Introduction
The following CAD drawings have been developed to assist in communicating VAHBS concepts
to the project team. They are intended as a guide to the type of information that the A/E should
incorporate in the construction documents in order to communicate the VAHBS concept and
strategies to the Contractor.
The drawings have been prepared in accordance with VHA National CAD Standard Application
Guide. The Design A/E shall make revisions for construction type, dimensions, geometries,
service systems; and any other project specific requirements if any portions of these drawing
files are to be included in the construction document package.
Note that the drawing numbering begins with 00000-5 for the typical service module and
channel diagrams and notes. These drawings have been numbered top continue the sequence
for VA architectural standard details in section 00000. VA standard details are generally
numbered by specification section or division. 00000 is used for details that relate to multiple
disciplines or do not otherwise fit in a single section.
The interstitial floor system (deck) details are numbered to relate to Master Specification Section
03522, INSULATING CONCRETE INTERSTITIAL DECK.
