 and detail drawings are designed to develop the technical skills and technical know-how
of the students in architectural drafting works. Students will learn to interpret and fully understand the standard
procedure in lay outing and detailing of architectural working plans and drawings.

The 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.

This module covers how to prepare students learn to draw a complete set of architectural working drawings. This
module provides an avenue to answer the following questions:

 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.

• 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.

• 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.
• 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

• 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.

 is the top cross-sectional view of the floor area of a house. The horizontal cutting plane line for this top view
passes between the upper and lower window sills or one meter above the floor line. It shows the size and arrangement of
the rooms. It also presents the sizes and locations of the stairs, door and windows openings, and partitions and walls.
Sometimes it includes the kind of furnishings in each room. However, the materials required for constructing permanent or
integral parts of each room such as bedroom closets, kitchen cabinets, etc., should also be accounted for in the bill of
materials.

is the center of the living area in most homes. It should be centrally located and should be adjacent
to the outside entrance and to the dining area, but the entrance should not lead directly into the living room.
Recommended sizes should be at least 2.00m x 3.00 small, 3.7m. x 5.5m. average or optimum size would be 6.1 x
7.9 m. in rectangular shape.

be two bedrooms, master’s bedroom and bedroom. Preferably, there should be a toilet and bath in master’
bedroom and a built-in cabinets or closets.

is where the toilet and tub or shower are separated to save economically in plumbing. As much as possible
keep the toilet near the kitchen. The bath and toilet must be near the bedrooms, accessible to the living room even
without passing through other rooms. The toilet and bath are generally located between bedrooms. In a two-storey
residential house, the bedrooms, toilet, and bath are often located on the second floor. In this case, the stair must go
up from the living room or hall if there is any. The stair is generally L or U- shaped and has a landing.

Bathroom door could be small as 55- 60 cm. except for utility bathroom which requires not less than 70cm. wide to
allow passage of equipment as required. In general, bathroom wall contains only one door.

is divided into several different types; the main entrance, the service entrance, and the special- purpose
entrance. The entrance is composed of an outside waiting area like the porch, marquee or lanai and an inside waiting
area like foyer or entrance hall. It provides for and controls the flow of traffic into and out of a building. The main
entrance provides access to the house. It is the one through which guests are welcomed and from which all major
traffic patterns radiate. The main entrance should be readily identifiable. It should provide shelter to anyone awaiting
entrance.
The service entrance provides access to the house through which supplies can be delivered to the service areas going
through other parts of the house. It should also provide access to parts of the service area like the garage, laundry or
workshop.
The special-purpose entrances and exits do not provide for outside traffic. Instead, they provide for movement from
the inside living area of the house to the outside living areas. A sliding door from the living area to the patio is a
special-purpose entrance. It is not an entrance through which street, drive, or sidewalk traffic would have an access.

A garage is an enclosed structure designed primarily to shelter an automobile. It may be usedfor many
secondary purposes – as a workshop, as a laundry, or for storage space. It is usuallyattached to the house in
some manner to provide a sheltered entry. A carport is a garage withone or more of the exterior walls
removed. It may consist of a free-standing roof completely separate from the house, or it may be built against
the existing walls of the house.
Prepare the needed tools and materials
Use the correct scale

Construct the wall thickness. Use the 0.15cm CHB for the major walls.

Start from the center of the wall.

Divide the floor area to other areas of the house. Use a .10cm interior wall partitions. Compute each area of the house,
then check the total floor area.

Lay out the position of doors and windows by center line and by their widths with a 4Hpencil. The standard width of
doors is 90-95cm like the main door.. While 80cm for bed rooms and service door. 0.75 cm for toilet and bath doors.

Label each part of the floor plan. Draw the kitchen and apply the work triangle principle indesigning the kitchen. Draft
the toilet and bath draw the fixtures properly.
Lay out extension lines. Use any dimension limits and layout dimensions legibly and neverrepeat dimensions.

Draw the schedule of doors and windows. Name doors and windows by sizes. Finally,draw the roof line of the floor
plan.
