PREFACE
This Standard was prepared by the Joint Standards Australia/Standards New Zealand
Committee ME-072, Technical Drawing, to supersede AS 1100.301—1985, Technical
Drawing, Part 301: Architectural drawing, and AS 1100.301 Suppl 1—1986, Architectural
drawings (Supplement to AS 1100.301—1985).
The objective of this Standard is to provide architects, builders, drafting officers and others
in the building industry with a common method for the representation of buildings and their
components to enable the preparation and unambiguous interpretation of architectural
drawings.

The previous edition outlined differences in practice between Australia and New Zealand in
the conventions for representing hinged doors and windows. In this revision, a single
convention has been adopted. The adopted convention was chosen because it is the most
widely used convention internationally. At present, there is no convention for hinged
windows and doors in the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). A proposed
convention is shown in Section 4.
In addition to relevant international Standards listed in AS 1100.101, this Standard is in
agreement with the following international Standards:

SCOPE
AND
GENERA L
1.1 SCOPE
This Standard sets out requirements and recommendations for architectural drawing
practice. It is complementary to AS 1100.101.
This Standard indicates methods of presenting drawings of architectural work, before,
during and after the construction period.
The Standard includes information on abbreviations (additional to those in AS 1100.101),
the layout of drawing sheets, line conventions and conventions for the cross-referencing of
drawings, coordinates and grids.
NOTE: Examples of drawings are given in Appendix C.
1.2 APPLICATION
The principles given in this Standard are intended for adoption by architects, engineers,
drafters and builders in both Government agencies and private enterprise throughout
Australia.
The Standard is intended as a basis for common practice and consistency of application,
upon which technical organizations can base their own detailed rules or manuals for the
preparation and presentation of drafting work.
The application of this Standard may require reference to AS 1100.201, AS 1100.401
AS 1101.501 and AS/NZS 1102.111.

1.4 DEFINITIONS
For the purpose of this Standard, the definitions given in AS 1100.101, and those below
apply:
1.4.1 Detail
Auxiliary view removed from its true projected position in order to provide added clarity. It
may be drawn as a full or partial view and the scale may be the same as that of the main
view or larger.
NOTE: Alternative term in AS 1100.101 is ‘removed view’.
1.4.2 Elevation
The projection on a vertical plane of any object, such as a building or component, viewed at
right angles to the plane of projection.
NOTE: Alternative terms in AS 1100.101 are ‘side, front and rear view’.
1.4.3 Job datum
A clearly defined and accessible marker that will be visible and which cannot be moved
during the course of a job, from which the required levels of the parts of a building or its
site can be readily measured during construction.
1.4.4 Level
The height or depth of an object or point related to a specified datum.
NOTE: Where possible, this datum should be the Australian Height Datum or the New Zealand
Height Datum of Mean Sea Level.
1.4.5 Plan
The horizontal section or projection of any object, such as a building, or the projection on a
horizontal plane of a site, building or component, viewed from above at right angles to the
plane of section or projection.
NOTE: Alternative term in AS 1100.101 is ‘top view’.
Accessed by RMIT UNIVERSITY LIBRARY on 23 Jun 2010
1.4.6 Reduced level (RL)
A level related to a nominated datum.
1.4.7 Reflected plan
The plan of a ceiling or the like, viewed from above as if reflected by the upper surface of a
horizontal plane of section below the ceiling.
1.4.8 Section
The view of an object at the cutting plane, which may typically include that detail beyond
the cutting plane.
1.5 CLASSIFICATION OF DOCUMENTS
1.5.1 General
For clarity in communication and to enable information to be found quickly, documents
shall be classified according to the type of information to be presented.
www.standards.org.au
© Standards Australia
AS 1100.301—2008
6
Each document should contain only information that is appropriate to its category.
Drawings should not contain information which can be better conveyed by schedules or
specifications, and vice versa.
1.5.2 Document classification
1.5.2.1 Types
For the purpose of classification, documents may be identified as ‘drawings’ or ‘other
documents’, as outlined in Clauses 1.5.2.2 and 1.5.2.3.
1.5.2.2 Drawings
Drawings are classified as follows:
(a)
Drawings at design stage Design drawings are as follows:
(i)
Schematic drawing A preliminary design drawing, sketch or diagram showing,
in outline form, the designer’s general intention.
(ii)
Development drawing A design drawing developed to show the building and
site as envisaged by the designer and from which production drawings can be
produced.
NOTE: These drawings are intended for client decision-making and are non-technical.
(b)
Drawings at production stage Production stage drawings are as follows:
(i)
Location drawing A drawing produced in order to—
(A)
gain an overall picture of the layout and shape of the building;
(B)
determine setting-out dimensions for the building as a whole;
(C)
locate and identify the spaces and parts of the building, e.g. rooms, doors,
cladding panels, drainage; and
(D)
pick up references that lead to more specific information, particularly
about junctions between the parts of the building.
Each group of location drawings will almost always include site plans, floor
plans, elevations, sections and very often, drainage plans, but there may be
occasions where further categories such as joist layouts, reflected ceiling plans
or the enlargement of complex areas may be necessary.
Accessed by RMIT UNIVERSITY LIBRARY on 23 Jun 2010
(ii)
Construction (or structural) detail drawing A drawing to show details
necessary for the construction phase of the project. Such drawings show how a
given item relates to the other items around it (for example, detailed brickwork
layout for feature brickwork, sheet flooring layout).
(iii) Component drawing A drawing to show the information necessary for the
manufacture and application of components. Information on basic sizes, and
system or performance data are often also shown.
(iv)
Assembly drawing A drawing to show in detail the relationship of buildings
and junctions in and between elements and components.
1.5.2.3 Other documents
Other documents identified at production stage are as follows:
(a)
Specification A precise description of materials and workmanship of a project, or
parts thereof, that are not shown on drawings or in schedules.
(b)
Schedule Tabulated information on a range of similar items differing in detail, such
as doors and windows.
© Standards Australia
www.standards.org.au

