Architects, contractors and builders need good quality and complete plans and documentation to properly carry out their designs and building projects. It is difficult to secure a permit or even begin working on a project without these plans. Without knowing how to build the roof to specifications, it will be impossible for contractors to complete the roof on time. AS built documentation can keep contractors from encountering delays and potential hazards by providing them with a complete portfolio of roofing plans. Most documentation for buildings include, elevation & section, site plan, floor plan and reflected ceiling plan documentation. These are easy to get through the right company. However, creating accurate roof plans for a project are important too. Builders usually follow two collections of roofing plans and a checklist.
At the start, everyone needs a mechanical, electrical and plumbing (MEP) checklist before they begin building. Even the most professional builder might forget to install a vital part of the home structure without this checklist to follow. The MEP checklist usually contains the interior dimensions of the building, the location of its electrical systems, HVAC systems and plumbing systems, as well as, a list of emergency systems in the property.
Obviously, that roof can't be completed without the roof plan. These plans are what contractors rely on to make sure that roof has the right pitch, angle and appropriate architectural features. A thorough roof plan will include information about the current conditions of the home and site and any planned renovations. These plans do also need to provide information for building parapet walls, adding mechanical equipment and also the roof outline and penetrations.
The Above Ceiling Plan tells workers and architects where the mechanics of the house lay. These plans are vitally important to making sure that the house structure isn't compromised and that the ductwork is laid out properly. Laser scanning equipment works to ensure that the placement of home elements are accurate down to a few 100ths of an inch. Surveyors, and architects use laser devices to determine the placement of the interior and exterior walls, deck heights, columns, beams, joists, fire suppression systems, duct work, and even HVAC in the home ceiling.
The Roof Plans and Above Ceiling Plans are needed to safely complete a new roof or renovations to the roof. AS built drawings can also help create the most accurate and detailed plans possible for roofing contractors. Take the time to ask about a complete mechanical, electrical and plumbing (MEP) checklist before getting started too. The list can help prevent costly fixes later on.
