Drawing number Scale Title Comments
G(——)001 1:100 Plan at level 1—Basic These are the basic floor plans from which copy
002 2 — ,, negatives will be taken for development by the
003 3 — ,, architect and other consultants into elemental
004 4 — ,, plans. Numbering of plans by levels
005 5 — ,, aids retrieval of elementalised information
and offers a useful framework for identifying
scheduled components, e.g. (31)2/11, identifies
external (window) opening no. 11 on level 2.
These plans in their basic form
will not be issued for construction
purposes.
G(——)006— 009 1:100 Elevations 6,7,8,9—Basic Similar basic drawings of elevations and sections.
010 — 013 1:100 Sections 10,11,12,13—Basic Composite drawing numbering, e.g. 006–009,
enables unique identification of each of several
drawings on the same sheet. E.g. the second
elevation may be referred to simply as G (——)
007, rather than ‘detail no. 2 on drawing G (——) 006’.
Sections are skeletal only and confined to giving
a datum for each of the plan levels and giving a
general picture only to the contractor.
G(——)014 1:200 Site plan The site plan is the only G (——) drawing to
contain elemental information and to be issued
for construction purposes, although the G(——)
elevation and sections will be issued for the
contractor’s background information.
G(2—)001 1:100 Plan at level 1—Primary elements The key set of plans giving dimensioned
002 2 — ,, setting out information about the building. Note
003 3 — ,, that while it would have been quite possible and
004 4 — ,, perfectly in accordance with CI/SfB logic to split
005 5 — ,, the information carried on these (2–) plans
into (21) external walls, (22)—internal walls,
(23)—floors, (24)—stairs, (27)—roof and (28)—frame,
common sense and the straightforward nature of the
project suggested that a single (2–) grouping of
these elements would suffice.
G(2—)015— 020 1:50 General arrangement The key a sections described earlier.
sections—External walls They could equally well be coded (21) since they
deal specifically with the external walls, but in
either case their numbering commences at 15 to
preserve the integrity of the numbering system. Again,
‘Drawing G(2–) 015– 020 ’provides a unique
identification for each section.
