placed   a   minimum   of   3   inches   below   the   space provided  for  the  revision  block  when  the  conventional horizontal title block is used. When the vertical title block is used, you can place the general notes on the right   side   of   the   drawing.   General   notes   for architectural  and  structural  drawings  can  include, when applicable, roof, floor, wind, seismic, and other loads,  allowable  soil  pressure  or  pile-bearing  capacity, and  allowable  unit  stresses  of  all  the  construction materials   used   in   the   design.   Notes   for   civil, mechanical, electrical, sanitary, plumbing, and similar drawings  of  a  set  can  include,  when  applicable, references  for  vertical  and  horizontal  control (including soundings) and basic specific design data. General  notes  can  also  refer  to  all  of  the  notes grouped  according  to  materials  of  construction  in  a tabular  form,  called  a  SCHEDULE.  Schedules  for items, like doors, windows, rooms, and footings, are somewhat  more  detailed.  Their  formats  will  be presented  later  in  this  chapter. MAJOR CATEGORIES OF PROJECT DRAWINGS Generally,  working  or  project  drawings  can be divided  into  the  following  major  categories:  civil, architectural,  structural,  mechanical,  electrical,  and  fire protection. In Seabee construction, however, the major categories  most  commonly  used  are  as  follows:  CIVIL, ARCHITECTURAL,   STRUCNTURAL, MECHANICAL, and ELECTRICAL sets of drawings. Regardless  of  the  category,  working  drawings serve the following functions: • They provide a basis for making material, labor, and equipment estimates before construction begins. •  They  give  instructions  for  construction,  showing the sizes and locations of the various parts. • They provide a means of coordination between the  different  ratings. • They complement the specifications; one source of information is incomplete without the others. • Civil working drawings encompass a variety of plans and information to include the following: •  Site  preparation  and  site  development • Fe ricing •  Rigid  and  flexible  pavements  for  roads  and walkways • Environmental pollution control • Water supply units (that is, pumps and wells) Depending  on  the  size  of  the  construction  project, the number of sheets in a set of civil drawings can vary from  a  bare  minimum  to  several  sheets  of  related drawings. Generally, on an average-size project, the first sheet has a location map, soil boring log, legends, and  it  sometimes  has  site  plans  and  small  civil  detail drawings.  (Soil  boring  tests  are  conducted  to determine the water table of the construction site and classify  the  existing  soil.)  Civil  drawings  are  often identified with the designating letter C on their title blocks. SITE PLANS A  SITE  PLAN  furnishes  the  essential  data  for laying out the proposed building lines. It is drawn from notes and sketches based upon a survey. It shows the contours, boundaries, roads, utilities, trees, structures, references,  and  other  significant  physical  features  on or   near   the   construction   site.   The   field   crews (Equipment  Operators)  are  able  to  estimate  and prepare the site for conduction and to finish the site (including   landscaping)   upon   completion   of construction by showing both existing and finished contours. As an SW, you should be familiar with the methods  and  the  symbols  used  on  maps  and topographic   drawings. Site plans are drawn to scale. In most instances, the engineer’s scale is used, rather than the architect’s scale. For buildings on small lots, the scales normally used are 1 inch = 10 feet. PROJECT  FOLDERS The intent of this section is to acquaint you with the   basic   concepts   and   principles   of   project management and is NOT intended to be a reference but also to make you familiar with the contents of a project   folder. The  project  folder,  or  package,  consists  of  nine individual  project  files.  These  files  represent  the project in paper format-a type of project history from start  to  finish. File No. 1-General Information File File  No.  1  is  the  General  Information  File  and contains the following information: LEFT   SIDE—The   left   side   of   the   General Information  File  basically  contains  information 1-22
