Outline of Architecture - Architectural Practice

Architectural Practice

• Architectural drawing – or architect's drawing is a technical drawing of a building (or building project) that falls within the definition of architecture.
• Architectural plan – a plan for architecture, and the documentation of written and graphic descriptions of the architectural elements of a building project including sketches, drawings and details.
• Blueprint – a type of paper-based reproduction usually of a technical drawing, documenting an architecture or an engineering design.
• Building code – or building control, is a set of rules that specify the minimum acceptable level of safety for constructed objects such as buildings and nonbuilding structures.
• Cost overrun – also known as a cost increase or budget overrun, is an unexpected cost incurred in excess of a budgeted amount due to an under-estimation of the actual cost during budgeting.
