Stage 4b. Detailed Design & Technical/Construction Drawings


In tandem with Stage 4a, construction details are prepared; these illustrate how important or non-standard details are to be built.

These drawings are concerned with aesthetic, finishing and unusual details such as the roof edges, box gutters, timber cladding, green roofs, large dormers, timber structures, special window details and thresholds.

This also includes other additional drawings – window and doors schedule, indicative electrical layout, kitchen layout and any other drawings needed to smooth work on site.

 

If the design includes any elements that are other than absolutely standard (or the contractor is unfamiliar with the materials or technique), these additional drawings help the contractor build on site easily and ensure a higher level of quality and crisper finish.

Included in Stage 4b:

  • Architectural drawings to illustrate key details where further information may be needed – eaves/ridges/abutments.
  • Where applicable: Kitchen Plan, Indicative Electrical Layout, Window and Door Schedule.

It`s not pretty, it`s not neat and it`s not tidy...

But for me, working by hand with multiple colours is a helpful way to work through design ideas and option iterations.

These will be a basis for for development and testing the ideas, drawing up accurately and a starting point.

But working by hand will always be the most natural way for me to get into a flow state of thinking about designs.
