Drawing Scale

• construction projects are drawn to a reduced
  scale
• scale is defined as
• architectural scale
• 1/4 1-0 this means ever 1/4 on the drawing
  equals a one foot of actual length on the project
• 1/8 1-0
• engineering scale
• 1 10, or 20 etc.
• metric scale
• 150

Reading Scales
metric scale
7
Quantity Takeoffs

• Quantities derived from drawings
• Square footage, linear footage, etc..
• List of all materials (Quantity amount), as well
  as equipment and labor costs.
• Accurate quantity takeoffs are required for
  detailed cost estimates.

Blueprint View Types

• Plan Views
• Orthographic/Perspective
• Detail Views
• Contour/Topographic Views
• Cross-sections
• Profiles
• Plot Plans

9
Plot Plans(Site Plans)

• View from above the property that illustrates
  location of building on the lot.
• Lot and block number or address
• Bearing and length of property lines
• North arrow
• Dimensions of front, rear and side yards.
• Location of other accessory buildings
• Location of walks, drives, fences, etc
• Location of Utilities, and easement setbacks
• Elevations at various locations

11
Concrete

• Reinforced Concrete
• Contains rebar and/or welded wire fabric to
  increase tensile strength
• Pre-cast (in factory) or cast in place (on site)
• Pre-stressed Concrete
• Pre-tensioned
• Post-tensioned
• Steel and concrete compliment one another

12
Commercial Framing

• Framework constructed of structural steel and/or
  reinforced concrete.
• Framework is designed to transfer loads to
  columns of steel, thus eliminating the need for
  load bearing walls.
• Two types of floor and roof framing systems.
• One-way floor system (Girders run parallel to
  each other)
• Two-way floor system (Beams and girders run in
  both directions)

15
Residential Framing

• Similar to commercial framing
• Beams and joists used to support floors
• Wood members used instead of structural steel and
  concrete.
• More members used in residential frames (weaker
  material and no large columns.)
• Weight of floor supported by wall instead of
  columns.

16
Residential Framing

• Wall framing types
• Platform
• Balloon
• Plank and Beam
• Be familiar with members used in
• Flooring
• Walls
• Roofing
• Stairs
