CONSTRUCTION DRAWINGS
Generally, construction or “working drawing” furnish enough
information for the builder to complete an entire project and incorporate all
three main groups of drawings-architectural, electrical, and mechanical.
Normally, construction drawings include the detail drawings, assembly
drawings, bill of materials and specifications.
Figure 1 illustrates the conventional symbols for the more common
types of material used on structures. Figure 2 shows the more common

three dimensions. The example opposite has been drawn with a 30-degree
set square. Designs are always drawn at 30 degrees in isometric projection.
SIMPLE EXERCISE

right, plus a vertical guideline in the center of the drawing. In this example
three edges of the cube have been drawn over the guidelines (they are
slightly darker).
