About Construction Documents

Provide the essential details to build a design.

Construction documents are the records that you share with clients, engineers, and construction professionals to communicate a design. For example, clients need to see floor plans, elevations, and 3D drawings of the design for approval. Engineers from other disciplines will want to see those drawings, as well as more detailed drawings, to help them understand the building model and how it affects their work. Construction professionals need all of these drawings, as well as schedules and material takeoffs, to build the design.

A construction document set (also called a drawing set or a sheet set) consists of several sheets. Each sheet contains one or more drawings and schedules for the building design.
