What's in my set of architectural documents? Sharing everything: drawings, schedules, + specs.

- Drawings, schedules, specs.; I'm sharing all the deliverables I create for a typical custom residential project in the studio. Constructing a home involves thousands of decisions and the architectural design process is designed to document and catalog those decisions and convey that information to the entire project team: clients, contractors, consultants; anyone responsible for helping us construct our architecture.
Even for a small home, the number of decisions - from foundation to finish - can feel overwhelming. The more you draw + document before construction, the more control you'll have over the finished product. Anything you don't draw or document is simply a decision you're choosing to defer to someone else to make.
The drawings shown here are an in-progress set of documents, I still have stair plans, a finish schedule and interior details to complete. Typically, I'll release two packages of information: a shell package for the exterior shell of the structure and an interiors package. The first helps construction to proceed quickly and once under way, I'll develop the interior design, finishes and details with the client completing those during the early phases of construction. Also not shown are my consultant's drawings, which - for this project - consists of a set of structural engineering drawings.

Of course, this was way more interesting and alot more educational video. Never missed any updates, loved the details. And as a Civil Engineer I understand how much it's important to keep an eye on every details comprising and meeting to the drawing. Thanks for this video.
All from INDIA 🇮🇳
Thanks, amazing content as always Eric.
Hi Eric -
As always, great video. I recently purchased your drawing templates for AutoCAD and I have a quick technical question. In min 1:00 - 1:04, I see that you are adjusting the line weights on paper space; and the lines are showing as black lines regardless of the layer that they are on. How did you achieve that?
Thanks!
Hi, Denis...that was actually in ModelSpace...if you watch the "Minimalist UI (my settings)" video comes with the template purchase you'll see exactly how to set it up.
My best wishes of good health and joy to you.
Many thanks for sharing this super concise, overview video about your systems used for an Architectural drawing set.
Loved the freefalling snow snippets.
Kind regards

my man you are teaching a whole generation of young architects things they were never taught in school..respect!
cheers mate...

So true!
@@JT-tm5vj so true
@@30by40 realy true
I have not been told any of these things at school. Like most of everything is just thrown at us. I take the initiative to learn more myself but i see i still have a lot to learn. You just made me feel like my school teaching is crap
I am in love with these details. It seems everyone is showing renders and nobody is showing such beautifully detailed drawings, with line thickness, shading/shadow accents, callouts etc. Thank you!
And the red!!! 🟥
As a young architect, I can say that these things are learned painfully with the first projects. Your concern for teaching, the quality of your videos and the love in each of the videos is really appreciated. Greetings from Chile!
Always a great day when a new 30x40 video pops up in the notifications.
Thanks Chris...appreciate that!
I’m an architect with 15 years built work experience in UK. What I would like to point out to all the student architects watching this is the language of communication of architecture is universal. I wasn’t taught how to compile a construction tender package at university. This is only knowledge gained through years of practical experience. Hats off to Eric for a beautiful set of drawings
This should be a MASTER CLASS, my 2 years of watching your videos is like a compact 5 year architectural course.
True antie
You're very correct 😀
yo fr. I wouldn't even get this much of additional knowledge from school that I paid for. LMAO, bless the internet, and bless this chanell.
I've been doing this for 36 years. Your work is so well thought out and so clear. I'm actually rethinking some of my conventions. Thank you for taking the time.

As a commercial subcontractor who does material take-offs for bids, your plans are a dream come true. In reality less than 5% of the documents I see ever come close to your level. When plans are vague our proposals are naturally inflated to cover worse case scenarios. Clear and precise documents may cost more up front but clarity makes the building process so much more enjoyable for contractors to work together to easily and competitively build what was designed. I hope some of those less than thorough architects take note of your channel and learn to elevate their work! Thanks for your channel, it's always inspiring.
Amazing!! such level of detail.