AS 1100.301—2008
(c)
Bill or schedule of quantities A complete listing of the quantities of material, labour
and any other items required to carry out a project, based on the specification,
drawings and schedules.
(d)
Engineering specifications and/or other reports may be required to allow the proposed
construction to proceed effectively.
(e)
Other documents that may be required by statutory authorities or that clarify the
drawings, specifications, other reports as mentioned above or that may assist with the
construction process. Such documents may not be required on all projects (for
example, energy efficiency certificates and details to be considered in relation to
Occupational Health and Safety).
1.5.2.4 Appendices to drawings
The amount of information that the designer may want to put on a given drawing may not
physically fit on the drawing sheet. The designer may also wish to avoid making the
drawing too cluttered with text; an appendix to such a drawing may be used as required by
the designer.
Where an appendix is used, it may be placed at the back of the drawing sheets or
immediately behind the relevant drawing (within the collection of drawing sheets).
Accessed by RMIT UNIVERSITY LIBRARY on 23 Jun 2010
Where details or notes applicable to any drawing are on a separate sheet (i.e. an Appendix),
the drawing concerned shall clearly show that an appendix applies to that drawing. This
may be indicated by a note located in the bottom section of the drawing sheet. In addition,
the appendix sheet shall have a clear reference back to the relevant drawing sheet. The
reference on the appendix (referring to a particular drawing sheet) shall be clearly
discernible and located in the bottom section of the appendix sheet.

2.1 PAPER SIZE
The dimensions of the paper sheets upon which the drawings are to be drawn or printed are
to be determined by the person doing the drawing. In making such a decision, various
relevant issues should be considered (for example, the client’s requirements; the size and
complexity of the drawings to be done; the end use of the drawings; the requirements of
various statutory authorities).
2.2 DIMENSIONING
Units and methods used in dimensioning of drawings shall be in accordance with
AS 1100.101 and AS ISO 1000. Dimensions may be indicated in accordance with the
conventions in Figure 2.1.

