The construction documentation (CD) set contains a complete set of drawings and schedules in an order of their occurrence during the construction process. The CD set shifts the focus from design to communicating the developed design and provides all the necessary information for construction in the right order. It helps architects, engineers, builders, contractors, and construction professionals. The contractors require these documents along with the construction schedules and material takeoffs, to successfully complete the design. In layman’s terms, the design is simply translated to a technical language of a contractor. The construction documents are usually prepared during the last stage of the design process. A complete set of construction documentation consists of architectural, structural, MEP, and civil engineering drawings along with all price specifications and obtaining the building permits. Modeling of all these aspects may also be included in the construction documentation set