Since 2016, my first year in Architecture school, I’ve been watching your videos. Its been four years and and and you’re still so far away. Well, we are decades apart anyway it is expected 😅😅.
But I’m not giving up yet. My dream is to be like you, even more if possible. I hope you’ll be always there to inspire me and all who are watching🙂.
All the best👍
cheers mate...keep making things...that's how this works!
"I hope this was helpful" the man said.... This is HUGE! Thanks a lot!!
You're selective use of line weight is really amazing.
This is my favorite video you have ever made. In architecture we see so many details and drawings but typically with no context of how they fit with the whole set. The topic of construction drawings intrigues me so much because this is the critical step that translates design to reality.
As an engineer i really respect the control mechanisms you architects use to manage projects and details.
thanks for the awesome video as always Eric!
Great example of what a well worked through set of architectural drawings should comprise of.
I really love the color palette! Thanks for going into detail about all the drawings required for transferring a concept to a built project. As a student, I really needed this. Thanks for sharing Eric!
So thankful to have your content to learn from and aspire to. Thank you so much!
Thanks! I'm always watching your videos! Thanks for sharing your experience, thoughts, etc.
Forever grateful of your generosity in sharing your knowledge. What a joy!
Gorgeous set, love the use of color to differentiate between architecture and annotations. Can't wait to see this house come up.
You’re a mind reader! This is exactly what I needed.
Thank you for sharing this with us Eric! I always love to see your take on the profession, and learn so much from your videos. As an entrepreneur who's been in business for less than a year, your books and videos have been invaluable in helping me succeed. Keep up the great work!
Amazing video, great to see your process and the amount of thought you give to your projects. Hats off, great work!!
Nice set of drawings Eric, I always love seeing CD's from other architects and the differences with how I do things. Always something to learn or at least consider an alternative method of presenting the information.
Love you eric all these videos keep me motivated to keep track on my project you still be my favourite architect
That's definitely an unprecedented level of designing, the attention to the nano scale of thinking is jaw-dropping. If I could I'd hire Sir Eric to design my house and in the end, would use his architectural drawings as a piece of art to decorate the house. Congrats master!
Thanks for taking the time to produce sure beautiful work..Your passion and love for what you do truly come through..MUCH THANKS from St. Lucia
Can’t thank you enough for sharing this awesome videos with us!
I am not an architect but the aesthetic of this channel makes it enjoyable and accessible for everyone
Always nice to see how others work. Great content as always. This is BIM. Coordination at the higgest level.
Thanks for sharing your works. It always inspires me to do anything precisely.
I have been a formally trained Architect since 1998 but, at some point, life set me out on different paths. Including working for "others", so I do get where you come from when you commented on that in the Photography podcast. I am now reclaiming my design vocation (also on an island, but in Canada) and your videos have been nothing less than therapeutic to me. Please keep bringing them. Thank you, Eric!
i love your use of the modular man for your scale models. also really digging the floor plans in which you omit the wall area altogether. ive never seen that before
I love how you use the lines thickness to layer your elevations and give a feeling of depth, that's something that a teacher thought me while drawing the façade of the modern art museum of Algiers during my 3rd year in architecture school ! still using this technic on elevations and mass plans with Revit to this day.
Seeing your work is pushing me to go through with architecture. I am an interior designer/decorator, but architecture completes the start to finish package. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Always an eye opener in so many ways. Thank you.
YOUR DELIVERY AND PLANS ARE INCREDIBLE ERIC. THE THOUGHT AND TIME INVESTED IS HONESTLY AMAZING - THANK YOU
You're inspiring me a lot, thanks, hope to see more wonderful things from your work
beautiful set of drawings Eric! So succinct, clear and well co-ordinated! Looking forward to see this go to site!
I am still in high school, but I am planning on going to Iowa State for architecture school, and your videos are so inspiring. I love the quality of the video and photography too. Can't wait to see the finished Outpost project!