NOTE: The symbols are recommended only and, where possible, the symbols should be drawn without
their associated abbreviations, to minimize clutter and improve clarity. Abbreviations should not be
required, for example, where a larger scale drawing is cross-referenced, but may be required if there is a
need for other symbols of similar appearance.
Examples of symbols not included are refrigerator, dishwasher, clothes washer, clothes dryer, cooker, wall
oven. Most of these would be squares or rectangles (possibly with a diagonal through them) and the
associated abbreviation.

2.10 DESIGNATION AND CODING OF SPACES AND COMPONENTS
2.10.1 General
Rooms or enclosed spaces, components, units of equipment and other items may be
numbered to facilitate identification, both on drawings and on schedules.
2.10.2 Sequence of numbering
The numbering or referencing should follow a logical sequence, the method adopted being
dependent on the nature of the job. Generally, numbering should proceed clockwise.
2.10.3 Designation of levels
Where the use of conventional terminology, e.g. basement, ground floor, first floor and the
like, could be confusing, building levels should be numbered from the lowest level
(Level 1) upwards. Special levels, such as lobbies at different levels, should be clearly
noted against the floor number.
2.10.4 Designation of rooms and spaces
A numerical sequence starting with 1 should be used to designate rooms and other
important spaces on each level. Small cupboards should not be given a separate number but
should be allocated the number of the room in which they are situated followed by an
appropriate suffix.
Stairs, ducts, shafts and the like, which are continuous through two or more levels should be
given the same number on each level with an appropriate distinguishing name or letter
prefix (e.g. Stair 3 or S3).
In all documentation, the room or space reference should be identified by prefixing it with
the level number on which it occurs and a dot, allowing sufficient digits for identification of
all rooms and spaces. Thus, where there are between 10 and 99 rooms—
2.08 means level 2, room 8, (not level 20, room 8)
Accessed by RMIT UNIVERSITY LIBRARY on 23 Jun 2010
2.12 means level 2, room 12
10.01 means level 10, room 1.
2.10.5 Identification of components
Where appropriate, suitable identification may be allocated to each class of component or
item of equipment. The nomenclature adopted shall be clearly stated both on drawings and
on schedules. Numbering within each class should be consecutive, starting from 1.
Additionally, a type number or letter may be shown if this is desired. Numbering may start
from 1 on each floor or may be consecutive for the whole building, as convenient.
When reference is made to a component or item of equipment other than on the plan on
which it is shown, the appropriate level number should precede the reference, as for spaces
(see Clause 2.10.4) (e.g. 2.S3 indicating level 2 stair S3).
2.10.6 Identification of windows and doors
Windows and doors shall be cross-referenced to drawings or schedules as shown in
Appendix B, Item (e).

3.1 EXPRESSION OF LEVELS
3.1.1 Method of showing a level on a plan view
Levels should be expressed to the nearest multiple of 5 mm or 0.005 m and the numerals for
the required level should be enclosed in a rectangular box. Where the level of an existing
feature is to be varied, the existing level should be placed directly above the box containing
the required level as follows:
52 045
53 540
Where there is a possibility that levels might be confused with other numerals on a drawing,
(e.g. room numbers, linear dimensions or grid references), the use of the prefix RL (reduced
level) or FFL (finished floor level), as applicable, is recommended as follows:
RL
53 540
Where it is not clear as to the limits of the given reduced level, those limits should be
clearly defined. Those limits may be defined in various ways (e.g. as defined by reference
lines; as defined by test on the drawing or in an appendix).
3.1.2 Alternative methods of showing a level on a plan view
There are three general methods for the indication of levels on plan views, as follows:
(a)
Job datum level The job datum level is indicated by the symbol
numerals for that level as follows:
followed by the
100 000
Accessed by RMIT UNIVERSITY LIBRARY on 23 Jun 2010
The position of the job datum should be clearly marked on site plans together with a
short description and its assumed level which should be such that all of the reduced
levels specified for a given job will be positive numbers.
(b)
Spot levels Spot levels are used to indicate the required or existing level for a
specific point or limited area and consist of the symbol + placed at the exact spot to
which the level applies, followed by the numerals for the proposed or existing level as
follows:
+
(c)
52 045,
or
+
53 540
or
+
52 045
53 540
Contour lines Contour lines are used to indicate the slope and shape of the ground
surface. They shall be drawn to pass through all points on the site having the same
RLs. The RL represented is placed at the end of each line at the site boundary, or in
the case of large sites, may be placed at intermediate points in or on the line.

