Content requirements:

1st Completeness: All relevant plans must be included, such as site plan, floor plans, sections, elevations, detailed drawings.
2nd Accuracy: Dimensions, materials and constructions must be presented precisely.
3. Clear and understandable: The drawings must be clearly structured and easy to read.
4th Compliance with building regulations: The plans must comply with the provisions of the respective building regulations (e.g. distance areas, building height, roof pitch).
5th Evidence: Additional evidence is often required, such as static calculations, fire protection evidence or sound insulation evidence.
Formal requirements:

1st Scale: The drawings must be prepared at an appropriate scale (e.g. 1:100 for floor plans).
2nd Lettering: All important elements must be clearly labeled.
3. Depiction: The drawings must be prepared according to generally accepted rules of technical drawing.
4th Number of copies: The required number of copies is usually specified in the building regulations.
5th File formats: Some building authorities accept digital plans in certain file formats (e.g. PDF, DWG).
Processing process:

1st Preparation: Collecting all relevant documents (property plan, development plan, etc.).
2nd Creation of the drawings: Preparation of the necessary plans using CAD software.
3. Test: Careful checking of drawings for completeness, accuracy and compliance with legal requirements.
4th Compilation of construction documents: Compilation of all necessary documents (building application, drawings, evidence).
5th Submission: Submission of the complete construction documents to the building authority.

Tips for preparation:

1st Start early: Creating the construction drawings takes time.
2nd Consult a specialist: An architect or civil engineer can assist in preparing the drawings.
3. Observe local regulations: Find out about the specific requirements of your community.
4th digitization: Using CAD software makes it easier to create and modify drawings.

With all of these points, it is important to know that the requirements for construction drawings can change. It is therefore advisable to contact the responsible building authority to find out about the current regulations before starting planning.
