Sheet Numbering

The sheeting method we generally follow and outlined here is the National CAD Standard which essentially creates a sheet organizational strategy that allows for better coordination among disciplines and for the Contractor to be familiar with where to find types of drawings.

(May make sense to include some details on other sheets if there is room, also an acoustical details sheet may make sense rather than layering them in with the other details, etc. Each project will be unique.)

EACH PROJECT WILL REQUIRE ITS OWN STRATEGY

The layout of sheets outlined in this section is just a starting point. The strategy will need to be tailored to the project.  

For instance
A project with multiple levels below grade will not allow for the foundation to be A110 or A120 and the other sheets such as A111 to indicate first floor. A strategy would need developed such as using A110.1 A110.2 to indicate floors below grade so that A111 could still be used as the first floor.   Alternatively a project with more than 9 floors above ground will need a different strategy. 

Additionally, a good strategy on complex projects is to put interior elevations, floor finish plans, etc. on AF (Architectural Finishes) sheets rather than their typical place in the CAD Standard. This puts them at the back of the set which can help with the set lining up with the construction sequence.  This also allows the floor finish plans to mimic the floor plan sheets, IE A121B First floor sector B,  AF121B First floor sector B Floor finish plan.

AF sheets may not always make sense for a simple project, while on the other hand there may be a project that needs more designations than just A and AF. 

MISCELLANEOUS

There are usually sheets that are unique to a project, are a combination of drawing types or are unique way of documenting that don't fall into the normal sheet structure. Just find a good place for them in the set or use the Miscellaneous Series if there are enough of one type to have that make sense.

FOR EXAMPLE

Outbuildings  -  Makes sense to go after the site plan in the A050 Area

Reader Board - Also makes sense to go after the site plan in the A050 Area

Mounting Heights Diagram - Probably makes sense near the Casework details in the A590 Area

Unless Noted Otherwise sheets  or you could call it Project Standards (my own creation)

       - This seems to make sense in the 000 Series after Wall Assembly Details / Ceiling Assemblies
