Scope and Dwellings in Australia

Its part of what makes construction happen - Scope for dwellings 

• construction of new buildings
• alterations and additions to existing buildings
• non-structural renovation and refurbishment
• installation of integral building fixtures
• full demolitions of existing dwellings

How to Read Construction Drawings?

It’s not as difficult as you may perceive, honestly.  Start with the KISS strategy (Keep It Simple, Stupid!)

Your Steps to Success

Reading construction drawings involves understanding the dimensions and specifications provided in the plans. Key components include:

• Scale: The ratio of the drawn size to the actual size.
• Datum Points: Reference points for measurements.
• Gridlines: Help in dividing the plan into manageable parts.
• Sectional Views: Detailed slices through the structure.
• Annotated Dimensions: Written numerics indicating precise size requirements.

So, essentially, you’re going to need a ruler.
