Condominium Orientation
The standard of practice has generally been to show the project boundary and building orientation on Sheet 1, with the plan and profile drawings on subsequent sheets. Most of the problems with orientation deal with the lack of consistency between the sheets.
The second most common problem is how the profile views are described in relation to the building orientation. A “side view”, or “front view” is a 50/50 proposition, unless there is other information shown that would clarify exactly which “side” the profile is being viewed from. The side of the building may not be facing the side lot line of the project.
One suggestion would be to use an architectural section or cross section leader (shown below). Another would be to use a different description.
The orientation and position of the condominium floor plans should be clearly shown on the condominium plat, and make sure that the orientation of the buildings is consistent throughout the set of drawings.
Review
· Is there a North arrow on the drawing, and is it oriented correctly? Is the arrow on subsequent sheets, and is it consistent with the first page?
· The buildings may or may not be parallel to the boundary. Are there any bearings shown on the plan sheets, and do they match (or look relatively correct) to the bearing on the boundary?
· Does the profile seem to match the shape of the building? Would it be appropriate to label the Units? This may clarify the orientation if an architectural section leader is not used, and the description is less than clear.
· If there is more than one floor, is it clear how the first floor fits with the second floor?