I am not even an architect but i LOVE the concepts of the work you do, the way how you put things out and that all builds a long run trust from the clients, Im sure. thanks!!!
This video was incredibly helpful and I find it to be so much more valuable than some entire courses in school. Please continue making these videos. We all appreciate them. I really enjoy the tidbits on pro practice and what to expect in the real world. Great job!
your graphics sense is impeccable, man! best drawings I have seen so far. Respect!
It always blows my mind how professional your work is..... And the drafting is so amazing that I can't stop being amazed by looking at it....
If I can be one day half the architect that you are I can die happy for sure
This is phenomenal work. I am just starting into the custom house market and what you provide your clients is the definition of what I wish to provide my clients. I just want to say thank you for showing me what is possible and guiding me to produce more clear and organized drawings.
HNY Eric, another on point video I’m currently renovating my home (making videos of-course, your going to see allot more of me this year)! All the builders and contractors have thanked me for the OCD approach, this has helped saved time and money on the project the contractors know exactly what they getting into ahead of time so we mostly discuss timing co-ordination with other trades. Thank you for the inspiration to keep going and I’ll let you know when I go online this week!!!
Superb design of the Spec Sheets. Love all the text in color too. You’re an inspiration Eric!
Thank you for this. You surely have the best architecture graphic style I've seen. 🙏🏾
The best!!! Thank you so much for sharing this!
Thank you for sharing!!
THE best videos on this channel. Thank you!
Thanks for being a great architect ......I'm really repecting your work and thinking in architecture ....very neat and professionally appreciated .....I'm learning a lot from your videos and love it .
Love your designs and the way you present them.
Great summary of the organization, function and value of architectural drawings. I especially appreciated your explanation of the role of schedules and specifications. Thank you for sharing your commitment to our profession!
I don't know anything about architecture but I love watching your videos.
Omg I started clapping after watching your video great work sir. I will definitely try to work like this. AWESOME!!
The best example of an architect. You are doing a great job!!
This is pure gold for anyone who doesn't understand what a real set of plans looks like...and why providing that value costs so much. Thank you for sharing! Awesome job as usual.
Awesome set of architectural drawings. Inspiring to see the level of detail and effort put into a project like this. Great work Eric 🤘
As a landscape contractor / designer, I find all of your videos to be very helpful and informative. While I am not an architect, or even a landscape architect, the process, information, and attention to all the details is top notch. As I work to transition to the next step in my career, I feel fortunate to have this educational resource to draw on. Many thanks.
Your ability to organize large amounts of information and present it beautifully and with extreme clarity is incredible. Love your videos as always! Cheers, Tim.
Thanks Tim...super generous of you...appreciate that!
Love your videos Eric, please keep it up as they are greatly appreciated. They are so well done, competes with any marketing company doing them for their clients, trust me I know. You are a natural teacher and mentor leading the way in education on the new frontier. Would have loved to have you as a prof in my younger years. But this way you are reaching a greater audience. I am adding you to my list of consultants on our future projects. Cheers Eric.
Thanx for sharing your detail design process. Being aerospace products designer even I learned lot of stuff from your work.
I can guarantee you that I could learn more with a course given by you than in university experience man. Thanks for this content because you are talented man. Keep up and I’ve been following you for over 3 years now I’m happy for his growth on the channel. Just want to say Thanks You and Happy new year
You are such an inspiration and a master, greetings from an archi student who wants to be a little bit better everyday, and u help a ton with that.
Great work Eric your set of plans looks great love the level of detailing you put in and relation between drawings and specifications is amazing even for a house of this size! Keep up the great work and exceptional videos! Thank you.
Great video as always, Keeping us motivated and inspired!!!
My respects. I admire your professionalism, i learn so much from each one of your videos.
FANTASTIC!! This is the video i've been waiting for!
I am an MEP Engineer and these videos help me to understand how architects think and helps me think of how I can work with them in integrating engineering systems into the architecture.
