Building Drawings
• A number of different drawings are required
to be completed and submitted to the local
authorities when developers want to build
new buildings.
• This group of drawings is called a Project
Set.
Project Set
• A project set consists of a number of different
drawings including
– elevations
– sketches
– sectional drawings
– schematic diagrams
– location plans
– site plans
– floor plans
Project Set
• Elevations, sketches and sectional drawings
are required to view the actual building.
• Schematic diagrams are used by tradesmen
to install any electrical circuit work or
plumbing and heating.
• Schematic diagrams use British Standards
symbols covered in these slides.

Location Plans
• This type of drawing shows the position of the
new building in its surrounding area.
• It is as if you are looking at the building from an
aeroplane above.
• It is normally drawn to a scale of 1:1250.
Location Plans
• This is an example of a location plan.
Site Plans
• This type of drawing shows the building from
closer in than a Location Plan.
• It is like a bird is looking down at it.
• It shows the building in its immediate surrounding
area.
• It is normally drawn at a scale of 1:200.
Site Plans
This is an example of a site plan.
Floor Plans
• This type of drawing shows the internal layout of a
building including the materials used in the walls.
• Any electrical appliances fitted will also be drawn
like, radiators, electrical sockets and switches.
• This type of drawing is normally drawn at a scale of
1:50.
Floor Plans
• This is an example of
a floor plan.

Pictorial Views
• There are 5 types of Pictorial Views required
for S/Grade Graphic Communication
• These are the ‘3D’ or more correctly 2½D ones
:

Isometric
Oblique
2 Point Perspective
1 Point Perspective
Planometric
Isometric
• Drawn using 30/60
Set Square
• Drawn actual full size
on all dimensions
• Therefore, it is not a
‘real’ view
• Shows three surfaces
of object in one view
Oblique
• Drawn using 45 Set
Square
• Draw elevation &
project back @ 45
• Can be drawn ½
depth or full depth
• Circles are drawn
true circles using
compass
1 - Point Perspective
• Drawn with one
Vanishing Point
• Draw Ortho View &
run through VP
• Gives more ‘realistic’
impression of object
2 - Point Perspective
• Drawn with two
Vanishing Points
• Horizon Line runs
between VP’s
• Gives ‘realistic’
impression of finished
object
• Allows object to be
drawn from any angle
Planometric
• Draw plan of room at
angle of 30/45/60
• Project straight up
from plan
• Draw all dimensions
full size
• Gives client ‘realistic’
view of room interior
