Construction Drawings and Details for Interiors serves as the essential reference for designers preparing interior construction documents, explaining how to do a new construction, remodeling, or installation project. In a highly visual format, the book covers drafting fundamentals and conventions; drawing types, plans, and schedules; and computer-aided design (CAD). With expanded coverage of the preparation and communication of construction documents in digital formats, drawing interior perspectives, and more, the text also serves as an invaluable study reference for the contract documents section of the NCIDQ exam. A new companion Web Site supplies template grids for schedules and contract documents for practice exercises.

Construction Drawings and Details for Interiors will serve as the essential reference for developing interiors construction documents. This Advanced Skills volume delves into more complex commercial projects, taking designers step by step through the preparation of working drawings, plans, schedules, and more. It will not only serve as a primary resource for practitioners, but also will be an invaluable study reference for the contract documents section of the NCIDQ exam, which establishes the standards for the professional practice of interior design.

This CD-ROM and workbook package provides an opportunity to understand individual construction documents' components and elements, their beginning in the design process, and their relationship to each other and to the project as a whole. Interior Construction Documents provides information integrating a variety of learning experiences and approaches to assist the student in internalizing information. The learning experiences include the illustrated text, audio text, animation and simulation sequence clips, annotated details, and drawing examples. As a result of the author's unique combination of professional education and experience coupled with a willingness to explore the educational possibilities offered through technology, students will gain an understanding of the philosophy, content, order, and relationship of construction documents as well as the development of each portion.

A true management time-saver, this volume covers all project management stages, from pre-design up to the point that construction begins. Following the standard American Institute of Architects (AIA) project format and three-hole punched for portability, it supplies checklist for site analysis, schematic design, design development, and covers all phases of prebidding, bidding, and negociations, as well as contracts and post-construction administration.

This book provides readers with detailed coverage of the documents generated during the building construction process. Introducing readers to the major participants and their responsibilities to the documents commonly produced during the design and construction of a building, the First Edition focuses on the origin and format—which documents are used and why, how documents are used in the real world, and how they work together as a system, which ties the whole process together. For professionals with a career or interest in residential construction, construction law, commercial construction, construction claims, and/or construction management.

A guide for leveraging SketchUp for any project size, type, or style. New construction or renovation. The revised and updated second edition of The SketchUp Workflow for Architecture offers guidelines for taking SketchUp to the next level in order to incorporate it into every phase of the architectural design process. The text walks through each step of the SketchUp process from the early stages of schematic design and model organization for both renovation and new construction projects to final documentation and shows how to maximize the LayOut toolset for drafting and presentations. Written by a noted expert in the field, the text is filled with tips and techniques to access the power of SketchUp and its related suite of tools. The book presents a flexible workflow method that helps to make common design tasks easier and gives users the information needed to incorporate varying degrees of SketchUp into their design process. Filled with best practices for organizing projects and drafting schematics, this resource also includes suggestions for working with LayOut, an underused but valuable component of SketchUp Pro. In addition, tutorial videos compliment the text and clearly demonstrate more advanced methods. This important text: Presents intermediate and advanced techniques for architects who want to use SketchUp in all stages of the design process Includes in-depth explanations on using the LayOut tool set that contains example plans, details, sections, presentations, and other information Updates the first edition to reflect the changes to SketchUp 2018 and the core functionalities, menus, tools, inferences, arc tools, reporting, and much more Written by a SketchUp authorized trainer who has an active online platform and extensive connections within the SketchUp community Contains accompanying tutorial videos that demonstrate some of the more advanced SketchUp tips and tricks Written for professional architects, as well as professionals in interior design and landscape architecture, The SketchUp Workflow for Architecture offers a revised and updated resource for using SketchUp in all aspects of the architectural design process.
