Building Elevation Drawings

As-built building elevation drawings are typically a 2D orthographic projection drawing of a building face. For information on 3D as-builts, please visit: 3D Laser Scanning.

The level of detail contained in a building elevation drawing would vary from project to project. The scope of every project is different, so one project may call for a high level of detail, while another project may not.

More Definitions

"Facade" is another term for "building face" or "building elevation".

"Diagrammatic" is another term for "semi-scale" or "proportional". The focus of diagrammatic building elevation drawings is the relationship of the parts, with respect to the whole.

The Procedure

The procedure to create as-built building elevation drawings is a two-step process that consists of field work first, and CAD work second. The field equipment used will vary depending on the level of detail required.
