SCHEDULES

grouped (fig. 10-25) so that references may be made more easily from the general drawing. The scale selected for details depends on how large it needs to be drawn to clearly explain the required information. Details are usually drawn at a larger scale than the sections, generally 1 in., 1 1/2 in., or 3 in. = 1 ft. Details commonly used for installation of items such as doorframes and window frames, fireproofing, and material connections are readily available in the Graphic Standards and Sweet’s catalogs. These typical details, however, are to be adapted to the particular building being drawn. You may avoid the use of “typical” details when different conditions actually exist. It is important for an EA to understand construction well enough to make an accurate detail drawing. Selecting the particular sheet to draw the detail is important. Details that relate to the drawing are placed on that sheet; if space is limited, all other details should be placed with the section or schedules or on a separate sheet set aside for details. Likewise, door details should be placed on the sheet with the floor plans, on the sheet with the door schedule, on a sheet with sections, or on a sheet set aside for details. The following procedures are given to guide you in the development and drawing of details: 1. Lay out the details on the particular sheet. Draw extension lines, dimensions lines, and guidelines for all of the dimensions lightly. 2. Darken in the details, one at a time, using a system similar to that used in drawing sections. Add labels, notes, and dimensions. Remember to show all of the sizes and thicknesses of materials required. 3. Add material symbols and place title and scale below the detail to complete the drawing. SCHEDULES SCHEDULES are tabular or graphic arrange- ments of extensive information or notes related to construction materials. The use of schedules presents a quick and easy way for planners, estimators, contractors, and suppliers to share similar data, hence reducing construction errors and saving time. In the SEABEEs, the success of the planners and estimators (P&E) in accurately preparing takeoff, of the supply department (S-4) in properly ordering construction materials, and of the construction crew (line companies and detachments) in installing the materials in their proper locations depends greatly upon the efficiency with which the relative information is conveyed on the drawing (plans). The material information most commonly placed in schedules relates to doors, windows, room finishes, lintels, and other structural elements. The information required on a DOOR SCHEDULE varies from a bare minimum (for small jobs) to extensive (for large projects). A door schedule may include the following: door number, quantity, mark or code number, type, size, material description, lintel, and remarks. An example of a tabular door schedule is shown in figure 10-26. Doors are commonly Figure 10-26.-Example of a door schedule. 10-31
