Architectural Elevation Design Drawings are more than just Pretty Facades

Covering all sides, all features, all the minutiae of an exterior is critical to elevation drawings.

Whether the structure has yet to be built or you are preparing to renovate, builders and local planning departments need to know what the world will see when they drive by the business or home.The elevation drawing must include four views, one for each side of the structure, regardless of shape.

The drawings demand a good deal more than just these few things, and these few things are quite a bit already.

Properly executed, architectural elevation drawings can accelerate the approval process with planning departments, which is always good news for the owner and the builder alike.

Including dimensions of components from roof to exposed foundation, accuracy is paramount and a competent draftsman with an eye for precision is a great person to have working on this.

The plans also give a builder an easy, at-a-glance reference of materials and assist in estimates of construction costs and a projects time to completion.
