Auto cad drawing of 2 story house (must be use given dimensions)

MUST BE OF THESE DIMENSIONS (dimension A 10140 dimension B 9760) (DUE DATE 14th NOV)
1. Aims of assignment
The aim of the AutoCAD assignment is to assess your understanding and ability to create basic digital 2D
floor plans in a Construction context.
2. Introduction
You are expected to develop basic 2D floor plans as part of a drawing set for an initial planning application.
The project is a two-storey detached house. The following constraints apply:
Constraints:
 An external wall thickness of 300mm
 An Internal wall thickness of 105mm.
 A building footprint (overall size), which is unique for each student.
 A minimum of a kitchen/dining space and living room on the ground floor.
 A minimum of 2 bedrooms, and a bathroom on the first floor.
The building footprint for each student will be provided by the lecturer (and be available on the VLE).
Note: The dimensions provided for the footprint must be used as they form part of the grading criteria.
Your habitable rooms must have windows and doors. You must use effective space planning to account for
the specific requirements of each room i.e. bedrooms must be able to fit a bed, kitchen to incorporate
space for storage and appliances etc.
Provision for a staircase must be made in the plans. A typical size for a staircase is:
Length 3.5m x Width 1.2m. This size may be altered to suit your design. You may want to use Metric
Handbook as a starting point in designing your house.
3. Requirements
 Your drawing must have and use all the appropriate layers.
 Your drawing must have dimension annotations.
 Your drawing must contain the relevant text annotations to denote the usage of rooms.
 Your design must have a realistic internal layout. While you will be assessed on your drawing abilities, a
realistic design is considered more professional and presentable. (Adding furniture is optional).
4. Objectives
 To demonstrate the basic skills to operate AutoCAD for design work.
 To be able to draw objects with precision in AutoCAD.
 To be able to edit and modify AutoCAD drawings.
 To be able to annotate and dimension a drawing, in order to provide relevant practical information for
the project.

Assessment and Grading
The assessment will take in to account the following two factors:
 The ability to communicate your design using the relevant CAD software.
 The ability to demonstrate your awareness of good design practices, for example how realistic and
practical your design would be.
Each criteria will be graded based on whether it has been Not Met/Partially Met/Fully Met. You will receive
constructive feedback to help your future development.
