Though it’s a matter of sorrow the truth is when it comes to a matter of understanding the architecture drawing, the thing is most of the architects get confused even with a few basic factors. However, in this article, I actually tried my level best to help you with understanding the 4 major factors that will for now work as a pretty good primary aid.

But before that let me provide you a pretty short brief on why you need to understand architecture drawing. To be very honest, it really doesn’t matter what type of project you are actually going to construct; even if you are planning to construct a bridge or building project this is essential for you to have a solid understanding about architectural drawing. Basically, an architectural drawing actually works like a goal of any architecture. This is true that without having a goal, we should not set our aim, is it? So architectural drawing works like a goal or target or even the objective of any project. So the very first and foremost requirement for constructing any project is to understand the architectural drawing which is also known as blueprints or plans. 

So to start, you will have to go through the cover sheet which will let you know the name of the project, the name of the architect’s, the address and contact information together with the date and project location. Mainly these 5 things you can find in a cover sheet which seems like a cover of a book. And one of the major as well as vital advantages that you will receive from the cover sheet is that it will show you the drawing of the finished product which will actually let you know what your house will be looked like. Hope you got my point. 

Next, you will need to go through the plan index and just like the cover sheets I mentioned in the above the plan index will be contained few information like the index of the plan sheets, contents, abbreviation and the design note which has been done occasionally. 

Let us talk about the site plans in which you will get a chance to familiarize yourself with the topographical info, the demolition plan together with the site utility and the site plans are in general numbered starting pages with a capital C. 

Last but not the least is the location plan which can mainly be divided into two parts which are area map together with the enlarged location map but in general you won’t find it in all the set of the plan. However, if you are really looking to get enough info to locate the project, it is actually the right place to search for.
