 3 loved rawn to show how He 3 among | FS the caouhies and te kinds of materials to be used, at DETAIL DRAWINGS i f a structure to show in p, d jected portions 0!

The final electrical plans con- taining the lighting and power lay-outs, load computations, riser diagram, specifications, etc,, should be prepared, signed and dry-sealed by a licensed electrical engineer or master electrician. The plumbing plans should be signed, dry-sealed by a licensed sanitary engineer or master plumber. The drawings pertaining to architectural and structural requirements of the building can-be signed and dry-sealed by a licensed architect and civil engineer, respectively. Other drawings like the details of windows and doors, cabinets/closets, etc., should also be included in the working drawings to provide complete information for the proper execution of the construction and the accurate computation of the bill of materials. After the working drawings, a set of Sample Specifications also follows.
