Structural drawing

They do not address architectural details like surface finishes, partition walls, or mechanical systems.

[1] The structural drawings set has different subsets: General Notes, Plans, Elevations, Sections, and Details General Notes are part of structural drawings and they cover the codes used in design and the by-laws of the building.

Structural notes provide information regarding general material properties (steel or wood grade, concrete strength, etc) or construction requirements (soil compaction, weld procedures, etc).

The structural notes also provide information about design criteria (gravity, seismic, and wind loading).

The sections usually are cut through walls or structural elements that are not typical and the constructor needs to be aware of.
