|
When properly specified and executed, the preconstruction performance mockup of an enclosure assembly can offer several benefits to any project. Most notably, the mockup provides project teams the opportunity to observe, evaluate, and refine the design, fabrication, and installation sequencing of the enclosure assemblies and corresponding interface conditions.

| DRAWING SEQUENCE FOR A VERY LARGE PROJECT |
| I am currently working on an extensive education project coordinating the architectural drawings. The project includes the remodeling of eight different buildings, some of which are two-story. I am familiar with the two different drawing sequence methods, and I am trying to follow the NCS method. I was wondering, from an architecture and contractor perspective, if there are recommended methods for identifying the building numbers in the sheet sequence number. Is it recommended to group the different sheets by buildings, like mini-sets within a big set? I am trying to find a good logical way to organize the sheets where the building numbers are identifiable at a glance if possible. I appreciate any insight and recommendations and thank you in advance.
