29 Aug - 2 Sep 2011 - SITE DRAWINGS!!

This week I have been working on a development which comprises of 24 units and these drawings need to be issued to site. What this means is that I have to ensure that all measurements and dimensions are correct, the layout positions and setbacks clearly marked so that the building can be setout on site correctly. As well as making sure window and door schedules are correct in order for the manufacturers to issue the correct amounts for site. These drawings make you realise the importance of your task as a draughtsperson. If any errors are found on the drawing this could result in costly mistakes on site.Something we would all much rather not deal with. This week has really taught me the importance of taking pride in your work and making sure your drawing is a clear reference or form of communication between you as the architect- "who designs " , draughtsperson " who completes the drawings" and builders "people resonsible for building the plans drawn up".


So this week has been rather interesting and a bit of pressure, nothing i could handle.

Till next time.
