CONSTRUCTION DETAILS
Drawings depicting details of damp proof courses, weepholes, lintels, roof ties to
walls, etc. are supplemented by specifications used to translate designs into physical
reality.
Detailing is therefore an important link between good design and quality construction.
The construction details that follow are examples of sound acceptable practice.
