possible or provide a drawing of similar equipment on the rendering(s). Mount
the rendering(s) on 750 mm high by 1000 mm wide (30 in. by 40 in.) bristol
board mat. Provide borders of 125 mm (5 in.) at the top and sides and 150 mm
(6 in.) at the bottom. The Project Manager will advise you as to the
appropriate labeling for renderings, which should be lettered on the mat
rather than on the rendering itself.
1.17 DRAWINGS
1.17.1 GENERAL
A. For VA's general drawing requirements, including organization, size,
scales, and Computer Aided Design and Drafting (CADD) format, see Design and
Construction Procedures, Topic 2, "Drawings".
B. For abbreviations related to finishes and doors, see Room Finishes, Door
and Hardware Schedule, Section I, "GENERAL". For other standard
abbreviations, see Section 1 of any of the VA Design Guides.
C. For fire-protection and equipment drawing symbols, see Architectural
Standard Detail 00000-1.dwf for Architectural Symbols.
1.17.2 COMPUTER AIDED DESIGN AND DRAFTING (CADD)
VA has adapted the National CAD Standard with additional requirements for VA
Application Guide.
1.17.3 INDEX
Provide a temporary index to drawings for all review submissions except the
final, which is to be permanent. The index, on standard size drawings, will
be part of the contract documents.
1.17.4 EQUIPMENT, CASEWORK, AND PLUMBING FIXTURES
On the 1:100 (1/8 in.) scale architectural floor plans, show all fixed items
of equipment, shelving, casework, etc., which occupy floor space (and any
items which require utilities). Note the proper symbols, contained in the VA
Equipment Reference Manual (PG-18-6) and Equipment Guide List (PG 7610), on
or immediately adjacent to each unit of shelving, casework, etc. However,
when 1:50 (1/4 in.) scale equipment floor plans are drawn for certain rooms
or area, show the proper symbols on these plans and not on the 1:100 (1/8
in.) scale plans. Show numerical designations ("P" numbers) for plumbing
fixtures on plumbing drawings only, not on architectural drawings.
1.17.5 FIRE-RATED AND SMOKE-BARRIER PARTITIONS
Use fire protection symbols for fire-rated
and smoke-barrier partitions, as
indicated in Architectural Standard Detail
00000-1, "Architectural Symbols",
on the 1:100 (1/8 in.) architectural floor
plans where the partition types
are designated, and on the fire protection
plans (FA drawings).
1.17.6 FLOOR DRAINS
Show all floor drains on the 1:100 (1/8 in.) architectural plans. Because of
possible problems from sewer gases, the number of floor drains is to be
minimized. Nevertheless, provide floor drains in all locations where
indicated in the Equipment Guide List 7610. Also provide floor drains at
walk-in refrigerators and controlled temperature rooms for condensation
return. Indicate the pitch of floor to drains on the 1:100 (1/8 in.) scale
drawings only.
