In context of building construction mechanical drafting is carried out for heating, ventilation and air-conditioning systems of the building that means nothing else is included in mechanical systems apart from HVAC systems. Mechanical drafting can be effectively explained as the process of developing technical drawings in CAD solutions such as AutoCAD for heating, ventilation and air-conditioning systems of the building. Different kinds of technical drawings are generated for HVAC systems by trained drafters, who possess sufficient knowledge of MEP drafting.
It’s the mechanical engineers who develop detailed design for HVAC systems based on the technical drawings and plans generated by the lead architect of the building which provides them with enormous information about the overall design of the proposed building. Mechanical engineers cannot develop the design for heating, ventilation and air-conditioning systems until and unless they have comprehensive knowledge about architectural design since design of HVAC systems largely depends on architectural framework of the building.
So once mechanical engineers get familiar with architectural design they then start developing high quality design for HVAC systems. Once the design for heating, ventilation and air-conditioning systems is developed by mechanical engineers they then have to generate its basic sketches which are provided to key building professionals including architect for exhibiting the design to them.
After that these sketches along with other specifications are sent to MEP drafters of the service providing company for the purpose of executing mechanical drafting services.
Different kinds of drawings generated during mechanical drafting include:
All the above mentioned types of drawings are really very important for high-end development and installation of heating, ventilation and air-conditioning systems. AutoCAD which is the most widely used 2D drafting software product by Architecture, Engineering and Construction professionals contain sufficient tools which are necessary for the development of mechanical drawings such as assembly drawings and fabrication drawings etc. Mechanical drawings developed in AutoCAD are also very pivotal for BIM modelers when they develop 3D models for mechanical systems.

- Arrangement Drawing
- Assembly Drawing
- Detail Drawing
- Fabrication Drawings
