All construction details are usually specified in drawings. For this reason, it is essential to be able to read and understand them and thereby adhere to the designs when building the house.  \nThe general ground plan describes the position and dimensions of the house. Other more detailed drawings explain the location and levels of the foundation and all other dimensions of the house. This information is required to be able to set out every step of works, starting with clearing and levelling the ground, followed by excavating the foundation, building the foundation and so on until the house is complete. Every work step requires setting out and checking the measurements and levels.  \nThis Learning Unit provides the necessary information on how to read and interpret drawings, how to set out for works and how to transfer and check levels.  \n2.2 Reading and interpreting construction drawings  \nThis section describes how to:  \n• Read and interpret basic work drawings, sketches and basic specifications,• Identify and interpret abbreviations and symbols on plans and work drawings;  \n• Identify any preliminary work from plans, and drawings; and  \n• Use plans, drawings and specifications to determine the quality and types of  \n􀀁 materials required.  \nSummary  \nConstruction drawings for houses consist of:  \n(i) Plans; showing all walls and openings as seen from top (bird’s eye view) with dimensions;  \n(ii) Sections; showing levels, dimensions and construction details in a vertical view (as if cut through with a knife) . To show the important details of a structure, several sections may be required;  \n(iii) Elevations: showing the outside (face) of the building.  \nReading and interpreting basic working drawings and sketches  \nThe purpose of drawings is to present clear, concise and easily readable information on a proposed building project. This way everyone involved in the project is informed of what exactly is required. Various types of drawing methods are used to communicate this information.  \nConstruction drawings are used to communicate ideas and information in a graphic form. Sketches are prepared first, then final working drawings are completed once the design details have been decided. Each drawing should be neat and clearly labelled. Sketches are not always drawn to scale.  \nThe exact location, dimensions and levels are shown on the construction drawings. These usually include a plan and cross-sections. The drawings or sketches include all essential structures, e.g. walls, windows, doors and columns. It also shows the exact measurements of these elements and describes the materials to be used.  \n6 Training rural masons  \nUnlike sketches, building drawings are presented at a specific scale. When preparing a set of work drawings it is not possible to draw the building elements at full size. Therefore the drawings are reduced proportionally to a size allowing it to fit on conveniently sized drawing paper. This reduction process is called scaling.
