 INFORMATION SHEET 1.2

LO1. Plan and prepare for work

ARCHITECTURAL WORKING DRAWINGS

The architectural working drawings together with the specifications

are the most important parts of the documents constituting the contract.
Information on the designs, locations, and dimensions of the elements of a
building is found on the architectural working drawings while information
on the quality of materials and workmanship is found in the specifications.
A good architectural working drawing gives the contractor the exact
information he needs. It should be clear, simple, and orderly arranged, and
accurately drawn so that scaled measurements will match with dimensions.

The finished drawings made by the architect, or draftsman and used

by the contractor are called architectural working drawings. The
architectural working drawings, together with the specifications and the
general conditions, form the legal contract between the owner and the
contractor. Since the working drawings are a major portion of the contract
documents, they should be very carefully drawn.

Students will be able to interpret, identify tools and materials used in

working drawings and fully understand the standard procedure in lay outing
and detailing architectural working plans and drawings.

12
Elements of Architectural working drawing

This lesson is only a review of your prior learning in technical drawing

particularly on the proper use and care of drawing tools, materials, and
equipment. The purpose of this discussion is to allow the students review
and recall its importance in the Drafting Technology works.

The Importance of Drawing tools, materials, and equipment

a. Drawing/Drafting tools

These refer to the sets of tools that are used in all drafting works or
activities especially if the activity requires mechanical presentation. Prior to
the start of drafting activity, it is expected therefore that all drawing tools
needed must be available in the workstation to ensure that the assigned
task can be accomplished according to customers or client’s standard.

The following are the common drafting tools

1. Drafting Table/Drawing Board (24” x 36” /0.61cm x 0.91cm)
2. T-Square (36” /0.915 cm. length)
3. Triangles -300 x 600 and 400 x 450 ((@ least 0.30 each length)

9. Dusting Brush
10. Sandpaper pad (fabricated fine coarse sandpaper
attached to wood or board pad)

37
 11. Erasing shield
12. Pull-push rule
13. Drafting Light

b. Drawing/Drafting Materials

These are sets of consumable items that are specifically used in

drafting works or activities. The draftsman cannot perform his drafting task
without these items.
The following are the required materials needed in drafting works:

1. Bond Paper (short and Long)

2. Tracing paper
3. A4 drawing paper
4. Drawing pencil – HB, F, 2H
5. Mechanical pencil – point 0.3, 0.5
6. Pen and Ink Eraser
7. Masking Tape
8. Ink (Staedtler/Rotring)
9. Cartolina Paper

c. Equipment
These items are also essential in producing quality drafting
output especially if the assigned task requires mechanical
manipulation. Although, these items are so expensive, however, these
are important in making the drawing output presentable and
convincing to the clients.

The following are some of the equipment needed in drafting task:

1. Drafting machine
2. Leroy Lettering Pen
3. Computer

Procedure in Setting up Drawing tools, Materials and Equipment and

standard procedure

In preparation for a required task in drawing architectural layout and

details, a draftsman should plan, prepare, and select tools and materials for
a particular planning layout. This is to ensure the correct setting of
standard procedure and accuracy of drawing plans. Some of the key tools
used in drafting architectural plans are described and illustrated in this
learning Outcome.

The drawing tools, materials and equipment are very expensive items;
however, these are important in all drafting tasks. Considering its cost and
value in drafting activity, it is also important to take care and maintain its
usability.

With this, the following considerations are strictly emphasized as

Standard Operating Procedure during and after the utilization of the drafting
tools, materials, and equipment:

a. Before the start of drafting activity:

1. Select the tools, materials and equipment which are needed in
the assigned task.
2. Properly set up the required tools and materials in a place
which is convenient for you to move and execute your work.
3. Clean the table and tools, see to it that these are free from the
dust and other elements that would cause damage to your work.
4. Wash your hand with clean water.

40
 b. Activity proper:
1. Perform the activity by following the standard operating
procedure per job requirement.
2. Properly manipulate all the tools and equipment that are
used in the activity.
3. In case of meeting an errors or mistakes along the way of
activity (for instance misprinting of lines, letters, and other
forms of mistakes) use appropriate eraser for a particular
mistake.

c. After the activity:

1. Submit your output to your teacher for checking
2. Check all the tools and materials to ensure that nothing has
lost.
3. Return the tools and materials to the assigned tool keeper for
safekeeping.
4. Withdraw your borrower’s card from the tool keeper to as
document that you have returned the borrowed tools and
materials.
5. Clean your workstation before leaving.

