Site survey
Walls corner by corner, typed measurements that lock, openings and services, floor by floor, and the plot outside.
DelineoServices setting-out
A sheet the trades can’t misread.
The services sheet sets out every socket, switch and pipe from a datum, with running dimensions and centre heights, numbered S1, S2, S3.
The problem
Services Marked on the Wall With a Pencil
First fix goes in from a scribbled note, and the position is a matter of opinion. Then the units arrive and the socket is behind one.
The answer
Set Out From the Drawing
Each service is dimensioned from a datum, so everyone works from the same figure.
01
Numbered and dimensioned
Every service has a number and is set out from the wall’s datum, with running dimensions and centre heights.
02
Every service, every wall
Sockets, switches, radiators, boilers, pipes and holes through the wall, shown where they belong on the wall.
03
Print it for the trades
Print the services pages as part of a pack, with a title block and scale bar.
04
Holes through the wall
Core holes, air vents and air bricks are shown on the plan and the elevation, with their diameter and centre height, and numbered in the services sheet.
FAQ
Questions.
Who is it for?
Electricians, plumbers, joiners and fitters: anyone who has to put something in the right place on a wall.
Does it set out only the new services?
Print packs can be limited to the work being done, so each sheet shows what the trade needs.
