Often, the site engineer requires drawings for a particular work stage from the Architect.
The Architect/Consultant may delay the preparing of drawings, in turn delaying the work due to non-availability of the drawings.
Once on site, the drawings are not studied/checked work then begins as per the available drawings.
As a result, printing mistakes or those caused by sheer oversight may result in the demolition and rectification of the works at a later stage.
Therefore pre-checking and detailed study of the drawing is a must.
To avoid any problem and rectifications the Engineer should ask for the drawings required from the Architect/Consultant well in advance.
Drawing received in advance can accommodate necessary changes for better planning, as per the site situations and requirements.
An Architect has his own style of detailing the drawings. But the engineers, expectations of detailing might be universal in a particular organization.
This can be done, provided the construction company gives standard guidelines regarding the details required in each drawing.
While preparing the first drawing, the Architect will put up the details as per the given specifications to avoid rejections/repeated mistakes in the drawings.
These factors emphasize the need for detailed working drawings to ensure smooth and efficient completion of the project.
