General Use Abbreviations

Introduction

For Drawing List Abbreviations (on a documented sheet, click here)

Sometimes, you just need a nice list of acronyms and definitions… something to reference when your Contractor uses a weird abbreviation you’ve never heard and you’ve exhausted your good grace of questions for the day (we’ve been there).

  • This is not an exhaustive list, so please let us know what we can add for others.

Use and Application

These are not really abbreviations to include or use in your documentation set, but more so about what may be used in emails/texts, or perhaps in conversations on site at a weekly OAC meeting (Owner Architect Contractor).

Please reach out if you have suggestions or other items to add for others.

// ARCHOVERFLOW HAS RESET

We rebuilt ArchOverflow from the ground up on our own platform. Articles are back at their same addresses. Old accounts were retired — membership is new, free, and reopening shortly, and everyone signs up fresh. Thanks for your patience while the last pieces land.
