At first glance, reading an architectural plan might seem like a very tiresome task if you are not experienced in this field. In order to get started on the construction, you need to take a look at the overall layout of the house, focusing on a room and the walls first. Generally, you want to look at the big architectural planning picture first, then work your way to the smaller items such as doors, room names, windows and gradually move down those details.
After you have done that, you could go ahead and take a look at the specific dimensions noted down by the architect. You must know how to read the sizes of the spaces that you are looking at in order for you to know what the constructor plans to build. This planning process has been used to showcase and design spaces for many years.
Once you have managed to read the notes, you must know what each individual symbol on the drawing means. In order to understand these symbols, you must look on the back of the drawing and find the symbol index. With the symbol index in mind, it will be easier for you to understand what the architect is planning to do as you will have a reference point that can guide you. By using these methods, architects can easily transmit large amounts of information without a cluttered drawing.
With the use of such plans, building planners are able to convey their initial design so that every person can understand the drawings. When you read these plans, you want to start from the big to the smaller picture, then rewind and look at the big picture again. By using this method, you will find it easier to know what their plans and intentions are.
Building consultants follow this technique on all their designs because it is generally recommended to double line the walls in their drawings. There are also several other conventions that they use, but they can be tricky to understand. You should stick to learning the basics about architectural designs to understand the intentions of building designers.
The next thing in the architectural drawing that you want to check includes the detail call outs. These are usually shown as circles or numbers enclosed within one or more circles. This way, the information is conveyed in an organized manner and there are proper links between all areas of the plan. Such details could include sections, elevations, and details.
These links allow you to navigate to all areas of the plan you are reading with ease. For example, by looking at the plan for the first floor, you will be able to see detail callouts on the walls shown on the floor plan. These detail call outs might include information about sheet as well as detail number, which will both direct you to the specific area of the plan where you can see the information that is available.
These plans will also provide other information such as the material used or any other notable material that the reader wants to learn more about. You could have one of these plans for your bedroom, for your living room, for your bathroom, practically for every room in your house. These links will tie the whole floor plan together in order to convey the design of the architect.
