Structural drawings and details play a crucial role in the construction of a building. They provide comprehensive information about the design, dimensions, materials, and connections of the structural elements, enabling contractors, engineers, and other professionals to accurately construct the building. Here are some common types of structural drawings and details you may find in a building project:
