A title Block is common information about the drawing arranged systematically in a title block. Title blocks in a set of drawings always appear in the same place on a sheet. The three most common locations for blocks are shown in figure 7. They can also have pre printed title blocks. The title blocks for paper sizes A0 to A3 should be situated in the bottom of the sheet and extend to the lower right-hand corner of the frame. Only sheets positioned horizontally (landscape) are permitted for these formats. For A4 size paper the title block may be situated as above (A0 to A3) or can be situated in the shorter (lower) part of the drawing space. Only sheets positioned vertically (portrait) are allowed for this format. The direction of reading of the drawings is equal to that of the title block
Title block should contain information about a project, such as
- Project name and address
- Company name and address
- Sheet title & number
- Scale, date, project number
- Drafter’s name, checker’s name
- A place for a licensing stamp
- A list of revisions
- Key plan
- Legend
- Name of the design firm doing the job This should be in a larger, bolder text and include a logo if possible and address, telephone, web address, e-mail, etc.
- Name of the major design consultants List civil, structural, mechanical, electrical engineers and other consultants. Include contact information.
- Space for professional stamp or seal Depending upon the type and scope of the project, this may be required.
- Revisions Leave space for at least six entries, a name and date.
- Key plan A small scale plan of the building footprint with the part of the building identified that relates to the drawings on the sheet. This is not always necessary on smaller projects.
- Name of the project List the project title, location information and client/owner name if applicable.
- Client approval Client signature indicates approval of the document, as they are currently presented.
- Project or job number, date and credits (designer / firm's name) some projects are divided into phases with an individual job number for each phase. Typically this is done when a project is developed over a long span of time or if it is complex.
- Sheet title The page title is usually short and specifically states the drawing(s) on that page (e.g. floor plan or details, etc.). Below title, state the scale of the drawing.
- Sheet number There is usually a letter and a number, (e.g. T1 for title page, A1 for architectural drawings, or E1 for electrical). Most of the drawings you will do are architectural and should be numbered consecutively A1, A2¼
