fixing calculations, and system-specific design guidance Drawing Coordination • Brief the Draughtsman clearly and thoroughly on each project, providing survey notes, sketches, system layouts, and all information required to produce construction drawings • Review and check all drawings produced by the Draughtsman before issue, ensuring dimensions, details, and annotations are accurate and complete