www.standards.org.au

AS 1100.301—2008
The type of line, in accordance with AS 1100.101, shall be as follows:
(i)
For existing surface, to remain unchanged................................continuous thin.
(ii)
For existing surface, to be changed ................................................dashed thin.
(iii) For required finished surface ...................................................continuous thin.
3.1.3 Levels on section or elevation
Levels, existing or proposed, should be projected clear of the detail by means of an
extension line and indicated as shown in Figure 3.1. A box is not required when a level is
written on such a line drawn in elevation.
NOTE: Levels should be to SFL or FFL
FIGURE 3.1 INDICATION OF LEVEL ON SECTION
Accessed by RMIT UNIVERSITY LIBRARY on 23 Jun 2010
3.2 EXPRESSION OF SLOPE
For the specification of vertical angles that are capable of being established on a site by
means of simple measuring devices, the slope (gradient, pitch, fall or incline) of surfaces,
such as roofs, gutters, ramps and the like should be expressed in the form of a numerical
ratio Y:X, where Y is the vertical dimension and X is the horizontal dimension of a rightangled triangle, the hypotenuse of which is the slope (see Figure 3.2).
For convention, the vertical dimension will always form the first part of the ratio.
Thus for slopes flatter than 1:1, the first number will be unity (e.g. 1:20 and for slopes
steeper than 1:1), the second number will be unity (e.g. 5:1).
The use of angular measurement for slopes in degrees or radians is acceptable in certain
cases where a higher degree of accuracy is required.

CONVENT I O NS
4.1 GENERAL
This Section provides architectural drawing conventions. The scale of drawn items will
affect the quantity of detail shown. Detail appropriate to the scale should be provided.
The conventions shown here are mostly suitable for 1:100 scale. For windows and doors,
the outer lines on elevations indicate the frame. Lines inside window and door outer lines
shall be continuous thin, unless stated otherwise.
All conventions for external doors and windows are viewed from the exterior unless stated
otherwise. Internal doors and windows should be shown with the direction of viewing
noted. The conventions shown in this Section are typical of a range of applications.
Conventions shown may be combined or used in a different context as long as the meaning
of the convention is maintained. An example would be a style of door being used as a
window.

6.1 GENERAL
This Section provides rules for the representation of modular sizes, lines and grids on
construction drawings. The basic module M is 100 mm.
Generally, modular sizes should be used on design drawings and construction and work
sizes should be used on production drawings.
Multimodular grids may be added, to a limited extent, on construction drawings for
manufacturing and construction for orientation and location. If necessary, the drawings
should have a note indicating that modular sizes are being used.
6.2 DESIGNATIONS OF MODULAR SIZES
6.2.1 General
Drawings with sizes indicated in modules (instead of in millimetres or metres) should have
a clear note explaining that this is the case.
6.2.2 Designations
The designations of modular sizes are as follows—
Modular:
n×M
Basic module:
M
Multimodules:
3M, 6M, 12M
Modular sizes:
10M
Multimodular sizes:
10 × 3M, 5 × 6M
Non-modular, if needed:
M
6.3 REPRESENTATION OF MODULAR LINES AND SIZES
Accessed by RMIT UNIVERSITY LIBRARY on 23 Jun 2010
6.3.1 Modular and multimodular lines
Modular and multimodular lines shall be drawn using a continuous line. The lowest level
shall be drawn using a continuous thin line (see Figure 6.1).
6.3.2 Axial position
Where necessary for reasons of clarity, a modular line in an axial position may be indicated
by a chain thin line (see Figure 6.6).
6.3.3 Multimodular grid lines
Where necessary for identification purposes, multimodular grid lines shall be terminated
with a circle drawn with a type B (thin) line (see Figure 2.2(a)).
The line may be designated by a reference inside the circle (see Figure 6.6).
6.3.4 Terminations
The sizes of terminations (e.g. arrowheads and oblique lines) shall be the same for single
and modular sizes (see Figure 6.7).

