A civil drawing , or site drawing , is a type of technical drawing that shows information about grading, landscaping, or other site details. These drawings are intended to give a clear picture of all things in a construction site to a civil engineer. Drawings are the language for the Civil Engineers Engineering drawing is normally the starting point in a long chain of events which finally results in the construction of a building project.

Preliminary Drawings Good For Construction As Built Drawings Drawings at Stage Wise
Preliminary Drawings: PRELIMINARY DRAWINGS are the initial plans for projects prepared by the designer or architect’s and engineer’s (A/E) firm during the early planning or promotional stage of the building development. Theyprovide a means of communication between the designer and the user (customer). These drawings are NOT intended to be used for construction They are used for exploring design concepts Material selection Preliminary cost estimates, approval by the customer Basis for the preparation of finished working drawings.
These drawings are prepared based on the design presented in the preliminary drawings. GFC drawings are further developed, define and improved Gives Complete picture of the project Contain detail dimensioning information that establishes sizes, Relationships, and Location of all elements of the project. Good For Construction Drawings(GFC):
As built drawings are usually the original design drawings revised to reflect any changes made in the field, i.e., design changes issued by change order, component relocations required for coordination, rerouting of distribution systems, etc. This provides the full scope of work undertaken Allows for easy assessment of existing buildings — to help eliminate any surprises that may arise down the track, during future alterations. They are drawings that represent the actual built structure. Nothing replaces the actual measured and field verified set of drawings. And nothing will save you cost and headaches as much as a thoroughly developed set of as-built drawings. As Built Drawings:
