A blueprint is a type of paper-based reproduction usually of technical
drawing, documenting done by architecture or an engineering design. Gen-
erally, the term "blueprint" refers to any detailed plan of a building.
A working drawing is a type of technical drawing, which is part of the doc-
umentation needed to build an engineering product or architectural plan.
Building plans and Specifications form part of the working drawings
needed in any construction project.

corner D.
20. Through corner D, stretch line 4 to the ___________ corner B on line1. Check the
squareness of these two lines.
Through the four sides of the building are completely laid out there is a need to
check squareness by the use of the diagonal.

3. 4. Tie a cord to this line to indicate the original corner A.
Align this cord to the corner stake with a plumb bob.
5. Measure the length of the side that falls on line 1, start-
ing from the original corner, and tie another cord to
mark this corner B.
6. Sketch line No. 2 square or perpendicular to line 1,
passing through the cord tied at the original corner A.
Tie line 2 to nails on the batter boards.
7. From the intersection of lines 1 and 2 at the original
corner A. Measure the length of the side of the building
that falls on string 2. Tie another cord to mark this cor-
ner C.
8. Through this corner just mark, stretch string 3 square
to string 2.
9. Measure the length of the side that falls on line 3, and
tie a cord to mark corner D.
10.Through corner D, stretch line 4 to the adjacent corner
B on line 1. Check the squareness of these two lines.
Note: Through the four sides of the building are com-
pletely laid out there is a need to check squareness by
the use of the Framing square or diagonal.
2. Floor Plan is a drawing showing the
layout of a building taken at a level plan
through windows and doors approximately
one meter up from the floor. It shows the
following:
-in furniture
cal order
nal lines to represent hips and valleys.
3. Elevation is a scaled drawing
of the front, rear or side of a
building. It includes dimensions
that cannot be shown on a floor
plan such as the height dimen-
sion.
4. Details Most working draw-
ings are drawn to the scale of
1:100, which is rather small. It is
not always possible to show im-
portant shapes, positions for
assembly, and dimensions of
specific parts of a building. A
separate drawing is made using
the larger scales of 1:5 or 1:10.

5. Specification is a written doc-
ument prepared by an architect
which serves as a set of instruc-
tion or guidelines that accompa-
nies a working drawing. It describes how certain aspects of building construction are to
be done and which materials are to be used. It also describes their desired quality and
the expected standard of work.
Knowing how to read and interpret a working drawing saves time, money and effort in
the construction of the building.
ASSESSMENT CRITERIA:
1. Stake-out building lines are properly secured for references in excavating
building foundation.
2. Marking lines are squared and plumbed from the batter board lines with
tolerance of + 3mm all measurement.
3. Worksite is cleaned and kept in safe state according to OSHC regulations.
4. Daily work report is accomplished in accordance with company rules and
regulations.

4. Good carpentry work demands accuracy in measurement. This could be done only with
the aid of various testing tools to accomplish a precise and quality work.
It is important to know the various testing tools and how to use them properly. They
may cause accidents if proper care and use are not observed. Using proper tools in the
proper job can prolong their use.
Types of Testing Tools and Their Uses
1. Square is a 90o standard right angle sometimes called try square
used for testing squareness of work.
Types of Squares:
A. Try square is a square with blade ranging from 6 inches to 12 inches.
B. Miter square is a square with blade permanently set at 45o.
C. Combination try and miter square is a combination of 45o and 90o in
one set.
D. Combination square is similar in appearance to try square only that the
head can be slide and clamped at any desired distance from the blade. It is
also provided with a meter and level guide.
E. Sliding T-bevel is like a try square with sliding and adjustable blade
that could be set any angle.
F. Framing or steel square is used effectively on various framing works.
Parts of Framing Square:
A. Body is the longer and wider part
B. Tongue is the shorter and narrower part of the square
C. Face is the side visible when the square is held by the tongue with the
left hand and the body pointing to the right.
D. Heel is the point at which the tongue and body meet on the outside
edge.
3. Plastic hose with water is one of the best and accurate tools for guiding work in estab-
lishing a horizontal level.
4. Plumb bob is a cone-shaped metal suspended on a string used to check or obtain a
vertical line.

TYPES, FUNCTIONS AND USES OF TESTING TOOLS
BLUEPRINT READING
Direction: Match column A with column B. Write your an-
swers in your notebook.
TYPES, FUNCTIONS AND USES OF TESTING TOOLS
Building lines pertain to lines representing the side of the building passing
through the center of the foundation posts. The final laying-out is done on the
batter board. Before the builder can start the layout, he has to decide which
among the building lines he is going to use.
Procedure in Laying out the Foundation Lines:
1. Transfer the oriented line to the top of the batter boards. This is done by
hanging a plumb bob to the oriented line, and by making the corresponding
point on the batter board.
2. Locate the center of the foundation from the orientation line at the opposite
batteboards. Then mark these two points with nails or a saw kerf.
3. Stretch string No. 1 on these two marks. Anchor it to the batter boards. This
line should never be moved during the process of squaring lines.
