REQUIREMENTS IN ESTIMATING BILL OF MATERIALS

WORKING DRAWING

 The working drawings, or sometimes called construction plans, are the graphical
presentation on paper that enable the reader to visualize and understand how the building
would be constructed and how it functions. In this drawing we can see the details,
measurements and notes the provide a information for the whole structure

The following are the standard drawings included in the construction plans or working
drawings:

a. Exterior Perspective drawing of the building

b. Site Development Plan or Plot Plan
c. Vicinity Map or Location Plan
d. Floor Plan/s
e. Elevations
f. Transverse Section and Longitudinal Section
g. Foundation Plan. Details of Posts/Column, Footings, Concrete Hollow Blocks/Reinf. Conc.
Walls
h. Floor Framing Plan/s, Details of Beams, Girders and RC Slab/s
i. Roof Framing Plan, Details of Rafters and/or Trusses
j. Plumbing Plan, Diagram and Details of Septic Vault, Catch Basins, etc.
k. Electric Plan/s, Diagram/s and Load Computations, etc.
l. Mechanical Plan, where so required

PERSPECTIVE DRAWING

 is the graphic presentation in the 3-dimension style of the project showing how it would
appear when finished. The designer usually strives to make the perspective drawing as
attractive as possible, adding such details as landscaping, design of fences, gates, etc. To
achieve a realistic effect, shadows, people, cars and other details are also incorporated in
the perspective drawings.
SITE DEVELOPMENT

 PLOT PLAN, the outline and measurements of the proposed building and its placement
on the property are designated. Also shown are the other proposed improvements 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
VICINITY MAP

 The vicinity map is a small map that graphically represents the

proposed area near or in close proximity to prominent landmarks.

 A vicinity map showcases many things such as building footprints,

street layouts, and landscaping. It also represents smaller details such
as parking and elevations of buildings and establishments.
FLOOR PLANS

 are drawings showing the outline and arrangement of the rooms

inside the building as seen from a horizontal plane cutting thru the
walls about one meter above the floor line.
 In multi-storey buildings, a separate floor plan is drawn for each floor
level when the layout of the room is not the same in each floor.
From the floor plans, one can estimate by direct count the following items
or materials:
a. Number of doors and corresponding hardware required;
b. Number of windows and related required items;
c. 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.

ELEVATION VIEW

 An ELEVATION as used in design and construction is a drawing

representing the projection of any part of a structure on a vertical
plane directly facing it.
 These are the 4 four elevations: FRONT ELEVATION, REAR
ELEVATION, RIGHT SIDE ELEVATION, and LEFT SIDE
ELEVATION.
 A building with a triangular floor plan would require only three
elevations.
 The view of the proposed building that is facing in main street is
normally designated as FRONT VIEW.

Steel Reinforcement
- is in the form of rebar or wire of steel, which is utilized in concrete members to
resist primarily tensile forces caused by externally applied loads or volume changes.

Steel
- is the most common material used as reinforcement, but other materials such as fiber-
reinforced polymer (FRP) are also used. The reinforcement must be of the right kind, of
the right amount, and in the right place in order for the concrete structure to meet its
requirements for strength and serviceability.
