A1.04 – Wall, Floor & Roof Assemblies (Wood or Masonry)

Instructions:

• Two preset sheets currently exist in the library:

  1. A1.04 - Construction Assemblies (Wood)

  2. A1.04 - Construction Assemblies (Masonry)

• These can be found in the following folder: T:\1.Interim\Library.Detail.24.rvt

Inserting a Detail Not Already in the Project:

• Go to the Insert tab in the top ribbon in Revit.

• Click Insert from File → Insert Views from File.

• Select the project file containing the construction assemblies: T:\1.Interim\Library.Detail.24.rvt

• Locate and insert the required detail(s) into your project.

• Once imported, replace the titleblock with the one currently used in your project. This sheet now contains the most commonly used construction assemblies in our projects — designed to streamline coordination and minimize consultant errors. It is intended to be used as-is with no manual modification.

Assembly Sheets Contain:

• Wall Types: Includes both fire-rated and non-rated exterior and interior wood-framed walls with their corresponding UL assemblies, finish layers, and construction notes.

• Floor/Ceiling Assemblies & Roof Systems: Typical conditions shown for separation between units, breezeways, and attic/roof transitions.

• 1. Indexed Layout: Assemblies are organized from bottom-right to top-left (or top-right to bottom-left), typically starting with walls, followed by floor systems, and ending with roof assemblies.

  2. Confirm wall types in your model with your Project Manager or Studio Director.

  3. Construction assemblies are grouped by category (wall, roof, floor/ceiling, etc.) and arranged in numerical order. If additional assemblies need to be added, continue this arrangement to maintain organization and consistency. 

Important Rules:

• Do not alter any details directly in the project. Pre-built assembly sheets reduce production time, eliminate coordination errors, and ensure consistent detailing across all projects. Assemblies are based on FBC compliance, manufacturer data, and internal QA/QC standards.

• If a detail needs to be modified:

  1. It must first be reviewed by Mario and Neyda.

  2. After their review, it must be approved by Andrew.

  3. Once approved, the updated detail must be added to the library to ensure the master version stays current. 

Construction Assembly Notes

All parts of the Detail Library were constructed to be consistent. The details and notes for sheets were made as consistent groups. It is claimed that this does not allow for the easy coping or movement to other sheets. This is not true as groups can be in multiple places on multiple sheets and maintain updates. The premise may be that the existing workflow is not well conceived and should be reviewed. However the governing body of Forum is asking that only the Construction Assembly Notes break away from the consistent approach and move to have this singular content be a family as of 09.18.24
