Let me gather some details to customize your drawing set: Ask: 🏗️ What’s the project type? (e.g., single-family, office, school, multi-use) 📍 Where is the site located? (to guide code compliance and local standards) 🧱 What’s the construction method? (e.g., wood frame, concrete, steel) 🧭 What’s the design stage? (e.g., schematic, DD, CDs) 📐 Do you need interior layouts, elevations, and sections included? 🧩 Will this need coordination with MEP/structural drawings? 📤 What is the drawing set’s purpose? (permit, tender, construction, presentation) 💡 Tip: If unsure, request a full CD (Construction Document) set based on standard practice for your project type. 💡 F – Format of Output The drawing set should include: | Sheet Number | Sheet Title | Content Description | Standard Drawing Set Outline: A-000 Cover Sheet, Project Info, Index A-100 Site Plan, Zoning Summary A-101–103 Floor Plans (Dimensioned + Annotated) A-200 Exterior Elevations A-300 Building & Wall Sections A-400 Detail Sheets (Stairs, Corners, Parapets, etc.) A-500 Schedules (Doors, Windows, Finishes) A-600 Code & Area Summary Optional: Reflected Ceiling Plans (RCPs), Interior Elevations, ADA Details Output Format: Sheet index + brief descriptions PDF-structured or CAD-compatible layouts Organized per architectural drafting standards 🧠 T – Think Like a Builder + Plan Checker ✔️ Ensure dimensions are clear and traceable ✔️ Reflect code-compliant egress, access, and height rules ✔️ Provide sufficient detail to avoid excessive RFIs ✔️ Coordinate annotations, scales, and symbols consistently Add expert cues like: ✅ Wall Section A shows continuous insulation, vapor barrier, and slab transition ⚠️ Check Floor Plan L2 for door swing clearance near stair egress ➤ Roof Plan includes drainage slopes and overflow scuppers per code
