1. Interpret technical drawings and plans. (TLE_IACP7/8ID-0f-2)
a. Read the working plan.
b. Interpret working plan.
II. GUIDE QUESTIONS:

1. How do we read and interpret simple technical drawing signs and symbols
based on standard specification?
2. How do we interpret technical drawings and plans?
3. Why is it important to read and interpret technical drawings and plans?
III. DISCUSSION:
Good day my dear learners!
In this lesson, you will be able to independently read and interpret simple
technical drawing signs and symbols based on standard specifications. Also, you will
learn how to interpret technical drawings and plans.
Before we proceed to our lesson, tell me what comes into your mind when you hear
technical drawings and plans in carpentry? Write your answers on a separate sheet. (All
answers will be accepted.)

What does the drawing show? Why do you think carpenters have to interpret drawings
and plans? Write your answers on a separate sheet.
1.1 Read and interpret working plans.
BLUEPRINT READING
Building plans and specification form part of the working drawings needed in any construction
project.
A Blueprint or working drawing should include the following:
1. Site plan- essentially shows the location of

a building or house site. It includes the
following:
 Lot number
 Distance of the house from the site
boundaries
 Name of the road on which the
site is located
 Actual size of the site
 Compass direction
 Position and size of the casement
 Scale of the drawing
TLE 7 Carpentry - Page 2 of 5

2. Elevation is a scaled drawing of the front rear or side of a building. It includes dimensions
that cannot be shown on a floor plan such as the height dimension.
3. Details. Most working drawings are drawn to the scale of 1:100 which is rather small. It is
not always possible to show important shapes, positions for assembly, and dimensions of
specific parts of a building. A separate drawing is made using the larger scales of 1:5 or 1:10.
4. Specification is a written document prepared by an architect which serves as a set of

instructions or guidelines that accompanies a working drawing. It describes how certain aspects
of building construction are to be done and which materials are to be used. It also describes
their desired quality and the expected standard of work.
EXAMPLE:
Reading / Interpreting Elevation Drawing

Interpretation:
The drawing is about a house plan. The data given are the following;
 Elevation of the floor from the ground which is 0.175 m.
 Height of the post and walls from finish floor line which is 3.0 m.
 Width of the gutter which is 0.30 m.
 Height of the roof which is 2.75 m.
 Length of the roof which is 9.50 meters having a 1.50 meters extension from the wall.
IV. GENERALIZATION
Drawings are important because they are used to communicate the technical details of a
project in a common format. The drawings also become the foundation for future projects and
cost savings for customers. Knowing how to read and interpret a working drawing saves time,
money and effort in the construction of building.
V. EXERCISES:
Directions: Based on the building plan below, interpret every data given and then
write your answer in a clean sheet of paper.
