Product Description
Product Description
Cut the cost and risk of creating crucial construction documents. Errors and omissions in working drawings are the primary causes of building failures, construction cost overruns, extra charges by contractors, and lawsuits. Fred Stitt, a pioneering developer of quality control systems for architects, engineers, and contractors, offers you a comprehensive, up-to-date set of checklists to ensure the accuracy and completeness of these drawings, whatever the building project may be.The portable, easy-to-use "Working Drawing Manual" includes a system for total working drawing planning and management, plus coordination checklists for: residential, commercial, and institutional projects of all sizes; remodeling and renovation drawings; architectural coordination with landscape, HVAC, plumbing, electrical, civil, structural, and related engineering drawings. Designed to be used with Pat Guthrie's "Cross-Check", which can help ensure the continuity and integration of working drawings, the Manual covers all new construction technologies, code requirements, types of bid documentation, and methods of drawing organization, including CADD. Enhanced by a self-study module that assists users in gaining AIA CEU accredidatiion, "Working Drawing Manual" pays for itself over and over again by helping you avoid expensive, time-consuming problems.
Book Description
Working Drawing Manual is expressly designed to work hand in hand with Pat Guthrie's Cross-Check. Working Drawings are the most time- consuming aspect of the design process, up to 50% of the time and money spent on any project. Moreover, a recent study shows that the average drawing contains 4 to 6 significant errors. Checklists developed by Fred Stitt have been demonstrated to save up to 40% of production time and cost, resulting in fewer changes, delays, and jobsite problems. They are now revised, expaned, and collected here for the first time. Guthrie himself is an enthusiastic supporter of this project's utility with his own book: the architect will first consult Stitt's checklists for working-drawing completeness: the next step is to consult Cross-Check to make sure that the content matches on all the drawings--working-drawing continuity and integration.
