The function of documentation is to transfer information accurately so as to provide complete understanding of what is required and to be a record of what was built. A minimum standard of documentation is required in the interests of all parties involved in a structural steel project.  \nThe intention of this Technical Note is to provide a basic set of guidelines for what should be included in the documentation of the structural steelwork. The prime focus is on traditional documentation but consideration is also given to the implications of Building Information Modelling (BIM) . Additional more detailed information may be found where required in the References cited in this Technical Note.  \nAll documentation should have the following attributes:  \n1. Accuracy;  \n2. Clarity of intent;  \n3. Checked thoroughly before issue in accordance with a firm’s quality plan;  \n4. Coordinated within the set of drawings and between drawings from others;  \n5. Completeness and consistency;  \n6. Contractually enforceable;  \n7. Clear in the allocation of responsibility;  \n8. Conforming to accepted drawing standards.  \nThe documentation provided typically involves the following types:  \ni. Architectural drawings;  \nii. Structural engineering drawings;  \niii. Specification;  \niv. Services drawings (where relevant);  \nv. Shop detail drawings.  \nClearly, a number of parties can be involved in the presentation of the various types of documentation and coordination between disciplines is a significant issue as a result. Increasingly, 3-dimensional models and/or BIM are being used to aid coordination between disciplines.  \nDRAWING STANDARDS  \nThe relevant drawing standards for Australian use are contained in the AS 1100 suite of Standards, the main relevant Parts being AS 1100.101 , AS 110.201, AS1100 .301 and AS/NZS 1100.501 (see References) .  \n\n| ASI TECHNICAL NOTE | REF: ASI TN009 Version 2 | Page 2 of 8 |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n\nARCHITECTURAL AND SERVICES DRAWINGS  \nDimensional set-out of the building and set-out of the location of all steelwork members should be clear on the architectural drawings. The use of architectural and services drawings should be viewed as a supplement to the structural engineering drawings for the purposes of defining member connectivity, supplementary details and other construction information. Generally, little or no structural engineering information is shown on the architectural drawings.  \nArchitectural drawings should comply with AS 1100. 301, while mechanical engineering drawings should comply with AS 1100.201.  \nA coordination check should be carried out by both architect and structural engineer to ensure that the information presented in respect of the structural steel members is fully consistent between the two sets of drawings. As noted earlier, 3-dimensional models and BIM can assist in this regard.  \nSHOP DETAIL DOCUMENTATION  \nShop detail drawings are documents prepared specifically for the fabrication and erection processes. These drawings contain member sizes, full dimensioning of members , all associated plates and gusset details, weld sizes and hole diameters. Each steelwork piece is shown individually and allows the fabrication shop to fabricate all items of structural steelwork required. The preparation of such drawings involves the interpretation and coordination of architectural, services and structural engineering drawings and any other relevant information about the building.  \nShop detailing is usually unde","cbCaifxVbNOiUF3u","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaifxVbNOiUF3u","pdf",180320,"English","# Introduction\n# Drawing Standards\n# Architectural and Services Drawings\n# Shop Detail Documentation\n# Structural Engineering Documentation","[{\"question\":\"Why is adequate documentation important for structural steel projects?\",\"answer\":\"It ensures there is no ambiguity about project requirements, minimizes disputes and contract variations, reduces requests for information, and avoids fabrication and erection problems.
