Opening Prayer:

A STUDENT'S PRAYER (by St. Thomas Aquinas)

Come, Holy Spirit, Divine Creator, true source of light and fountain of wisdom!
Pour forth your brilliance upon my dense intellect, dissipate the darkness which
covers me, that of sin and of ignorance.
Grant me a penetrating mind to understand, a retentive memory, method and
ease in learning, the lucidity to comprehend, and abundant grace in expressing
myself.
Guide the beginning of my work, direct its progress, and bring it to successful
completion.
This I ask through Jesus Christ, true God and true man, living and reigning with
You and the Father,
forever and ever.
Amen.

Content of the Module:

Reading and comprehending a plan is required in order to effectively interpret it and carry it out according to its specifications.
In this module, we will attempt to comprehend a working drawing.

What is Working Drawing?

Production information is defined as "...the information created by

designers and delivered to a construction team to enable the production of
a project" (cf. CPIC). The significance of production data). Production data
is put into tender material, which is then incorporated into contract
documents for construction projects.

Production information may include:

 Drawings, such as working drawings.

 Specifications.
 Bills of quantities or schedules of work.

Working drawings contain dimensioned, graphical information that can be

utilized by a contractor to construct the works, or by suppliers to create
components of the works, as well as to assemble or install components.
Architectural drawings, structural drawings, civil drawings, mechanical
drawings, electrical drawings, and so on are examples.
ES 111.1 – ENGINEERING DRAWINGS AND PLANS, LAB.

Working drawings have traditionally been two-dimensional orthogonal projections of the building or component being described, such as plans, sections, and
elevations. These can be hand-drawn to scale or created with Computer Aided Design (CAD) software.

Building information modeling (BIM) is increasingly being used to create three-dimensional models of buildings and their components for construction. This is
known as a virtual construction model (VCM), and it can include a number of different models created by various members of the project team.

Title blocks, dimensions, notation, and symbols may be included in working drawings. It is critical that these adhere to industry standards so that their specific
meaning is clear and understandable. Specification information can be included on working drawings or in a separate specification, although information should
not be duplicated since this can lead to inconsistency and confusion.

The scale at which drawings are made should match the level of detail required to convey the information. Different line thicknesses can be utilized to improve
clarity for specific parts.

It is critical to consider the objective of the drawings as well as the people who will utilize them. Working drawings may be generated for statutory approvals,
contractors to plan construction works, offer instructions on site, component procurement, shop drawing preparation, subcontractor appointment, and so on.

Drawings must be carefully designed so that they provide the necessary information to carry out specific aspects of the work. They may be divided into
packages to provide greater clarity, so that information is especially customized to discrete areas of the works, specific components, or individual suppliers or
trades.

Some packages may need to be produced sooner than others, for example, switchgear, chiller units, lifts, escalators, or bespoke cladding systems, or for front-
end construction such as service diversions, demolition, setting out details, subsurface drainage, piling, and groundworks.

The accuracy of production information is critical. There will be disagreements and delays on site if it is not adequately organized and coordinated, and
expenditures will be incurred. The following are some of the most common issues with working drawings:

 Poor coordination of information.
ES 111.1 – ENGINEERING DRAWINGS AND PLANS, LAB.

 Errors and omissions.

 Information not getting to the right people.
 Poor presentation.

The responsibility for preparing production information will be determined by the procurement system and contract type chosen. Production information may be
created by a consulting team working for the customer under traditional contracts (as well as management contracts and construction management contracts).

Some production information may be produced by specialist contractors under the supervision of the principal designer. In other types of contracts, such as
design and build, the principal contractor may be responsible for preparing and coordinating production information.

When the work is completed, the working drawings may be revised to display ‘as constructed' information, indicating changes to the works that may have
occurred throughout the construction process.
Working drawings that have been meticulously produced can be very attractive, and the best of them have been displayed as works of art.

Types of Building Drawings, Proposed Drawing, Submission Drawing and Completion Drawing :
A. Site Plan - is a scaled design that depicts the current state of your land as well as suggested improvements. It encompasses any existing and
prospective development, such as structures, paving, and land usage.
ES 111.1 – ENGINEERING DRAWINGS AND PLANS, LAB.

B. Floor Plan - is a scale drawing that depicts the relationships between rooms, spaces, traffic patterns, and other physical characteristics at one level of a
structure from above.
ES 111.1 – ENGINEERING DRAWINGS AND PLANS, LAB.

C. Foundation and Floor Framing Plan

ES 111.1 – ENGINEERING DRAWINGS AND PLANS, LAB.

 Foundation Plan is a plan view drawing, in section, showing the location and size of footings, piers, columns, foundation walls, and supporting
beams. A foundation plan ordinarily includes the following: • Footings for foundation walls, piers, and columns (hidden lines).
ES 111.1 – ENGINEERING DRAWINGS AND PLANS, LAB.

 Floor Framing Plans include structural details such joist position, spacing, and orientation, as well as floor heights and stair openings. There are
usually multiple call-outs (notes) indicating the sort of floor trusses required, as well as information about truss supports and support locations.
ES 111.1 – ENGINEERING DRAWINGS AND PLANS, LAB.

All Floor Framing Plans are for design purposes only and must be reviewed by an engineer and/or truss designer to ensure adherence to local
site conditions and allowing for given structural loads based on your climate and roofing materials.

D. Roof Framing Plan - A roof plan depicts the shape of the roof. The roof framing plan is similar to the roof plan, but it additionally indicates the size and
direction of the framing members used to frame the roof in addition to the geometry of the structure and the outline of the roof.

Plate No. 5 (Multi-View Drawings)

Instructions:
1. Plate format is the same as with the
previous plate. But change the name of
the plate and its number.
2. Draw the figures that you will see on the
right side of the instructions.
3. Plates should be done on a A3 size
paper, using the right material.
4. Do not cheat. Do a short time lapse video

anyone do your work.
5. Sent it the assigned google classroom
with a final output (picture of your work)
on or before the deadline.

drawing.
7. For further instructions and questions,
you can message and text me with the

Closing Prayer:

PRAYER AFTER STUDY

Almighty God, the Source of all wisdom and knowledge, I thank You profoundly for giving me the opportunity to study for this subject/course/field.
Thank You for allowing me to grow and mature in intellect through my studies.
As I momentarily end my study for today, help me to fully absorb and understand the new knowledge and learning that I have encountered. Help me
to sow and properly cultivate the seeds of learning so that I may be able to joyfully reap in the future its sweet fruits.
May you continue to grant me with the grace to never get tired of learning about Your creation. May my studies bring me closer to You and to the
Truth. May it open my eyes to the various manifestations of Your love for us.
May the knowledge that I have gained and I will further gain, allow me to serve You and Your people better. May it help me to be an agent of Your
peace and love in this world.
May I look forward to my next study session and to the continuation, in general, of my studies which I humbly offer and consecrate to You.
I ask all of these in the Name of Jesus Christ, the Fount of Every Blessing, and through the intercession of Mother Mary, the Seat of Wisdom.
AMEN
