CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS

Construction documents are the complete drawing sets and specifications that contractors build from and building departments approve. When your design is finalized, CDs translate that vision into the detailed technical documentation required for permits, bidding, and construction.

What's Included

• Site plans — building placement, parking, utilities, accessible routes

• Floor plans — dimensioned layouts, door/window schedules, room labels

• Exterior elevations — all facades with material callouts and height dimensions

• Building sections — vertical relationships, wall assemblies, floor-to-ceiling heights

• Construction details — enlarged drawings of critical assemblies

• Schedules — doors, windows, finishes, and equipment

• Code compliance — ADA accessibility, fire safety, energy code documentation

When You Need Construction Documents

• Ready to pull building permits

• Seeking accurate contractor bids on a defined scope

• Converting building use (residential to commercial, retail to restaurant)

• Planning additions, renovations, or new construction

Residential vs. Commercial

Residential CDs cover site plans, floor plans, foundation plans, exterior elevations, and energy compliance. Commercial CDs add reflected ceiling plans, life safety and egress plans, ADA compliance documentation, and multi-trade coordination for MEP systems.
