Structural Drawings

Column Layout

Column layout reinforces the design and pattern of the columns of the whole structure. This plan is divided floor-wise and demarcates the exact size and distance between every column of the building.

Column layout drawings further make it easier for the contractors to make sense of the whole building layout.

Foundation/ Footing Plan

Foundation plans are not necessarily basement plans or ground floor plans. A foundation plan can be made for any floor of a building.

The purpose of making these plans is to convey the dimensions, sizes, shapes, and every single configuration of a floor. Footings are also an essential part of a foundation plan.

Plinth Beam Layout

Plinth beams are yet another form of beam structure that reinforces the support system of a building.

The plinth beam layout drawings showcase the position, length, and sectional design of the plinth beams. Here too, the plinth beams drawings are also made floor-wise.

Lintel Beam Layout

Lintel beams are yet another form of support structure that are made above the doors and windows.

These are reinforced structures that are made to provide strength to the part of the building that is made above the windows and doors.

In these kinds of drawings, you will find the correct positions, dimensions, and the number of lintel beams on every floor.

Roof Beam and Shuttering Layout

A roof beam is made to strengthen the building’s overall structure. A roof beam is a triangular structure that is usually made on the top of the building and supports the roof. Roof beams are usually made out of wood, but it can also be made from steel or concrete.

Roof Slab Layout

The roof slab layout is more prominently made in the AutoCAD architectural software.

The main purpose of the roof slabs is to provide a detailed account of the floors, roof faces, and other such surfaces that require precise edge information.
