Reading Mechanical Drawings

Reading Mechanical Drawings
• How to navigate a set of drawings
• Understanding an architect from an engineer from a GC.
• How do look for the “M” pages
• Drawing versions, up to “as built”
• Where to get drawings printed economically, if you can’t produce them in-house
• Understanding existing equipment vs. new equipment (as in a renovation project)
• Knowing that the brand and model specified may not be what was installed.
• Ultimately, how to pull a complete equipment inventory from a set of drawings
