INFORMATION SHEET 1.1

Learning Objective 1: Plan and prepare for work

Review on drafting tools, materials and equipment, their uses and care
Most architectural drafting works generally consist of freehand and mechanical
drawings. As such, the learner must know how to plan and prepare carefully all drafting tools,
materials, and equipment needed for the required work or job.
It is presumed that all students are already aware on the tools and materials needed in
drafting works considering their prior learning in the previous year level. However, it is
necessary to review your previous learning to prepare you for higher drafting activity.

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
WEEK 2
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 layouting and detailing architectural
working plans and drawings.

Elements of Architectural working drawing

A complete architectural working drawing of a house generally includes the following:

1. Architectural sheets

a. Sheet # 1 - Title page and index (Exterior perspective, site development plan
or plot plan, and vicinity map or location plan is often included in the
plan).

PERSPECTIVE is the view as seen by the eyes or it shows the appearance of

the finished building. This drawing represents the actual form of the proposed
building. (See perspective on the next page).

SITE DEVELOPMENT PLAN is the outline and measurements of the

proposed building and its placement on the property. it 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.
(see site development plan on the next page.)

LOCATION PLAN is the top view of the site or lot where the proposed house
will be built. It shows the position of the house inside the lot, the number of
the adjacent lots, streets or lanes before or beside the lot, and the North sign.
The location plan is usually located near the title block. The main line symbol
of the North sign is generally parallel to the side border line of the drawing
paper and points upward.

Assignment: Research about monograms and design your own Monogram for your names. For all
your Drafting plates from now on, include your monogram designs.

Here is a brief explanation for your reference: A monogram is a motif made by overlapping or
combining two or more letters or other graphemes to form one symbol. Monograms are often
made by combining the initials of an individual or a company, used as recognizable symbols or
logos. A series of uncombined initials is properly referred to as a cypher (e.g. a royal cypher) and
is not a monogram.

ARCHITECTURAL WORKING DRAWINGS

After all the drawings are performed, it is also necessary to expose the student in tracing
activity. This activity is commonly applied in industry especially in the reproduction of the
architectural plans. All drafting works must be done first in the preliminary process using
sketching sheet. The final outputs are those drawings which are done through tracing activity.

Below is an activity on tracing the drawing.

Steps in tracing architectural working drawing sheet no. # 1:

1. Prepare all tools and materials needed.

2. Fasten sheet #1 and tracing paper on drawing board. Be sure it is aligned horizontally by the
T-square and aligned vertically with the triangle.
3. Trace border lines using T-square, 300 x 600 triangle, and technical pen point 0.8-1.0.
4. Trace all the labels in title block and index using technical pen point 0.3 – 0.6.
5. Trace first all vertical lines using big triangle 300 x 600. Follow all horizontal lines using T-
square before tracing all the curved and irregular curved lines using French curved instrument
or templates.
6. Trace all the labels and dimensions using technical pen point 0.1-0.4.
7. Finalize the drawing by checking and erasing all unnecessary lines.

LO1. Plan and prepare for work

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.

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.

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

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
in order 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 has to 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 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.

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 has to 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.

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.
