What is a construction document?

A construction document is a set of detailed drawings, specifications, and instructions that detail the construction and design of a building or structure. They serve as a reference document for architects, engineers, contractors, and builders during the construction process. The construction documents typically include floor plans, elevations, construction details, electrical and mechanical systems, and material or product specifications. They provide the necessary information for contractors to estimate the cost of construction, order materials, and carry out the work according to the designer's intent.
