As-Built Drawings For Additions, Renovations, and Multi-Unit Housing

As-built drawings are drawings of the existing condition of your house. If you’re planning an addition, renovation, or multi-unit housing, you’ll need as-built drawings to serve as a template for the new residential design. The city will require records of the existing conditions anyway to see how the new design impacts the existing. With one site visit, we can create plans of your existing home that include:

 

  • ​​Scaled floor plans and elevations for every level of the house

  • Site plans showing setbacks, grades, and entrances

  • Detailed measurements of structural elements, bulkheads, windows, doors, and anything that could impact the design or construction​

 

Even if you're unsure which direction to take with your residential design project, starting with as-built drawings is a great first step. Learn more about as-built  drawings by clicking on the link below:

Fire Separation and Means of Egress For Multi-Unit Housing

​Fire separation is more than just drywall between units. It's about:
 

  • Knowing whether to use combustible or non-combustible construction.

  • Selecting the right ratings for walls, floors, and various assemblies

  • Calculate the allowable percentage of unprotected openings on exposed building faces

  • Allocating fire dampers at duct penetrations where required

  • Detailing fire blocking and fire stopping at concealed spaces and penetrations

  • Placement of smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors. ​

​

Requirements for exits, access to exits and means of egress as well as other exiting conditions such as

​

  • Accessibility

  • Number of exit access doorways/exit required

  • Fire-resistance rating of exits

  • Limiting obstructions in a means of egress

  • Signage, lighting, and hardware

​

All are part of the overall considerations when planning a multi-unit residential design.
