Introduction:

Labeling interior partition wall types is a critical part to any construction documentation set. By using a wall tag/label, it allows you to convey a host of information that would otherwise clutter, increase documentation, or just create confusion in a drawing set. Wall types, documented through details, notes, and schedules; take a good amount of planning to properly utilize.

When developing your own standards, there are limitless approaches you can use. However, we’ve found they can mostly fall within a few different approaches.

Approaches & Comparison

Office Choice; Consistency

Regardless of which style or method you choose, it makes most sense to keep that consistent across all your projects in your office or at the very least across all similar project types. Unless you have a thriving office setup of different studios, where documentation is silo’d for programmatic or security reasons, choosing one of the paths forward allows your office to interchange and swap workers without needing to go through a difficult onboarding process for this specific documentation piece.

Approach A - Simple Wall Types (A, B, C, etc)

Designate each different wall type as they come up with a new nomenclature as you see fit. Most common for small projects and small offices. This approach is the simplest and works well when you don't have time or the need to create complex documentation that may not be adhered to (for local or small GCs).
