Working Drawing Manual
Cut the cost and risk of creating crucial construction documents. Errors and omissions in working drawings are the primary causes of building failures, construction cost overruns, extra charges by contractors, and lawsuits. Fred Stitt, a pioneering developer of quality control systems for architects, engineers, and contractors, offers you a comprehensive, up-to-date set of checklists to ensure the accuracy and completeness of these drawings, whatever the building project may be. The portable, easy-to-use Working Drawing Manual includes a system for total working drawing planning and management, plus coordination checklists for: residential, commercial, and institutional projects of all sizes; remodeling and renovation drawings; architectural coordination with landscape, HVAC, plumbing, electrical, civil, structural, and related engineering drawings. Designed to be used with Pat Guthrie's Cross-Check, which can help ensure the continuity and integration of working drawings, the Manual covers all new construction technologies, code requirements, types of bid documentation, and methods of drawing organization, including CADD. Enhanced by a self-study module that assists users in gaining AIA CEU accredidatiion, Working Drawing Manual pays for itself over and over again by helping you avoid expensive, time-consuming problems.
