What are construction drawings?
Construction drawings are the technical documents that define how a building or structure is built: dimensions, materials, systems and assembly details that contractors build from.
A complete set communicates design intent to everyone on site. Drawings evolve from early design through tender and approval to the final as-built record, and they must stay coordinated as the project changes.

Types of construction documents

Construction documents are the wider record set that supports the drawings: specifications, schedules, RFIs, submittals and change orders.
Drawings show what to build; documents capture the supporting detail, decisions and changes. Keeping both connected and version-controlled is where most project risk lives, and where a single, consistent CAD environment pays off.

El software CAD que se adapta a sus necesidades de diseño
BricsCAD permite a los expertos crear representaciones de diseño más precisas. El CAD reemplazó el dibujo de diseño manual, lo que permitió un mejor desarrollo, modificación y optimización. BricsCAD permite a los ingenieros crear diseños más detallados y manipularlos virtualmente. El software CAD calcula cómo se relacionan varios materiales.
BricsCAD ha diseñado el último conjunto de herramientas para satisfacer sus necesidades de diseño. Desde las primeras etapas del dibujo en 2D hasta los modelos 3D finalizados que se utilizan para la fabricación o la construcción, nuestro sólido conjunto de productos facilita la creación de un flujo de trabajo optimizado.
Octave BricsCAD for construction design and engineering
Octave BricsCAD BIM gives construction teams the tools to produce tender, approval, construction and as-built documentation in the DWG workflow they already know.
DWG-native construction workflow
Open and edit construction drawings directly, with no conversion or exporting from another tool required. The high-performance tool-set is built on the Octave BricsCAD DWG engine, so 3D designs become production-ready deliverables in a single tool.
Certified IFC interoperability
Unified 2D, 3D and BIM
AI-assisted modeling and classification
Ecosystem integrations

The complete construction set
Every project builds from the same core deliverables. Here’s what each drawing and document covers.
Deliverable | Type | What it covers |
|---|---|---|
Site plans | Drawing | The building’s position, access, levels and external works |
Floor plans | Drawing | The layout of each level, with walls, openings and dimensions |
Elevations | Drawing | External views of each facade |
Sections | Drawing | Vertical cuts showing heights, build-ups and relationships between levels |
Detail and shop drawings | Drawing | Large-scale junction views and fabrication-level drawings from trades |
As-built drawings | Drawing | The record of what was actually constructed |
Specifications | Document | Materials, workmanship and performance requirements |
Schedules | Document | Doors, windows, finishes and other repeating elements |
RFIs and submittals | Document | Questions and approvals exchanged during construction |
Change orders | Document | Documented revisions to scope, cost or design |
