Working drawing set complete

By the Kolo house construction team · Updated

Why — act while you have leverage

Structural drawings plus the full working set, checked against the drawing completeness list. A quote priced on incomplete drawings is a quote priced on assumptions - and assumptions are billed later as extras.

What — examine the details

What to look at

  • All four categories present, not just architectural
  • Electrical point counts and a plumbing stack diagram, which are the two most commonly missing

Documents to ask for

  • Structural drawings
  • Full working drawing set
How

How to check it yourself

A complete residential set spans architectural — dimensioned plans, sections, elevations, door-window and finishes schedules; structural — foundation layout, column, beam and slab details, reinforcement schedules; MEP — electrical with point counts, plumbing and drainage with a stack diagram, any HVAC; and detail drawings — staircase, toilets, kitchen, joinery, waterproofing.
