Moving on to sections within our series.
What is the importance of cross sections or sectional views on a plan?
The reason sections are important in regards to the plan. Is because sections contain construction details such as the structures height and the building materials utilised for said structure.
They provide clarity for the contractor in regards to what the architect and client have envisioned. Cross sections also give the structural engineer enough information to form decisive and accurate calculations pertaining to the structural rigidity of your architects design and plan as the client.
One could even state that sections hold the secret sauce to making it all happen.
