DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION DRAWINGS

Developing construction drawings often requires a team effort. Depending on the scope of a given project, the efforts of many professional disciplines may need to be involved, including architectural, structural, mechanical, electrical, acoustical and technical specialists. Epps Corp takes the lead role in developing the design, communicating and coordinating design requirements, and producing all required drawings.

Managing the drawing process requires attention to detail throughout each step of the project. Starting with “base” drawings, Epps Corp provides the team members with an accurate CADD file which has been thoroughly developed during concept stages to represent the best possible solution to the client’s needs.

The design stages include:

AF – as found drawings
CD – concept drawings
WD – working drawings
TD – tender drawings
IP – issued for permit
IC – issued for construction
IF – issued for fabrication
AB – as-built drawings

Communicating the functional objectives and budget limits is crucial for preparing successful construction drawings. Our emphasis is on technical accuracy and comprehensiveness. The drawings and related specifications are the principle method of communicating the design to the contractors. If the drawings are done well, the implementation can be carried out without changes.

The final result is fewer delays, reduced costs, and less frustration throughout the project. Ultimately, our goal is an accurate, dependable outcome, that comes in on budget.
