Before The Architect – BUILDER DRAWINGS

CROSS-SECTIONS

· · · · · · ·

Cross-sections, or, simply, sections, are Builder Drawings which depict the sliced-open picture of things to-be-built.  Sections are useful to make sure building layers are in the right order or, as is the case below, all the parts of a structure are arranged properly inside the surface of an elevation or a plan view.

Footing & Pier.  The Garrison Colonial's footings and piers are foundations for building construction to be structured in a certain manner, according to the engineer who certified the durability of the planned-on build out's foundation.  (Interestingly, this project really did not need a structural engineer, except that the local building authority said that it needed a structural engineer.

Coffer Ceiling.  The basement remodeling offers something in the drawing business that's neither fish nor fowl.  It's both.  It's both a Cross-Section Drawing of sorts and it's a Detail Drawing of sorts.  It does both jobs and keeps on giving.
