Agree what the drawings need to communicate
A useful drawing set makes the proposed systems, equipment locations and relevant details legible to the people who will use it. The required level of detail depends on whether the drawings support design development, an approval submission or installation.
- System layouts and relevant equipment information
- Coordination with the available architectural plans
- Identified revisions and agreed drawing deliverables
Start with the best available source files
Share the latest plans, design mark-ups and any existing fire services drawings. Tell us which files are editable, which are reference copies and whether a site change has made any part of the documentation uncertain.
Confirm formats and responsibilities early
Discuss CAD requirements, drawing formats and revision scope before work begins. Drafting records design information; technical design decisions and any required professional sign-off remain part of the agreed project responsibilities.
