FOUNDATION PLAN ‘The purpose of the FOUNDATION PLAN is to show the structurat supports of the proposed structure at the ground level, and/or basement level if a basement is incorporated in the building plan. The FOUNDATION PLAN follows the outline and layout of the walls and other building elements in the FIRST FLOOR PLAN andlor BASEMENT FLOOR PLAN. However, the principal information it presents are the following: ‘a. Position of the columns or posts, masonry walls and other building elements at the foundation level; b. Necessary measurements to show the spatial relationships between the building parts, as well as for plotting their exact positions on the ground during construction. ‘c. Spaces for concrete slabs on fil and their thickness; sizes and spacing of steel reinfarcing or temperature bars, if required; d, Foundation work required for other facilities like driveways, outdoor terraces, patios, steps, walkways and other amenities related to the function of the proposed building ‘The height of concrete slabs on fill or depth of excavation for basement, if any, may also be noted ‘on the foundation plan, although these can also be ascertained from the ELEVATIONS or SECTION drawings. DETAIL DRAWINGS ASSOCIATED WITH THE FOUNDATION PLAN To complement the FOUNDATION PLAN, separate drawings of the columns, footings and other members supporting the base of the building and transmitting its dead and ive loads to the ground are prepared at a bigger scale. The small scale ofthe foundation plan does not permit the presentation of the Fretulled information about the columns, posts, piers, pilaster, masonry walls, their footings and other foundation supports. Thus, itis necessary to have amplified drawings of these members, usually at scale 7:20 meters, so that more details about them could be included and clearly shown In the FOUNDATION PLAN, each structural member is given an identification mark, like: C-1, C-2, C-3 for any three different kinds of columns; or WF-1, WF-2, WF-3 for three kinds of masonry walls. The DETAIL DRAWINGS of the columns and walls are also assigned their respective identification marks corresponding to those they represent in the FOUNDATION PLAN. ‘The FOUNDATION PLAN and the SCHEDULE or DETAIL DRAWINGS of columns, footings and foundation walls should be prepared on the same drawing sheet to facilitate easy and convenient cross- reference between them SECTIONS Ian ELEVATION drawing shows the exterior details of a building, a SECTION drawing reveals the innards of the structure. A section shows the interior view, as projected on an imaginary vertical plane that passes through a given axis ofthe building. The positions of imaginary planes where section sews are token are indicated by section lines drawn along the length and across the floor plans of the building, (7 ESTIMATING BILL OF MATERIALS - Tagayun
