Transcription of GUIDELINES FOR PREPARING DRAWINGS FOR DESIGN …
1 GUIDELINES FOR PREPARING DRAWINGS FOR DESIGN PROFESSIONALS & DP SUBCONSULTANTS Use the following GUIDELINES when PREPARING DRAWINGS for UCSF Medical Center projects. 1. DRAFTING PROGRAMS: Computer Aided Drafting (CAD) shall be the only method for the production of construction documents. DRAWINGS shall be prepared and submitted in AutoCAD (version 2014 or newer) using the .DWG file format or in REVIT (version 2014 or newer) using the .RVT file format. DXF format will not be accepted. Use of REVIT is required for projects done at the Mission Bay Campus. These standards apply to all DRAWINGS prepared for the project, including the DESIGN professional s contract DRAWINGS and change order DRAWINGS . Each project has unique challenges when putting together a set of CDs. Use prudence when deciding how complicated the set should be while following the standards set herewith in.
2 2. PROJECT TITLE AND NUMBER: The project title and number is obtained from the Project Manager at the beginning of the Project and shall appear on ALL project documents (i/e any DRAWINGS , change orders, submittals/shop DRAWINGS , memos, emails, transmittals, etc.) This is a requirement, no exceptions. 3. DRAWING MEDIA: Preferred media for interim phases, submittals and final reproducible DRAWINGS is bond. Use paper with 50% recycled content or higher. 4. PLOTTING GUIDELINES : Description of color to pen width assignments and suggested layers where used. See Attachment #1. 5. LAYERING GUIDELINES : List of AutoCAD Architectural layers and where they are used. See Attachment #2. 6. DRAWING ARRANGEMENT: Sheet numbering needs to be consistent from project to project for ease of review and construction.
3 When combining DRAWINGS on the same sheet; plans and elevations; use the most prominent drawing for your sheet identification. See Attachment #3. 7. SHEET SIZE: Sheet sizes shall be coordinated with the University s Representative. The preferred sheet size is Architectural D -24 x 36 . Architectural F -30 x42 is acceptable on larger projects. For all sets, sheet size shall be uniform and shall not exceed 42 in any dimension. 8. SHEET LAYOUT: Drawing Area The limits of the drawing area shall be set to include all objects within the project area at the required prescribed scale for the drawing. All plans shall include a north arrow and a graphic scale. Orientation North is always toward the top of the sheet. No exceptions. (unless discussed with the Architecture Area) Title Blocks Allow room for consultants to affix registration seals and for DSA, Fire Marshal or OSHPD approval stamps.
4 Revision space in the title block shall be the only place utilized for noting revisions during construction. DRAWINGS must also reflect the correct University s Project Title, University s Project Number, Date and Sheet Title. The date which is to appear on final construction DRAWINGS shall be the date submitted to reviewing agency for plan check. Verify date with the University s Representative. Detail Numbering For clarity and ease of review and construction keep numbers within the same module consistent. See Attachment #4. Minimum Drawing Scales Site Plans: 1 = 40 Floor Plans: 1/8 = 1 -0 (1/4 preferred) Elevations/Sections: 1/8 = 1 -0 (1/4 preferred) Wall Sections: 1/4 = 1 -0 (1/2 preferred) 9. ABBREVIATIONS AND SYMBOLS: Consultants shall tailor the legend for the particular project and ensure that all abbreviations and symbols that are used within the DRAWINGS are listed.
5 Insist all technicians working on the project are familiar with the conventions. 10. ROOM NAME AND NUMBERS: Make all Room Name and Numbers consistent from DESIGN to occupancy. Contact Space Management for standard designations and format for listing rooms. See Attachment #5. 11. SIGNAGE: UCSF has Signage Standards which are included on a standard G Sheet. UCSF Medical Center can provide on a project by project request. 12. ACCESSIBILITY AND FIRE LIFE SAFETY PLANS: UCSF has Standard Accessibility and Life Safety Plans which are specific for each floor. UCSF Medical Center can provide on a project by project request. 13. TERMINOLOGY: The terminology used in the notations shown on the DRAWINGS must be consistent. The industry conventions are as shown in Attachment #6.
6 14. DIMENSIONING: The Dimensioning Standards must be consistent and accurate. The industry conventions are as shown in Attachment #7. 15. EQUIPMENT RESPONSIBILITY: Use the following equipment responsibility symbols to establish corresponding contract responsibilities. Verification of utility requirements for approved equipment items. Upon request, the University will make available dimensions and power characteristics of University-furnished items. Provisions of utility rough-in for equipment items where required irrespective of equipment responsibility designation unless specifically noted otherwise. Rough-in locations, sizes, capacities, etc., shall be as noted. If the University substitutes item similar to that specified, there shall be no change in rough-in cost unless substitution occurs after rough-in is completed or rough-in involves other utilities or utilities of capacity different from that required by item originally specified.
7 Symbol List: O designates the University; C designates the Contractor. CFCI Furnished by the Contractor; installed by the Contractor. OFCI Furnished by the University; installed by the Contractor. The University and the Contractor will coordinate deliveries of equipment to coincide with construction schedule, thereby minimizing storage of equipment before installation. 1. The University shall: a. Furnish all standard integral parts of equipment. b. Tailgate-deliver items to site. 2. The Contractor shall: a. Receive item at site and give written receipt for item at time of delivery, noting visible defects or omissions; if such declaration is not given, the Contractor shall assume responsibility for such defects and omissions. b. Store item until ready for installation. c. Uncrate, assemble and set item in place.
8 D. Install items in accord with manufacturer s recommendations, instructions and shop DRAWINGS under supervision of manufacturer s representative, supply labor and material required and making mechanical, plumbing and electrical connections necessary to operate equipment. OFOI Furnished by the University; installed by the University. Future item furnished by the University and installed by the University. The Contractor shall be responsible for satisfying space and utility requirements as specified or detailed on the DRAWINGS .

10 Space Number: Identifier for each room used in contract documents, equipment labels, panel boards and other mechanical, electrical, and data equipment. Room Sign: Identifier printed on signs and building directories. Common Name: Non-compliant room name or number used to assist to in way finding. May also be a historic name. Examples include MU244 East . MU and East are non-compliant designators. Room Code: Room use designator. Used only in the space database. Building Number (CAAN) Building numbers are referred to as CAAN (Capital Asset Account Numbers) and are assigned by the Manager of Space Management. This number is placed in the lower right corner (above the sheet number) of each drawing sheet. The archivist uses this number when the As-built record is bar coded and filed. The CAAN number for Building 21B has been assigned 3003.
