Construction Documents: Components, Specifications, and Analysis

This report provides an overview of construction documents, outlining the components of both the project manual and construction drawings. The project manual includes bid advertisements, instructions to bidders, bid forms, general conditions, special conditions, and technical specifications. Construction drawings encompass site plans, utility plans, floor plans, building sections, wall details, exterior elevations, and engineering drawings for structural and electrical systems. The report emphasizes the importance of each component in the construction process, from the bidding phase to the execution of the project, highlighting the roles of different parties involved and the technical information conveyed through these documents. This assignment is available on Desklib for students seeking to understand the complexities of construction documentation.

Components contain in construction document
The traditional construction document consists of two main physical components which are :
1. Project manual
2. Drawings
The following parts are contained in the project manual
 Bid advertisements or invitation: This document contains all information about
the project at the biding period. And its normally appear at the foremost of
project manual. It contains information such the name of the project, number
and location of the project
 Instruction to Bidders: This is the term used to bidders, they are defined in
the Standard general condition of the construction contract
 Bid Forms: These include drawings, timelines, specifications, charts and price
breakdown
 The General condition of the contract: This is the portion which set the
responsibilities of each party, it also shows the relationship between the clients
and the contractor
 Special conditions: This is conditions which are only applicable to a certain
portion of the job. It is normally an extension of a contract
 Other information relating to bidders(such as soil report); This information
enables the bidders to understand the general outlook of the project fully
 Technical specifications(Divisions2-16).This portion listed all the Technical data
and requirement.information on this part should specify all materials and technique
to be used
construction drawings
All contracts contain a particular set of drawing that applies to the project being carried out. The
drawing might include the actual blueprint of the project, or it can be a simple graphic
representation of the actual project and the character of work that will be done by the contractor.
The following components are contained in construction drawings, especially for a building
 The general notes and abbreviations
 The site plans
 The utility plans
 The floor plans
 The sections of a building
 The parts of a wall
 The elevation of the exterior
 All the details of construction work
 The drawings models of structural engineering

 The drawings models of electrical engineering
