Potential Client Your potential client will want to see how the finished product will look. Perspective Views and a floor plan will convey this concept. Very little text has been added to these drawings to maintain simplicity for the client.

Floor Plans Dimensions as well as materials will be of concern to the estimator. These floor plans will give the estimator the layout concept as well as the dimensions to consider when inspecting the elevation drawings. ** Please refer back to these dimensions to interpret section views! Back

Structural Engineer Back The structural engineer will show key dimensions, a structural system, soil bearing capacity, foundation, and forces of nature. Plan Section Section with Loadings Back

Dimensioned Floor Plan This floor plan includes dimensions of interior spaces. The main exterior dimensions of 50’x80’ were clipped when the image was exported from Sketch-up. Only the exterior walls will bear the roof load. This load will be distributed to the walls by modified “bowstring” trusses. Interior walls will support the ceiling and the HVAC components. Back

Section Exterior walls will be the primary load bearing walls as they will support the modified “bowstring trusses” in roof cavity. Exterior walls: 2x6 Wooden Frame Stud walls with Studs 16” on center; 6” masonry facade on N,E,and W facing walls; standard brick on S facing wall. See next page for more details. Back

Section with Loadings Back Indicate Potential Dead Loads such as snow, rain, ice, etc. These loads will act perpendicular to the surface of the roof. Similar loadings can be expected at each facet of the roof surface. Indicates potential wind loading. This can be expected on each face of the building. 10’ 7’ 13’ 12.5’ 12.5’ 12.5’ 12.5’ 24’ 50’ Exterior walls will be the primary load bearing walls as they will support the modified “bowstring trusses” in roof cavity. Exterior walls: 2x6 Wooden Frame Stud walls with Studs 16” on center; 6” masonry facade on N,E,and W facing walls; standard brick on S facing wall. Foundation: 2.5’ reinforced concrete slab. (House will have no basement due to proximity to height of water table. Back

HVAC Engineer The HVAC Engineer will show locations of heat pump and air handling units as well as sized duct runs and distribution. Plan Section Back

Plan for HVAC Red box in drawing below highlights location of the heat pump. Air Handler will be located in roof cavity. All duct work will be run in 3’ ceiling cavity. Given dimensions will be used to calculate needed air distribution to each area. Indicates Main Duct Run Indicates Duct Take-Offs Indicates approximate diffuser locations Back

Section for HVAC Back Design Temperatures: Winter: Outside = 10°F Inside = 67°F Summer: Outside = 93°F Inside = 76°F Air Handler will be located in roof cavity. All duct work will be run in 3’ ceiling cavity provided. Diffusers will be located in ceiling. Data for calculations: Floor to ceiling height = 10’ Exterior walls composed of 6” masonry façade, 2x6 stud walls, R-5 insulation, and painted gypsum wall board All windows have thermal glass with a .55 shading coefficient Back

Comments & Suggestions Although I am no longer completely opposed to the use of this program, it does have many shortcomings in comparison to a tool such as AutoCAD. However, in terms of producing aesthetically pleasing 3D renderings, this program holds the upper hand. The structural engineering drawing and HVAC drawing concepts were difficult to accomplish in this program. It is clearly not intended for detailed engineering uses. This project took a great deal of individual effort. The massive quality of this project could be greatly masked by the use of teams or small groups. Learning Sketch-up in a week’s time (learning enough to produce the diagrams) was a huge undertaking. Although the tutorials were helpful, the learning process was time consuming. Back
