The final design describes in every detail the structural frame, including the dimensioning of all elements and provides all technical information regarding its realization.

The title block is a very important element because it is the first page of a folded drawing therefore, it must provide, at a glance, all the necessary information concerning the drawing.

The carpenter’s drawings show the geometry of the structural frame. Since they are closely related not only to the architectural but also to the structural design of the building, they are the outcome of the cooperation between the architect and the structural engineer.
The final design of the formwork includes accurate layouts and sections drawings and, if necessary, 3D drawings / figures. These drawings also include the necessary quantities of materials and labor.
The excavation drawings should be brought to the attention of the formwork’s assembling crew because any possible mistake in the excavations will have an impact on the formworks.

The drawing of the basement slab formwork includes the formwork plan as well as a characteristic section, both in 1:50 scale. Moreover, it shows the details of the two staircases in 1:20 scale and the details of the perimeter shear walls waterproofing in scale 1:10..

The formwork drawing of the ground floor slab includes the formwork plan and a characteristic section, both in 1:50 scale. The dashed line in the elevation is the cross section of the mezzanine that is going to be constructed in a subsequent phase.

The formwork of the mezzanine’s slab includes the formwork plan of the ground floor and a characteristic section, in 1:50 scale.
