Architectural Contract Document Production [first edition]

Nearly 60 to 70 percent of a typical architectural fee is spent on document and drawing production, so if this effort is poorly done, the project usually loses money. But unlike other "how-to" drawing books, this unique book will help guide the architect, the draftsman, the interior designer, the landscape architect, the design engineer, and anyone else engaged in difficult and time-consuming work of generating project drawings and documents better understand the "why" of this process, the proper sequence of drawing preparation, standards to refer to, how to coordinate different drawings at different points in the design and production stages of a project, and how to effectively maintain quality control over these documents. Also included will be extremely useful information on reprographics, computer-aided drawing and drawing storage.
