These drawings give a visual representation of how the space will look when completed as well as where items are to be installed. Each drawing has a purpose and presents information necessary for individuals involved with the project, including the installer, contractor, electrician, plumber, and others involved. Each page in the set of drawings is numbered and cross-referenced to the relevant drawing. There is an industry standard order of drawing placement within the set of plans.  \nAn overview of each page found in a set of NKBA drawings and documents is described in this chapter. You will learn how to create the various drawings step-by-step as you read through this book. To help you focus on key components of this chapter, learning objectives are listed next.  \nLearning Objective 1: Identify drawings in a set of NKBA plans.  \nLearning Objective 2: Understand cut height and its relationship to the floor plan.  \nLearning Objective 3: Understand components found on the different types of drawings.  \nTHE SET OF NKBA DRAWINGS  \nEach sheet in a set of drawings is identified with a title block placed at the bottom or right side of the page. Drawings are bound on the left side. The title block contains important information that identifies the type of drawing and project specifics (see Figure 1. 1) .  \nTogether the drawings and documents communicate the entire scope of the project as well as all the pertinent details. We must have client approval on all drawings for the project to ensure there are no questions regarding the work that will be completed. It is important that the entire set of drawings be reviewed by everyone involved with the project. The typical set of NKBA project drawings consists of a title page, floor plan, construction plan, mechanical plan, and interior elevations. Detail drawings and cross-sectional drawings may be needed to show more specific details. A perspective drawing is often included to show a threedimensional view of the space. Additional drawings may include a countertop plan, soffit  \n2 NKBA DRAWINGS AND DOCUMENTS  \nFIGURE 1.1 The title block on each sheet cross references the other drawings in the set of drawings.  \nplan, or reflected ceiling plan. Other documents also typically included are a schedule, specifications, and a design statement (see Figure 1.2) .  \nTitle Page  \nThe title page is the cover page for a set of drawings. Information typically included on the title page is the client or building name, location, designer’s name and design firm’s name, a key to the symbols for materials, and an index of the drawings. It may also include an illustration (see Figure 1.3) .  \nFloor Plan  \nThe floor plan is the central reference point for all the other drawings in the set of documents. A floor plan is an overhead cutaway view of the room. It generally depicts the entire room and shows all major structural elements, such as walls, door swings, door openings, partitions, windows, and archways. It also shows cabinet, appliance, and fixture placement, dimensions, nomenclature, and other necessary notes. There are industry standards used for drafting a floor plan, so that other individuals involved in the project will be able to interpret the information on the drawings (see Figure 1.4) .  \nThe typical scale used for NKBA drawings is ½″ = 1′−0″(1:20 metric) . This scale allows the drafter to provide the required level of detail. The dimensions written on the plans are exact and are always used as the actual measurement when reading a plan. Never use a scale to measure dimensions on a floor plan. The plan could be distorted from duplication or a line could be off. Always use the dimensions written on the floor plan. Sometimes the drawings may not be perfectly to scale, in which case there may be a notation “NTS”(“not to scale”) in the title block.  \nNKBA DRAWINGS AND DOCUMENTS 3  \nThere are li","cbCaicXKbLnnJajs","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaicXKbLnnJajs","pdf",1152897,12,"English","# The Set of NKBA Drawings\n## Learning Objectives\n## Title Block and Page Organization\n## Typical NKBA Drawing Set\n## Title Page\n## Floor Plan\n## Construction Plan\n## Mechanical Plan","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of NKBA kitchen and bath drawings as a set?\",\"answer\":\"NKBA drawings provide a visual representation of the completed space and specify where items will be installed.
