NKBA Drawings and D ocuments

Kitchen and bath drawings are referred to as a set of drawings or plans. These drawings give a visual representation of how the space will look when completed as well as where items are to be installed. Each drawing has a purpose and presents information necessary for individuals involved with the project, including the installer, contractor, electrician, plumber, and others involved. Each page in the set of drawings is numbered and cross-referenced to the relevant drawing. There is an industry standard order of drawing placement within the set of plans.

An overview of each page found in a set of NKBA drawings and documents is described in this chapter. You will learn how to create the various drawings step-by-step as you read through this book. To help you focus on key components of this chapter, learning objectives are listed next.

Learning Objective 1: Identify drawings in a set of NKBA plans.

Learning Objective 2: Understand cut height and its relationship to the floor plan.

Learning Objective 3: Understand components found on the different types of drawings.

THE SET OF NKBA DRAWINGS

Each sheet in a set of drawings is identified with a title block placed at the bottom or right side of the page. Drawings are bound on the left side. The title block contains important information that identifies the type of drawing and project specifics (see Figure 1.1).

Figure 1.1 The title block on each sheet cross references the other drawings in the set of drawings.

Together the drawings and documents communicate the entire scope of the project as well as all the pertinent details. We must have client approval on all drawings for the project to ensure there are no questions regarding the work that will be completed. It is important that the entire set of drawings be reviewed by everyone involved with the project. The typical set of NKBA project drawings consists of a title page, floor plan, construction plan, mechanical plan, and interior elevations. Detail drawings and cross-sectional drawings may be needed to show more specific details. A perspective drawing is often included to show a three-dimensional view of the space. Additional drawings may include a countertop plan, soffit plan, or reflected ceiling plan. Other documents also typically included are a schedule, specifications, and a design statement (see Figure 1.2).

Figure 1.2 Drawings found in a typical set of NKBA drawings.

Title Page

The title page is the cover page for a set of drawings. Information typically included on the title page is the client or building name, location, designer's name and design firm's name, a key to the symbols for materials, and an index of the drawings. It may also include an illustration (see Figure 1.3).

Figure 1.3 The title page is the cover page for the set of NKBA drawings. This page typically includes the client's name and an index of drawings.

Floor Plan

The floor plan is the central reference point for all the other drawings in the set of documents. A floor plan is an overhead cutaway view of the room. It generally depicts the entire room and shows all major structural elements, such as walls, door swings, door openings, partitions, windows, and archways. It also shows cabinet, appliance, and fixture placement, dimensions, nomenclature, and other necessary notes. There are industry standards used for drafting a floor plan, so that other individuals involved in the project will be able to interpret the information on the drawings (see Figure 1.4).

Figure 1.4 Cutting plane height (cut height) is at ceiling for NKBA drawings so all details may be captured in the design of the space.

The typical scale used for NKBA drawings is ½″ = 1′−0″ (1:20 metric). This scale allows the drafter to provide the required level of detail. The dimensions written on the plans are exact and are always used as the actual measurement when reading a plan. Never use a scale to measure dimensions on a floor plan. The plan could be distorted from duplication or a line could be off. Always use the dimensions written on the floor plan. Sometimes the drawings may not be perfectly to scale, in which case there may be a notation “NTS” (“not to scale”) in the title block.

There are line types and symbols used on a floor plan and other drawings that are standard in the industry. Specifications are also placed on the floor plan to provide more specific information. These are explained in detail in chapter 4 (see Figure 1.5).

Figure 1.5 NKBA floor plan with floor plan specifications on the right side.

Construction Plan

A construction plan is another type of drawing found in the set of NKBA drawings. If walls or openings need to be altered from their original locations, a construction plan is required. This plan shows both the existing floor plan and the changes to be made to achieve the design. Changes include items such as removing and/or adding windows, doors, walls, plus more. Specific wall symbols are used to denote changes made to original floor plan of the space. More information can be found in chapter 6.

The construction plan includes only the walls, changes to the walls, dimensions, and a construction legend indicating what the symbols represent (see Figure 1.6).

Figure 1.6 Construction plan indicating new walls and walls to be removed. Note construction legend on right side of drawing.

Mechanical Plan

Another drawing in the set of NKBA drawings is the mechanical plan. The mechanical plan indicates placement of the electrical system, lighting, plumbing, heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC). As with the other plans, standard symbols are used on the mechanical plan to denote each item found on the plan. (More information can be found in chapter 3.) The mechanical plan must have a legend that illustrates the symbols used on the plan along with descriptions, and it must cross reference all symbols on the floor plan. The mechanical plan contains a great deal of information. The cabinet nomenclature is omitted from the plan so that all information can be more easily read (see Figure 1.7).

Figure 1.7 Mechanical plan showing plumbing, lighting, electrical, heating, and ventilation information. Note the mechanical legend on right side of the drawing.

It is important to understand mechanical plans because, as you create a design, you may need to determine whether there is any flexibility in the plumbing supply line, drain, or vent locations, for example. Most likely you will not illustrate the entire heating and air conditioning system, but you do need to identify where the vents are and should be aware of where the ducting is within the structure and how it will affect your design.

Interpretive Drawings

An interpretive drawing helps viewers visualize what the finished project will look like. Interpretive drawings are used as an explanatory means of understanding the floor plans. The most common interpretive drawings are interior elevations and perspectives.

Interior Elevation

The interior elevation (elevation) is a two-dimensional drawing of the interior wall as you are facing it. All walls with cabinets, the sides of an island, and any built-in items and architectural features need an elevation to show how they will look when installed. This drawing is to scale and includes the heights and widths of all items. Since this drawing is two-dimensional, it is a flat surface and does not show the depths of items. The interior elevations are cross-referenced with the floor plan (see Figure 1.8.).

Figure 1.8 A typical interior elevation drawing showing one wall of a kitchen with the dimensions on all four sides. It is to scale in height and width but does not convey any depth.

Perspective Drawings

The perspective drawing is a three-dimensional view that shows how the given space will look. The realistic appearance of a perspective makes it the ideal type of interpretive drawing because it most closely resembles what the human eye sees. Perspective drawings are not drawn to a true scale but to perspective scale. This means that items in the drawing appear larger as they are closer to the viewer. Since the perspective drawing is three-dimensional, you can see the depth of items so they look more realistic and in better proportion without distortion (see Figure 1.9).

Section Drawings and Detail Drawings

A section drawing (also referred to as a cross section) represents a vertical cut through the object to show the interior. A cross section can show the interior construction of an object, the relationships of floors in a building, or more detailed construction of items such as cabinetry, moldings, soffits, or backsplashes. To illustrate in more detail how these items are put together, an additional detail drawing may be necessary. The detail drawings show the relationship of parts and components for the specific object you are working with and are drawn at a larger scale. A typical section drawing is used to show how moldings may be stacked on a cabinet for a project (see Figure 1.10).
