Synopsis

Most site mistakes aren't caused by bad workmanship. They're caused by a drawing that was misread, out of date, or never checked against the one beside it.
This guide teaches civil and site engineers to read construction drawings the way experienced engineers do: sheet by sheet, revision by revision, and always against the other disciplines. It explains what each kind of drawing is for and how to turn it into something buildable.
Inside:

• The anatomy of a drawing sheet, scales, grids and levels
• Lines, symbols, hatching and abbreviations
• Structural, reinforcement, architectural and services drawings
• Bar bending schedules and reinforcement notation
• Finding clashes before they're built
• Revisions, shop drawings, as-builts and RFIs
• Taking quantities and setting out from drawings
• A walk-through of a small building set, plus a self-test

Includes a drawing check, registers, an RFI log, a clash log and quick-reference tables.
