Plans and Specifications
Reading to Build
Starting Your Project Determine your needs
Plans Materials Tools
Plans are needed to determine materials Once you have materials, you can decide on tools
needed
Building Plans Collection of original drawings showing
How to build Specifications of the build Materials to use
Also known as blueprints
Can plans be the same size as the project? What do you do?
Draw to scale!
Reading Scale Think about a ruler
How do you use it?
Think of how you break down an inch
Reading Scale We have a building that is 100 feet long. How big of a piece of paper would we need?
Full size 100 feet
1 inch = 1 foot 100 inches
½ inch = 1 foot 50 inches
¼ inch = 1 foot 25 inches
1/8 inch = 1 foot 12.5 inches
Reading Scale Difficult to always try to measure with a ruler
and convert Architect’s Scale
Special type of ruler to help you make the conversions in one easy measurement
Reading Scale Scale has numerous sides with numerous
scales Scale marked on the side
Align the number on the scale with the scale your drawing is
Numbers printed will then help you determine feet
Reading Scale Numbers tell you whole feet Not everything is in whole feet
Use the small hashes at the end Be sure you know the division!
Look at number of marks See the relationship to 1 foot
Reading Scale ¼ scale
Each hash mark = 1 inch 12 hash marks 12 inches in a foot 12 ÷ 12 = 1
Reading Scale 1/8 scale
Each hash mark = 2 inches 6 hash marks 12 inches in a foot 12 ÷ 6 = 2

Symbols in Plans Symbols and shadings are used to represent
materials, fixtures, appliances, and equipment in plans
Many are standard, but sometimes there are minor variations

Specifications Notes about specific materials to use, work to
be done, methods, and procedures to ensure quality of product
More specifications = the closer the finished product is to the original thought
