Understanding Working Drawings in Construction

A working drawing is a construction document prepared by architects and engineers to communicate all necessary construction information to contractors and builders in order to construct the project according to the design intent. Working drawings include plans, elevations, sections, and details needed to build the project, and are provided to various parties including contractors, subcontractors, suppliers, and owners. The purpose of working drawings is to translate the design concept into a buildable form, avoid confusion on the construction site, control the project, and create a successful outcome.

Rules for Dimensioning

 In applying rules, “clarity” prevails


􀁺 Dimension lines should be outside the part outline
􀁺 Dimension lines should not cross each other
􀁺 Don’t double dimension, no redundant dimensions
􀁺 Pick the view that most clearly describes the feature
􀁺 Place dimensions between views when possible
􀁺 Dimension to solid lines instead of hidden lines
􀁺 Place smallest dimension first, largest farthest from profile
􀁺 Use one dimension system (unidirectional)
􀁺 Leave a small gap between extension line and feature
􀁺 Extension lines do not cross unless unavoidable
