THE PRE-CONSTRUCTION STAGE:

Client req. & Site Investigation.
Building Plan.
Budget Estimation.
Documentation.
Client requirements & Site Investigation:

 Detailed analysis of the client’s requirements.

 Site investigation involves the analysis of site

constraints, accessibility, environmental factors,
etc.
Building Plan:

 Most crucial aspect of building construction.

 Helps you to anticipate the features and functions of
different parts of your construction process.
 Drawings encompass the architectural, civil, structural,
and mechanical professions, and they are the means of
conveying diagrammatic detailed aspects of the design
components of a structure.
 Architects, civil engineers, electricians, and plumbers play
an essential role in planning a successful building
construction project.
Different Types of Drawings:
 Floor Plans
 Ceiling Plans
 Elevations
 Mechanical and Electrical Drawings
 Demolition Plans: (used during Renovation Projects)
Budget Estimation:

 After planning is done, the details are given to a

building estimator to carry out a survey and
estimate the cost of materials, types of
machinery, and labor required to complete the
building project.

 The cost of materials will be determined by the

quantity and quality of fabric needed.
Documentation:

Documents required include,

1. Land survey report.
2. Land soil test report.
3. Architecture drawings.
4. Structural report.
5. certificate of undertaking by a civil
engineer.
 AutoCAD
 The Word AutoCAD is made up of two words “Auto(logo of company)”and CAD
“(computer aided design)”.
 AutoCAD is 2D and 3D modeling software, developed by Autodesk.

Advantages of AutoCAD:
 Quickly create designs.
 Improved quality over hand drafting.
 Easily modify.
 More Accuracy.
 Easy to transfer.
 Long time save.
