ARCH STAIR PLAN DETAILS AND DRAWING STUDY
Stair or fire stair drawings are used to find the stair landing RL, landing slab set-out (X-axis distance), fire penetrations and stair pressurization riser details. (Refer Fig .01 & 02) This drawing package are provided by architect separately in arch consultant drawings. The main things for this drawing are to take the value of stair…

ARCH ELEVATION DETAILS AND DRAWING STUDY
For Architecture elevation, mainly we used for door/window openings height and its location details. (If any other service drawings available means we have to consider that too). This elevation helps to take the FFL/SSL value of each level. It’s showing also the RL of parapet and roof level walls. For patterns, grooves and other elevation…

TABLE PRECAST FINISHES
Table precast finishes is the replication process. The surface of the manufacturing table affecting the precast surface. Sometimes the table is covered by form liners, bricks, signage letters & pattern to make the finishes. a) Normal table finish: Non-exposed surface of the precast is made by this type of table. Same table is used for…
