PREFACE

Thls drawing checklist is the

flfth

checklists, complementing Building Practice Mote 29, Architectural Drawings,

Note 3 9 , S t r u c t u r a l Drawings, Note 40, Mechanical Drawings and Mote

41,

Electrical Drawings. It provides landscape architects w i t h a convenient tool for the final review of drawings prepared under thefr supervision.

Since this list is a general

one,

It

s i t u a t i o n s which can occur In practice; nevertheless I t ~ h o l l f d prove helpful as a b a s i c guide. Users o f t h i s

Research, Matianal Research Council of Canada).

P a r t I of this checklist serves as a reminder of various items t o the person checking

the

example, cannot be over-emphasized, particularly in plans drawn at 1 : l O D

scale.

Part

XI presents,

Ln a traditional s e t of warking drawings for landscape archirer ture. These

tables can be photocopied and attached t a the appropriate drawings during

the checking stage. Free space is provfded on the sheets for additional

items. Using the t a b l e s

The landscape architect m s t c r i t i c a l l y review h i s o m work before

releasing it t o a contractor for executian. It is h i s prof essioaal

responsibKLlty, an obligatfon to h i e client and the key to a good business

The dfmensionrlng method should be consistent,-meticulous

and

accordance w i t h the Natlonal Standards of Canada CAN 3-!E 78.3+77 Building

Drawings.

1.1 Linear dimensions should be expressed in millimetres

(mm) on.building

requirements are met:

a) a note tndicating t h e unit used is displayed in a conspimous place

on the drawing sheet;

b ) all linear dlmerislons, lncludlng those f o r s p o t levels and land

elevation contours, are g i v e n In one dfmensioning unit only.

Far easier reading, group the d i g i t s in triads on bath s i d e s of the decimal market (e.g., 1 2 3 . 4 5 6 7 8 9 ) . A l l dlmenslons shown in metres must be taken to

three d e c i m a l places, even when all decimals are zeros (egg., 1.235, 1.000).

1.2 Area dlmensLons should k expressed In:

a) hectares (ha) fur areas on survey plans, plans of subdivisions and

lot plans to three dec-iraals ( e - g . , 1.234 ha).

b) square metres (m2) far f laor areas of rooms, cross-sectton areas of earthworks and large glass panes, to two decimals (egg., 1.23 m2).

c ) square millimetres (mm2) f o r structural and other section areas (bars, poles, etc.), using no decimals.

Symbols of these u n i t s MUST

ALWAYS BE

a) cuhlc metres

(m3)

fluids In large quantltles;

b) l l t r e s (L) for volumes pertalnlng ta containers of f l u i d s or gases

only.
