This Code is about the drawings which appear on every
building site and contain the drawn information for
construction. Throughout the Code they are referred to as the
production drawings or collectively as the production
set.
The Code is for use by all members of the design team
who have the task of preparing and issuing production
drawings. It is directed at helping them manage this task so
that they can provide the necessary information in an
effective and economic manner. The Code is complementary to BS
1192: Construction drawing practice. [Richard - this BS has
since been withdrawn].
Experience shows that poor production drawings have too
often been the cause of low quality finished product, poor
cost control and failure to meet completion dates. Well
organised, complete and co-ordinated production drawings are a
prerequisite for the proper management of
construction. |
