Australian Cad Standards Manual
Well, the classic EU standard is Neufert. Both UK and the Continent. Your age is showing, Robert!
Actually, the Neufert (maybe there are other Neuferts than the Bible of my youth, which nicely meshed in with the Giedion Bible) does not deal much with drafting standards. The Metric Handbook used to be the worldwide reference in that respect, but the focus of that is also in design solutions and such. Drafting standards vary wildly. The long discussion about rigid insulation is just an indication.
UNSW Drafting Standards - Design & Construction Requirements. Updated July 2015. APP 4.1.4 Operating and Maintenance Manuals. Australian Standard AS1100; that is printable to scale, on ISO size sheet which is legible.
And what is drafting! One also has to know about the building industry standards. Christiaan, the book you are looking for has to be written, there is nothing on the market. AEC offers you a LAYER structure and a filenaming structure. Neufert is a disignguideline but no standard.
If it goes to court you can not rely on Neufert. YOU have to create the standard in your designhandbook and your partners consultant. Has to deliver in accordance. If you are not in the position to create a designhandbook and follow up your orderer shall give you the standards. A designhandbook shall include all, from filestructure to lineweight.
As allways what you dont request will not happen. Have a nice day kalimera from greece. Christiaan, I will email you a PDF document that closely parallels the Australian Standard for Architectural Drawings. Most Australian Standards are very close to their UK equivalents (reflecting our historical links) and therefore it will probably be fairly close to the British Standard. (It is also very close to the Working Drawings Handbook by Keith Styles that I cited in an earlier post. I highly recommend it to you as a source.) Some questions: - Have you checked what the various Government Department's standards are? - Does the RIBA have a proscribed or recommended standard?
- Why hasn't your firm purchased the ISO standards you allude to? Christiaan, the book you are looking for has to be written, there is nothing on the market. AEC offers you a LAYER structure and a filenaming structure.

I'm not looking to.create. office standards for ourselves, I'm looking to bring our office standards more into line with international conventions and standards. I understand that the Finnish drafting standards are being (or will be) reviewed with CAD in general and BIM/Product Modeling in specific in mind. (I'm not exactly in the inner circle, so this is based deduction, hearsay and snippets of information!) Many conventions that are based on manual drafting are both irrelevant and difficult to apply. (Not that using the Batt Insulation Tool would be any more difficult than using a stencil & ink pen, but nevertheless.) If the standards in your country are counterproductive or onerous, it might be a good idea to let your professional body know your opinion.
As an example: in my last projects in Australia, I printed all required drawing sets in colour. Roses were red, violets were blue. Batt insulation was light yellow, rigid insulation darker. Plasterboard was gray, MDF was brown.
In short, I completely ignored standards and conventions - and both contractors and blokes were as happy as Larry and Bob was my uncle. Chomp a cigar and be a revolucionary!
Try understanding the message. There are only national standards like german, english and finish - ergo, there is not even a European standard, not to mention a global one 2. There is no book on the market you are looking for - all the National standards are not available as a single, cheap paperback volume that even your firm could afford 3. A collection of all europian standards(drafting) will cost you some thousand Euros - you have to buy all the standards separately from the National Standardisation Bodies Edited September 12, 2007 by Petri.

If the drawings read well and communicate well who cares? I realize that part of communicating well is based on conventions/standards but with a few callouts. And besides, the guys reading these are not stupid. So let 'er rip! One reason is that I'm not particularly interested in reinventing the wheel. We need a standard in our office and rather than make our own up as we go along (and there are always different opinions about what's convention and what's not) we might as well use one that's already invented and widely available.
Another reason is that the construction workforce in the UK is from all over the world. 2016 yamaha xjr1300 manual. I agree that our drawings should be readable and of a graphic style that's understandable to the British industry, and, as I understand it, ISO 128 won't preclude us from achieving that.
