Importance of Structural engineering drawings

Structural engineering drawings if prepared in coordination with
Architect and Contractor save on costs. Accurate drawings help enhance
engineering efficiencies, improve construction quality and shortens
design cycle time.

The structural drafter is responsible for producing working drawings
that clearly describes the schedule and material involved for each
phase of the construction. It covers details for design layout,
presentation, fabrication shop, erection schedules and building code
standards.

To generate accurate construction drawings the drafter must have
thorough domain expertise, knowledge of local building codes and
relevant industry experience. It is also important to adept to new
technologies and inclination to understand client’s specific
requirements.

Construction Drawings plays crucial role in the success of any
structural construction and bidding process. It provides platform for
planning and estimating cost for each phase of the construction. It
also provides necessary instructions for design sustainability,
commissioning, quantity of materials and the delivery schedule.
Construction drawings stored in digital format can be used for future
reference and allows the building authorities to review design and
offer recommendations for approval.

To prepare the drawings one may require documents such as Site plans,
elevations, cross-section details, Floor plans, Footing plans,
Mechanical fixture plans, Structural load calculations, Piping and
Plumbing layouts, Permission sketches, Electrical panel schedule,
Electrical service diagram and many more as per the guidelines.
