Design Phase Drawings O Establish the scope & design of a project O Schematic design phase- may include sketches, renderings or conceptual diagrams O These drawings describe the size, shape, volume, spatial relationships, and functional characteristics of components O Design development phase- multiple views of project shown 5

Design Phase Drawings O Primarily tools to convey ideals of the visual effect of a project O Show the qualities of space in terms of surface texture, finishes, lighting, and color 6

Construction Drawings O Consist of Contract & Record drawings O Contract drawings may included: O Demolition- show existing construction to be removed O Renovation – existing construction to be modified O New Construction – construction to be provided 7
