• Making corrections, making deliveries, running prints, obtaining permits, and drawing simple

drawings from detailed sketches.

• An understanding of construction methods, mastery of office standards and drawing conventions,

and confidence in ability and an effective manager of your time.

• Simple drawings designed by someone else such as cabinets, site plans, and roof plans.
• Detailed sketches or examples of similar jobs.
• Building codes, National Association of Home Builders or other local standards, Sweets,

Architectural Graphics, and Time-Saver Standards.

• Student listings will vary but should include state employment offices, web links for AIBD, archi-

tectural and engineering associations, municipal web links, and architectural fabricators.

• No matter the chosen field, the need for and the requirements for obtaining a license will vary for

each state. Prospects for employment in each area will depend on the local economy and can be determined by visiting the website of the branch of the desired state profession, the US bureau of Labor Statistics, the US Department of Labor, the area unemployment office, or employment websites such as Monster.com.CAD technician—No license is required to be a CAD technician, but the National Council of Building Designer Certification (NCBDC) can certify them as AIBD design professionals.Architect—This term legally restricted to individuals who have been licensed by the state where they practice. Obtaining a license typically requires a masters degree, three years as an intern, and two years to complete the registration exam process.Engineer—A license is required to practice as an engineer and can be applied for after obtaining a bachelor’s degree and three years of practical experience, followed by successful completion of a state-administered examination.

• Student reports will vary based on the areas of construction that they choose and the economy of

your local area but students should come away from this research with an understanding of the responsibilities and pay that they can expect when they complete their studies.

• Student reports will vary based on the size of the firms they visit and the economy of your local

area. After determining state requirements to practice specific areas of design, students should meet with a counselor and prepare and present you with a plan for obtaining their goal.

• Results will vary based on the articles that are found but should reflect key skills required to per-

form an effective search.

• Student reports will vary based on the areas of construction that they choose, the strength of the

overall economy within your state, the strength of the construction industry in your area, and the supply of properly trained applicants.

• Common methods of resolving conflict involve having conversation with the other person in private;

give the other person an opportunity to voice their view of the situation; Keep the conversation focused on the problem and avoid personal attacks; determine areas where you each agree and disagree; deter- mine goals that are both parties can accept; identify steps that can be taken to resolve the issue.

• Reports will vary based on the articles that are reported on.
• Student reports will vary based on the forms that the downloaded. Require students to obtain and

neatly complete the needed forms required for your state based on each students’ circumstances.

• Student reports will vary based on the firm. Requiring students to complete an interview with an

HR department will serve as an excellent method of helping students deal with fears they may have about interviewing.

• Student reports will vary based on the firm and the behaviors that they choose. After students

report on their finding, have the students incorporate the behavior in their classroom.

• Student reports will vary based on the firm and the types of projects they work with but should

reflect past projects the company has been involved with, and difficulties that had to be overcome to complete the project, and travel required for various staff involved with the project. Reports should also include information related to employment opportunities for people from various cultural backgrounds

• Samples will vary based on which branch each student joins and attends.
• The code of ethics will vary based on the sites visited, but will reflect that each employee has a right

to expect a safe, harassment free environment. Guidelines typically reflect what are expected of each employee in regard to honesty, integrity, respect, and the responsibility of each other and to clients.

• Results will vary based on your area, and the economy and the fields the students research.
• Results will vary based on your area, and the economy.
• Results will vary but typically no one is allowed to legally use the term designer without being

certified.

• Samples will vary based on students’ background, but should reflect education, previous related

employment history, skills related to the job, and aspirations.

• The student portfolio will vary as they progress through your program, but should include samples

of work that demonstrate a wide variety of projects the student has mastered.

• Answers will vary but should reflect local trends in design. Reports should include legal require-

ments based on local and state requirements, as well as problems designers encountered in starting their business, methods of soliciting clients, methods of determining their fees, hiring and employee problems, and problems and benefits of maintaining their business.

• A bubble drawings is a non-scaled drawing used during the initial drawing layout stage to plan

room locations based on site and traffic requirements.

