A building project may be broadly divided into
two major phases: the design phase and the
construction phase. First, the preliminary drawings
are prepared during the design phase. They are
prepared by the EFD or by an architects and
engineers (A/E) firm. The preliminary drawings are
used for exploring design concepts between the
designer and the user (customer), making material
selection, getting preliminary cost estimates, and
serving as a basis for preparing the finished working
drawings.
The presentation drawings are developed to
show the proposed building or facility in an attractive
setting in its natural surroundings at the proposed site.
Since these drawings are actually used to sell an idea or
a design, you will probably see this type of drawing
only as a cover sheet to a set of construction drawings.
In the second phase, after approval has been given
for construction, the working drawings are
developed. Shop drawings are supplied by
manufacturers to show fabrication of building parts.
After review by the architect and engineer, they
become a part of the working drawings. Throughout
your career, you will hear working drawings referred
to as blueprints, construction drawings, prints, or
plans. Basically, these terms are all correct; they can be
used interchangeably.
As mentioned earlier, the construction drawings
are developed from the preliminary drawings. With the
collaboration of the EFD and the architect and the
engineer, both the materials to be used and the
