HVAC drawings include an electrical schematic that shows the electrical circuitry for the HVAC system. HVAC plans are both mechanical and electrical drawings in one plan.

Question 4: Landscape Plan

Answer:

Shows any trees on the property; construction features such as walkways, driveways,or utilities; the dimensions of the property; and possibly a legal description of the property.

Question 5: Plumbing Plans

Answer:

Are engineered plans showing the layout for the plumbing system that supplies the hot and cold water, for the sewage disposal system, and for the location of plumbing fixtures. For commercial projects, each system may be on a seperate plan. A plumbing isometric drawing is part of the plumbing plan.

Question 6: Architectural Plans

Answer:

Also called architectural drawing's. They show the design of the project. Some parts of the architectural plans are: floor plan, roof plan, elevation, section drawings, and the finish schedules of the doors and windows for the building.

Question 7: Floor Plan

Answer:

Also known as a plan view. The plan is an aerial view of the layout of each room. It provides the most information about the project. It shows exterior and interior walls, doors, stairways, and mechanical equipment. The floor plan shows the floor as someone would see it from above if the upper part of the building was removed.

Question 8: Contour Lines

Answer:

The natural contours of the earth shown on a blueprint

Question 9: Section Drawings

Answer:

These plans show the materials to be used for the walls, whether concrete or masonry, and whether the framing is wood or steel.

Question 15: Dimension Lines

Answer:

A line which represents distance.

Question 16: Roof Plan

Answer:

Is a view of the roof from above the building. It shows the shape of the roof and the materials that will be used to finish it.

Question 17: Mechanical Plans