• Drawings will vary based on the building where classes are held, but should reflect major compo-

nents of the building including a north arrow, exterior access, exits, hallways, classrooms and other major features.

• Planning the furniture layout for a room can help insure that the room will meet the demands of its

intended use.

• Most building departments require site, floor, and foundation plans, exterior elevations, and a

building section as the minimum drawings to get a building permit.

• Supplemental drawings that may be required for a building permit include grading, topography,

framing, electrical, mechanical, plumbing plans, interior elevations, and construction details.

• Major steps of the design process include the initial contact with the client, preliminary design stud-

ies, room planning, initial working drawings, final design considerations, completion of the working drawings and written specifications, permit procedure, job supervision, and completion of change orders.

• The CAD technician will often complete the drawings started by the job captain, assemble needed

information for meetings, and update drawings based on changes that occur during meetings with the client.

• Sketches will vary greatly based on imagination, but should reflect orientation of the sleeping and

living areas to the path of the sun or the view, access to the house on the north side of the home toward the street, and a floor plan that reflects the lot slope.Chapter 1 Problem Solutions Chapter 1 of the text has no problems.

• A set of architectural drawings for home construction, also called construction documents or

working drawings provides all of the views, dimensions, and specifications needed to build the home, and can have many pages called sheets.

• Dimensions are numbers that provide the measurements used for construction.
• Specifications are exact statements describing the characteristics of a particular aspect of the project.
• Sheet blocks are specific areas on a drawing that contain general information. Sheet blocks can

include the title block and revision block.

• Scale is used to identify the ratio of measuring units expressing a proportional relationship between

a drawing and the full-size item it represents.

• The scale of a drawing is usually noted in the drawing title block or below the view that differs in

scale from that given in the title block.

• The drawing scale selected typically depends on: Actual size of the home or feature. Amount of

detail to be shown. Sheet size selected. Amount of dimensions and notes required.

• The architect scale is used to represent feet and inches, where, each inch (“) represents a foot (‘)

and is subdivided into multiples of 12 parts to represent inches and fractions of an inch.

• Architect scale notations are shown as a portion of an inch equal to 1'-0". For example 1/4"51'-0".

This means that one foot is scaled down to 1/4 of an inch.

• Architectural drawing of a room or building as if seen from above.
• Floor plans for most residential structures are provided at 1/4" 5 1'–0".
• Elevations are two-dimensional views looking at the outside of the building or interior features.
• Exterior elevations are commonly displayed at 1/4" 5 1'–0", although some architects prefer to draw

the front, or most important, elevation at 1/4" 5 1'–0" and the rest of the elevations at 1/8" 5 1'–0".

• Details.
• Cross section.
• Construction details and cross sections can be shown at larger scales to help clarify specific features.
• Some cross sections can be drawn at 1/4" 5 1'–0" with clarity, but complex cross sections require a

scale of 3/8" 5 1'–0" or 1/2" 5 1'–0" to be clear.

• Construction details can be displayed at any scale between 1/2" 5 1'–0" and 3" 5 1'–0", depending

on the amount of information presented.

• Civil.
• Civil engineer.
• Civil engineer scales.
• Millimeter.
• A title block is usually found on the lower right corner, along the bottom edge, or along the right

edge of architectural drawings, and contains information about the drawing such as the company name and logo, architect and drafter name, drawing title, and other general information.

• Drawing borders are usually thick lines that go around the entire sheet. Top, bottom, and right-side

border lines are usually between 3/8" and 1/2" away from the sheet edge. The left border can be between 3/4" and 1 1/2" away from the sheet edge.

• This extra-wide left margin allows for binding drawing sheets.
• 1/8"51'-0", 1/4"51'-0", 1/2"51'-0", 3/4"51'-0", 1-1/2"51'-0", 3"51'-0".
• The 50 scale is popular in civil drafting for drawing plats of subdivisions.
• 1/4"51'-0".
• Architectural drafting offices generally use sheet sizes, in inches, of 18 3 24, 24 3 36, 28 3 42,

30 3 42, 30 3 48, or 36  3 48.
