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.
