This document provides an introduction to the construction industry and civil engineering drawings. It begins with defining civil engineering and structural engineering, and the scope of work in the construction industry. It then discusses the roles and responsibilities of civil engineers before, during, and after construction. It provides examples of structural drawings like foundation, reinforcement, and record drawings. It explains the different stages of drawings from tender to working to completion drawings. Finally, it thanks the reader and provides references.

TUTORS:
9. Before Construction 9
survey reports, maps, drawings, blueprints,
aerial photography and other topographical
or geologic data.
Analyze data such as
Plan and design transportation, hydraulic
systems and structures using software and
drawings.
10. Before Construction 10
Compute load and grade requirements,
water flow rates and material stress factors to
determine design specifications.
Follow construction and government
standards. To ensure
that its safe
Establish Communication with clients
and other involved in the project.
12. During Construction 12
Involve in surveying to establish reference
points, grades, and elevations to guide
construction.
Direct construction, operations, and
maintenance activities at project site.
13. During Construction 13
Maintain effective communication
among authorities and everyone involve
in the construction.
Inspect project sites to monitor progress to
ensure everything is up to standard.
15. After Construction 15
Prepare all necessary
documents as well as make a
completion drawing
List out all defects to be improved/fixed
during defect liability period
Keep maintenance of the
structural aspect of the building.
17. Structural drawing
This drawing is the preparation
for the reinforcement drawing.
Enabling the construction of that structure
on site.
Used to progress the Architect’s concept by
specifying the shape and position of all parts
of the structure
27. Tender Drawing 27
Prepared early in the building process and is used
for developing bids.
The tender drawings prepared by the civil engineer are used
as a reference by the contractor and sometime for them to
calculate the quantity of concrete, reinforcement etc.
One of the content from the tender documents.
Other contents would be the bill of quantities and
specifications.
28. Tender Drawing 28
The tender drawings prepared by the engineer
usually comprise of structural drawings.
Example of structural drawings are:
THE FOUNDATION PILING OR
FOOTING OF THE BUILDINGS,
COLUMNS, BEAMS AND SLABS.
29. 29
This tender drawing is design by architect and the structural input by the civil
engineer from the architect’s concept.
32. Contact Drawing 32
After the bidding process the tender drawings will
be used as the contract drawings.
For some projects , if tendering has been straightforward
without any changes, the contract drawings will be used the
same as tender drawings again.
The quantity surveyor will bind all the contract
drawings prepared by the architect and engineer,
the priced bills of quantities and the specifications
to form a legally binding contract documents.
35. Working Drawing
35
Generally more detailed than tender and contract
drawings.
For simple projects, the working drawings may not
differ from tender or contract drawings.
For very large projects, working drawings need to
be much more detailed than previous drawings.
40. Contact Drawing 40
Final set of drawings made in a
building project and their purpose is
to record the project as it was built.
Unplanned changes are likely to
have been made that diverge from
the working drawings.
These alterations may be due to unforeseen
site conditions or budgetary concerns.
Even the smallest variations are
recorded in completion drawings.
