Gas Station Construction Documents and Building Plans
Once your gas station's schematic design is approved, it is time to get organized to roll up your sleeves. Our architects will work on your construction documents, the construction manual. This document contains all the specifications you will need to take your venture off the drawing board, all within the standards we know very well, and with the best cost-benefit for you.
/ Content
Remember your gas station's floor plan that showed how the site would be occupied? The construction documents also include plans and sections with the floor layouts, elevations, and perspectives, but this time we give you all the technical specifications and detailing for municipal approval.
The construction documents provide the model, size, and materials of the elements, among other information and detailing, to coordinate the supporting designs.
/ References
The construction documents are highly valuable not only for service providers but for the gas station owner. The detailing will help you follow the work and guide your evaluation of the delivered construction. The document is prepared according to NBR 13.531/95, a specific standard that covers every stage of your construction.
You have a construction guide in hand and can use it to check whether the construction and installation procedures are correct, whether the purchase of materials matches what was specified, the execution time, and the finishing standard.
/ Many layers
That's right! Here come various details, such as the electrical and plumbing point designs.
The Council of Architecture and Urbanism (CAU) establishes some groups of information in the construction documents:
- Plans and detailed drawings;
- Elevations and sections;
- Technical and execution specifications;
- Area tables;
The document continues with special recommendations on the slope of the land (change in level), roof pitch, rainwater runoff, and may also contain the flooring layout, the lighting design, point detailing, and everything relevant to the building.
/ Checklist
There are several checklist suggestions for your gas station's construction documents, and our architects take care of that for you. Out of curiosity, here are some of the suggested blocks of information: finishing materials; general table with scales and area measurements; detailing (textures, materials, dimensions); point detailing (plumbing, electrical, etc.); color mapping; mapping of glass and metal components, etc. Also governed by ABNT, this document greatly values the architects' research and design work, and you can be sure we will develop your gas station's construction documents as if they were for ourselves!
Oh! Another piece of information our clients really value is the budget spreadsheet that can come along, containing market prices and the estimated delivery time; this data helps with budget management.
