As interior designers assume an expanding role coordinating interior projects, producing construction drawings has become even more integral to their job. This book provides interior designers with the information and skills they need to create construction documents that clearly communicate the interior space of new construction, remodeling, or installation projects. Organized in two parts, this book discusses graphic language as a communication tool in design and architecture and details the construction document process, from overall concepts and organization to current practices and topics such as floor plans, sections, elevations, millwork, schedules, finish and furniture plans, lighting and electrical plans, HVAC and plumbing plans, and preparing specifications
