Whether it is a small house, a large office building, a bridge or other major infrastructure project, the ability to build; what can often be, very complex structures relies on our ability to present information that is accurate and coordinated.  \nThe term ‘construction information’ refers to much more than just drawings. While drawings provide a graphic representation of information that is needed to assemble and erect structures, it relies on a range of other forms of information that, together, define the different aspects of the project. Some of these will be graphical (as in drawings, models, etc.), others will be written (such as, specifications) while others are very specific forms of lists (schedules) that provide information about types of material, equipment, costs, etc.  \nAs construction projects have become more complex, the ways that we prepare, assemble, distribute and manage information has had to become more robust. When we have many different individuals and companies working on a project, each undertaking specialist tasks, it is very important that we are able to ensure the reliability and coordination between different bodies of information. While computers have revolutionised that way that we are able to generate, store, transmit and track information, these digital tools are just a more modern version of the systems that have been in place for a very long time.  \n6  \n\n| u6_working.indd 6 | 28/01/2020 10:28 |\n| --- | --- |\n\nLO1 Evaluate different types of construction information in the context of diverse project types  \nEssential Content  \nTopic: Construction drawings  \nWhat is the role of construction drawings?  \nHow is a site plan used?  \nWhat do we include in general arrangement drawings?

For many people, the ‘blueprint’ is the thing they think of when asked what kind of information is needed to construct something. The cliché of a person in a hard hat, with a roll of drawings, is often used as a proxy for ‘construction’.\u003Cbr>However, construction drawings are not simply drawings of a project. They are a highly specialised form of technical communication. They enable a construction professional to understand many different aspects of a project and to interpret the information that will allow them to undertake the operations necessary to construct the finished project.\u003Cbr>Increasingly, site operatives will view construction drawings on computer screens or tablets, rather than referring to printed drawings. However, the conventions associated with the graphical presentation of project information remain.\u003Cbr>A site plan is a top-down view of the overall area of the project. Typically, this will include the entire area of the site (where works will take place) and some adjacent areas. Site plans are usually drawn at a very large scale, so they can show the full extent of the site (and adjacent areas) within a given drawing size. Site plans are often begun following initial investigation and desk studies, with additional information added as it is obtained from site surveys and further investigation. Site plans show:\u003Cbr>• site boundaries\u003Cbr>• existing structures\u003Cbr>• trees and vegetation\u003Cbr>• roads, footpaths, ramps and parking areas\u003Cbr>• proposed buildings or infrastructure\u003Cbr>• dimensions\u003Cbr>• topographic information (levels, benchmarks, etc.) . |\n\n14  \n\n| u6_working.indd 14 | 28/01/2020 10:28 |\n| --- | --- |\n\nConstruction drawings are no","cbCaiouVpgtXINJk","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiouVpgtXINJk","pdf",2884012,11,"English","# About this Unit\n## Topic: Construction drawings\n## Topic: Assembly drawings and detail drawings","[{\"question\":\"What is the role of construction drawings in a building project?\",\"answer\":\"Construction drawings are specialised technical communication that helps professionals understand project aspects and interpret information needed to build the finished structure.\"},{\"question\":\"What does a site plan show and how is it prepared?\",\"answer\":\"A site plan is a top-down view of the project area, typically including site boundaries, existing structures, vegetation, access routes, proposed buildings/infrastructure, dimensions, and topographic information.