Great videos !!!!
This is better than most of the lessons i've taken at school! Thank you so much...❤ From Mozambique 🇲🇿
I have only recently understood the extent of your generosity after following the series of topical videos you published as far back as eight years ago. Despite personally having no ambitions to become an architect, your content has been of huge value and inspiration towards planning a future house I intend to build.
I just wanted to thank you for your amazing work and teaching abilities.
Hi i'm a third year architecture student from portugal, i love your videos, they are very inspirational and i always learn so much... thank you 4 everything 😊
Thank you! A brilliantly made video!
Those kind of videos are really helpful, thank you!
Eric - excellent video. In defence of the level of detail you use - getting it 'right first time' for the client is what matters. Raises the contractors game too!
As Always... a very informative video on how you organize your architectural documents. I have watched this video and your other videos a couple of times. Your work is much loved and appreciated. Thanks for sharing
Very similar to the way we do it in my country. I had to get used to all this all at once right after college, since I had the opportunity to work on somewhat large projects since I started working.
Welcome back my best architect for me.
thanks for sticking with me...
\m/
As an architect, you have deep control of all the different aspects of your project, no decision is made haphazardly, that's really admirable!
Thanks for sharing your experience
Top top top top top top top information.
Bless you🙏🏾🙏🏾
Fantastic! Thank you for sharing this knowledge with everybody out there. This video is damn well produced and your way to present to us its definitely inspiration to the Life. I will absolutely follow and watch all your videos. Thanks and Cheers :)
Thank you for sharing this video. As an architect that never practiced, I have found your video very helpful for me.
In my country, the market is very different and very small for studies so detailed like what you do. But it would give an architect an edge over the competition. This is why I am going to follow your steps and learn from them, ingest them and transform them a bit to make them become my own. Thank you . Whatching fervently from Haiti.
This was very informative. I struggle with the balance of what to show on a specific drawing and this layering system makes total sense. Everything is so well organized - its a pleasure to watch and learn. Thank you!
Thank you for your sharing!I like it!
Your documentation is so clear and goregeous ! Very greatful for all your videos man, great content and very didactic
I’ve always wanted to be an architect and going back to school is expensive. You’re helping me cultivate my dream for generating a better World. Thank you!
You are such an inspiration
Thank you
Excellent as usual. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for such quality videos like this, sir. This gives us young architecture students great advices and realizations from you, thank you! Greetings from Philippines.
Wow. Your videos make me so excited, they make me want to work more!
Coming from a small design build company we've never really followed the standard masterformat, we have a loosely similar format for contract docs though not as detailed as that, and then just provide more drawing details to the site as the construction goes lol.. so you can imagine the constant client approvals for the actual drawings.. I've already left that office but I wish we knew this back then..
Thank you thank you please keep making these videos
Just simply marvelous
*YOU ARE SO SO SO GIFTED LIKE I COME TO THIS CHANNEL WITH A PROBLEM AT HAND AND I LEAVE WITH THE BEST SOLUTIONS... THANK YOU*
I appreciate this content! Lots of learning, information and helpful tips in layouting drawing documents, specifications and printstruments techniques.
This topic is actually my weakness concern when making drawings. Thanks a lot!
I’ve learnt so much from this channel! This man is a legend
I always love the content you put out. Good video as usual. My sets usually include cover page, general notes, site plan, floor plan, elevations, sections, architectural details, architectural roof plan, electrical plan, foundation plan, roof framing plan, shearwall layout, fire sprinkler plan, and as of this year solar panel drawings.
Respect...solar panel drawings, absolutely! I deferred that decision to the installer once...now I show them on the roof plan. Thanks for watching...cheers...
Hi Erick! Congraculations for your great work once again. God's blesses
A draftsman surprising architects with what I learned from you. Detailing everything thing. Breaking that thought in the industry that everyone knows what is to be done and that it's not necessary to do everything.
