Building drawings — Architect
Say who will use the drawings and for what decision: an early layout, an application, pricing or construction. Provide existing plans and explain whether a measured survey is needed so the drafter is not expected to supply reliable site dimensions from photographs alone.
Service scope
Preparation of identified architectural drawings for a stated project stage, such as existing layouts, a proposal or technical coordination. The drawing purpose, measurement basis, level of detail and revision status determine what the documents can responsibly be used for.
What is normally included
- Agreed plans, elevations or sections
- Coordination of architectural drawing information
- Clearly identified issue and revision records
What is not included
- Unspecified engineering calculations
- Treating unverified dimensions as a fabrication survey
Typical tasks
- Define the drawing purpose
- Review or commission measurement information
- Prepare the specified drawing set
- Coordinate agreed design inputs
- Issue drawings with scope and revision identification
What to include in your brief
- Intended use of the drawings
- Site and building information
- Available measured survey
- Required plans and details
- Submission or project deadline
Choosing the right professional
Compare the actual drawing schedule and measurement responsibility. Ask whether specialist details and site verification are included, and ensure documents prepared for one purpose are not presented as suitable for every later project stage.
Important considerations
- Unverified existing plans can carry errors forward
- Drawings for approval may omit information needed for construction