Other important Practices that must be observed in the workstation or

workplace

There are important practices that must be observed in the work

setting. The following are:

1. Observe safety precautions:

a. Never smoke inside the workstation
b. Never use any tools and equipment without having it clean first.
c. Avoid talking with your co-students during working period.
d. Always turn off the lights, air condition, ceiling fan, computer
units, and other equipment before leaving the workstation.

41
 e. Maintain cleanliness in the workstation.

LO3 DRAFT SITE DEVELOPMENT PLAN

SITE DEVELOPMENT PLAN is the outline and measurements of the

proposed building and its placement on the property.
This shows the position and the location of the building with
property line, setbacks, approaches, grade contours, landscape,
and other pertinent data in relation to the site. A site development
plan is drawn using a scale not smaller than 1:200meters.

SITE DEVELOPMENT PLAN

46
SITE is an area of land available for construction or the lot on which a
building is constructed. Building site maybe a single lot, a series of
lots, or a subdivision. A lot is a piece of ground of specific size. A
subdivision is a large tract of land that is being developed.

PLANNING CONSIDERATION IN DEVELOPING THE SITE

▪ Location of a proposed house on the lot. The location of the house

must be considered to determine the locations of the rooms and the
house itself on the lot. Some lots are located on swampy grounds and
others on hilly or rugged terrain. Still others are sited near rivers,
highways, streets, and squatter areas. The front part of the house
generally faces the street or away from ugly views like the back parts of
neighboring houses, a swampy area, and thick bushes.
▪ Many want their bedrooms to face the sunrise – which is, on the
eastern side of the lot. Others, especially those who work at night, prefer
their bedrooms located on the west side. The breeze at the site may
determine the location of the living room and toilet or bathrooms. The
height of the flood waters in the locality should also be considered in
determining the distance of the first floor from the ground. This is
especially true in low areas. In high locations the floor may be 20 cm.
only from the ground level.
▪ As earlier mentioned, the house may be located at the center of the
lot. Or one of its sides may be exactly on a lot line or fence. In this case,
a firewall which is made of concrete, adobe, and concrete hollow blocks
should be constructed on this side of the house.

▪ Like and dislikes of the family member. This factor is usually

considered when the family is rich and can afford to pay for the services
of an architect or draftsman. Before he designs the house, the architect
or draftsman must first interview the members of the family to get
information about their interests, hobbies, and the like. From such
interviews, he will get to know whether the family wants a library or
study room, a social hall, a playroom, a music room, a swimming pool, a

47
 carport or garage, servant’s quarters, a driver’s room, a landscaped
garden, a balcony, and a roof garden.

Property Lines are those lines working outside of the lot area.

Setback refers to the distance at how far a building can be built within the
property lines.

Zoning refers to the legal restrictions on size, location, and type of

structures to be built on a designated area.

48
Zoning Laws
One major area covered by building code is the zoning laws. Zoning
laws are designed to keep different areas of a community from interfering
with each other. In some cities or towns, separate areas are set aside for
specific uses. Examples are residential, commercial, and industrial. These
are established and protected by zoning laws.
In addition, zoning laws establish standards for construction in
different sizes and uses.

One of the first things an architect must do before designing a

building is to read the building codes. The intended use of the building
must be within the limits of zoning laws. Also, the size of the lot must be
large enough to meet the requirements.

Building Code are local laws that set standard for structural design within
the community.

This is a collection of local laws that regulate the building of

homes and other structures. These legal requirements are intended to
protect the safety and health of the people who live and work in the
buildings. They regulate restrictions concerning the construction of
buildings to provide safety to the occupants.

All constructions in an area must meet the requirements of

building codes. Some of the designs and construction features covered
by building codes include:

▪ Qualifications of persons who can design building within the area.

▪ Structural design that can be used
▪ Lot sizes for certain types of buildings
▪ Types and sizes of materials that can be used.

49
National Building Code Rules:

1. For one-storey wooden or frame house, the height of the floor plan
from the ground should not be less than 1.50 m.

2. Walls with window opening should not be less than 2.00 m. from the
lot line of fence. In other words, adjacent houses should not be at
least 4.00 m. from each other.

3. The front part of a house should not be less than 3.00 m. from the lot
line along the street.

4. No windows should be constructed along a wall of a house if this wall

is flush with or exactly on the lot line.
