The construction industry in the UK consists of four different sectors. The
residential sector deals with houses and apartments. The industrial sector
deals with big projects like factories and power plants. The infrastructure
sector is for projects like roads, bridges and tunnels. The commercial sector is
for things like schools, hospitals and office blocks. The client pays for the
project and hires general contractors to deal with subcontractors, equipment
and materials.

Unit 1 The construction industry 9 Dương Minh Châu Chaudmce@gmail.com KHOA XÂY DỰNG 2.1.1 Look at three representations of a house. Name the types of drawing. Then read the text and check your answers. 1________________ 2_________________ 3_________________ Unit 2 Technical drawing 10 Dương Minh Châu Chaudmce@gmail.com KHOA XÂY DỰNG There are many ways of putting a 3D object into 2D. Orthographic projections can be found on all construction projects. These drawings show different views of the object, and can include elevations (a view from one side) and cross-sections (the view when you cut through an object). Another type of drawing shows exploded views, which are very useful for understanding the assembly of an object, in other words how it all fits together. A third type of drawing is the plan view, which allows us to see an object from above. A typical example of this is a floor plan. These are very useful when we want to look at the fittings in detail, in other words where objects like cookers and baths go. Unit 2 Technical drawing 11 Dương Minh Châu Chaudmce@gmail.com KHOA XÂY DỰNG 1.2.3 Prints Read the email from an architect to a contractor. Then, choose the correct answers I wanted to update you on my progress on the prints for the Gibson building. I completed the orthographic projection of the building's exterior. This includes a plan view of the roof and elevations of all sides. I also completed section views of several interior walls. This will let you easily see where plumbing and other fixtures should be installed. The prints of the building’s interior sections are not yet finished. I have completed isometric drawings of several rooms. These prints produce three dimensional images because lines are drawn at thirty degree angles instead of horizontally. Unfortunately I am having trouble drawing some of the irregular wall features, such as moldings. The best way to show these is in oblique drawings. They have the most complex surface flat against the paper. This is a time-consuming process, but I am working as quickly as I can. For additional detail, I am also including some cross sections of these surfaces. For your reference, these will be vertically oriented. I attached a rough sketch of the building layout. Please look it over and let me know if you have any questions or concerns. Thanks!

Unit 2 Technical drawing 17 Dương Minh Châu Chaudmce@gmail.com KHOA XÂY DỰNG 2.2.1 Read the textbook entry on construction drawings. Then, choose the correct answers Every construction worker must know how to read a scale drawing. These illustrations show the layout for a construction project in an accurate scale. Construction drawings are made using an architect’s scale, which often has two scales on one face. You may not be required to use this instrument. However, you should recognize the multiple types of lines that drafters make on drawings. The most basic line is the object lined. It is a heavy, solid line that shows the shape of an object. If the side of an object would not normally be seen, a dashed line called a hidden line, represents it. Extension lines and dimension lines are thin, solid lines. They show the size of an object, such as it’s length or width. A short extension line extends out from each side of the object. A dimension line connects the two extension lines, with the measurement written above it. Unit 2 Technical drawing 18 Dương Minh Châu Chaudmce@gmail.com KHOA XÂY DỰNG You will see a few other lines on drawings. A centerline with long and short dashes shows the center axis of an object. A thin line with an arrow called a leader labels objects and dimensions in tight spaces. A cutting-plane line shows where an imaginary cut was made to obtain a section-view drawing. 1. What should every construction worker be able to do? A. make scale drawings B. use an architect’s scale C. identify drafting line mistakes D. recognize different kind of drafting lines 2. What does a hidden line show? A. the shape of an object B. the size of an object C. the middle point of objects D. the unseen side of an object 3. Which of the following is NOT a solid line? A. extension line C. object line B. centerline D. dimension line Unit 2 Technical drawing 19 Dương Minh Châu Chaudmce@gmail.com KHOA XÂY DỰNG Match the words (1-5) with the definitions (A-E). 1. dimension line; 2. object line; 3. cutting-plane line; 4. hidden line; 5. leader Unit 2 Technical drawing A. a line in a drawing that indicates where a section view is taken from and in what direction it is viewed B. a line in a drawing that connects an object with its label C. a line in a drawing that shows edges that are hidden from normal view D. a line in a drawing that shows the size, such as length or width, of an object E. a solid line in a drawing that shows the shape of an object 20 Dương Minh Châu Chaudmce@gmail.com KHOA XÂY DỰNG 2.2.3 Fill in the blanks with the correct words and phrases scale; extension line; centerline; architect’s scale; scale drawing 1.

It doesn't have to divide the object in half. Instructor: That's right. You can also tell them apart by how they look. Student: A cutting-plane line is usually solid, right? Instructor: It can be either solid or dashed. And a centerline has long and short dashes. Unit 2 Technical drawing 22 Dương Minh Châu Chaudmce@gmail.com KHOA XÂY DỰNG 2.3.1 Read the government website about building permits. What is a floor plan? A floor plan is a detailed diagram of your proposed building layout. It describes the type of building as well as all major features. It is typically shown from a bird’s-eye view. Every building project must submit a floor plan. What must be included in a floor plan? Every floor plan must specify the dimensions of the building and all interior rooms. The function of room should be labeled. The placement of all fixture such as for plumbing and lighting, must be marked. Spaces for large appliances such as refrigerators typically labeled as well. However, these labels are not required. Last, indicate nearby streets and utility access. When do I submit a floor plan? Submit a copy of your floor plan when your architect finalizes the design. The floor plan must be approved before you can begin excavation. Unit 2 Technical drawing 23 Dương Minh Châu Chaudmce@gmail.com KHOA XÂY DỰNG 2.3.1 Choose the correct answers 1.

Then, mark the statements as true (T) or false (F). Charles. You asked why the order was so expensive. We need about two and a half bags of concrete for each structure. I rounded up to three bags per structure. There are ten structures. When you multiply that, it equals thirty bags. That part of the order was $150. The cost of concrete plus the cost of rebar came to over $600. When you add shipping costs, it totals $650. I can subtract a few items to save money. The total minus the cost of rebar is around $175. Or, we can make several payments. The bill divided by three payments is about $215. We could pay the remainder with the last payment Let me know what you prefer. Barbara.