6.4 REPRESENTATION OF MODULAR GRIDS
6.4.1 Modular lines
Modular grids shall be drawn with modular lines.
Modular grids with different line intervals that are superimposed may be clarified by using
a continuous thin line for the smallest interval, a continuous thick line for the next largest
interval, and so on (see Figure 6.1).

APPENDIX A
DIMENSIONING BY COORDINATES AND USE OF GRIDS
(Normative)
A1 DIMENSIONING BY COORDINATES
Dimensioning by coordinates can be used where a building or structure is so set out that the
faces or centre-lines of its elements coincide with, or can be related to, the intersection
points and lines of a regularly spaced three-dimensional grid. The elements can be located
and dimensioned in relation to a point of origin by a system of Cartesian coordinates. The
origin should be external to the space occupied by the site or structure and it should be
capable of being physically established. Only points on the positive sides of the x, y and z
axes should be used.
In this system, the coordinates of a point on plan view shall be indicated by the relevant
figures (in x, y sequence) enclosed in brackets and placed at the right hand side of the point
to which they refer. The height of a point on elevational views (i.e. on the z axis) shall be
shown by means of a horizontal grid line, terminating with a circle and the grid reference
height above the point of origin prefixed by the letter ‘z’.
A2 USE OF GRIDS
A2.1 General
A network of lines or planes may be used for reference on a drawing or on a site. Its use
may be for sheet reference only or for actual setting out of the work on the site.
Grids usually consist of straight lines at set distances apart. They can vary from linear to
three-dimensional reference.
A2.2 Types of grid
A2.2.1 Sheet reference grid
See AS 1100.101.
A2.2.2 Planning grid
Accessed by RMIT UNIVERSITY LIBRARY on 23 Jun 2010
A grid used for layout and planning. Often advantageous where prefabricated sections form
a repeated module.
A2.2.3 Structural grid
A grid used for locating structures. Planning and structural grids should be related to
preferred dimensions where possible. They need not necessarily be to the same module, or
even be increments of each other in a simple mathematical relationship.
The grid should be drawn on the most stable paper or plastic sheet available so that when it
is used as an underlay, successive floor plans or levels can be accurately drawn.
Generally, grid lines pass through column centres both ways except where the column, duct
or lift shaft face is critical, in which case the grid line may coincide with that face. The grid
plan is usually determined at the lowest level and any changes in column locations at upper
levels are shown on it. The grid plan dimensions become the basis for all other work on the
drawing.
The grid is repeated on all subsequent drawings (with any necessary adjustment of scale)
and forms the base to which all plan dimensions are related.

AS 1100.301—2008
42
A2.2.4 Reference grid
A grid used for reference only. It may be to any selected dimension and the lines need not
necessarily be equally spaced. They can be regular or tartan pattern, to suit the function
required.
A2.2.5 Modular grid
A grid used where a building method using a module is adopted. It may be two-dimensional
or three-dimensional grid, based on the module, and may be used to combine the functions
of planning, structural and reference grids. For representation of modular grids see
Section 6.
A2.3 Grid notation
Different methods of grid notation have previously existed.
The method used should be consistent throughout a project. Either of the following methods
is recommended:
When completely defining the location of points by their distance from the origin in
three dimensions, use x, y, z coordinates.
(b)
When using a two-dimensional structural grid (see AS 1100.501), use letters for lines
running down the sheet and numbers for lines running across the sheet.
