What are formwork and rebar drawings?
Formwork and rebar drawings are drawings that show the positions, sizes, shapes, and technical requirements of sections to describe how to build buildings, factories, industrial factories, etc. It is like maps, providing instructions to the masons during the construction of the project. Based on architectural drawings and statistical calculations in static, the design engineer creates standard drawings that meet customer requirements. This makes it easy for masons to locate materials and saves time, money, and labor for the construction company.
How long does it take for a detailed drawing? How many detailed drawings for a project?
The average time to design a detailed drawing depends on the complexity and scale of the project that the customer requires. Normally, a detailed formwork drawing will take 5-6 days to complete. For simple projects such as residential houses, a detailed formwork drawing will take 2-3 days to complete.
Besides, the number of drawings also depends on the complexity and scale of the project. Large-scale projects can be up to hundreds of detailed drawings. However, on average, a housing project only needs less than a hundred detailed drawings.
Depending on the customer’s requirements and the scale of the project. The larger the project, the more money is invested, the longer the design time and the increased the number of drawings. Design time will be shortened even more if customers use outsourcing services to design drawings.
So, is it necessary to use formwork and rebar drawings in construction? Is it really important? What are its advantages?
Why are formwork and rebar drawings important in the construction industry?
Answering the questions: How high should the floors be? How thick should the walls be? Where are recesses for building services or similar necessary? There are several advantages.
- Firstly, the masons receive precise instructions on site. This ensures rapid work processes and thus rapid construction progress. Detailed drawings represent the safety of the construction projects. Without good drawings, you will need more workers to complete the task. Moreover, it affects workers due to the lack of suitable working backgrounds.
- Secondly, a good drawing plan doubles the productivity and saves time, money. For example, by leaving the necessary recesses for building services, elevators, or similar installations right at the beginning. Then the construction company does not have to drill and chisel unnecessarily later.
- Lastly, the drawing directly influences the quality. There is a risk of poor overall construction quality because issues such as the improper arrangement of rebar will cause unstressed concrete and cracked structures.
As can be seen, detailing drawings are extremely important for construction projects. And without these drawings, construction would not be possible in many situations. Therefore, it is important to have formwork and rebar plans.
In order to produce accurate formwork and rebar drawings, civil engineers must have sufficient knowledge and experience when deploying drawings according to any standard. This requires a high level of professionalism from them. If you wonder do formwork plan and rebar plan (schalplan and bewehrungsplan) on your own or outsourcing, you can refer to our this blog.

However, based on what drawing elements to determine for sure which are standard formwork and rebar drawings?
How to determine standard formwork and rebar drawings?
Engineering
Ensure engineering requirements. Engineering requirements are the most prerequisite factor in a detailed drawing. This is demonstrated through the design engineer’s reading comprehension and static instruction. For a detailed drawing, the figures must be calculated and shown accurately. Because it directly affects the safety of construction works. Therefore, care, precision, and strict control are required during the design process. This is the most important requirement that determines the success of the project.
Design
Ensure design requirements. During the design process, sections must be designed based on architectural drawings and following specified industry standards. If any standard error in the part exists, the engineer must defer to the design and immediately contact the customer to correct the static calculation. For instance, if the foundation thickness exceeds the industry standard, it must be adjusted immediately. Continuing the design leading to improper construction, causing a loss of time and money for edit.
Layout
Ensure layout requirements. Show clearly and reasonably the details of the size, shape, position,… of the sections. The detailed layout of the drawings shows the professionalism and experience of the engineer. On a drawing, there are many details to focus on. However, it will cause embarrassment and confusion for the masons if these details are not arranged clearly and logically. As a result, both the construction company and the engineer have to explain and edit the drawings many times. To do so, the engineer who designs the drawing must fully note down the details according to a common standard in a concise and easy to understand manner.
