Compare mechanical and electrical drawings with architectural drawings. What are differences between them?

What will be an ideal response?


Although mechanical and electrical drawings use site and floor plans similar to architectural drawings, many mechanical and electrical drawings are much more diagrammatic than are architectural drawings. Plumbing riser diagrams, for instance, are not to scale or detail but indicate the plumbing system in a manner consistent with the plumbing craft. Additionally, different symbols and abbreviations are used in mechanical drawings rather than in other parts of the documents. A legend to the symbols is usually included in the mechanical drawings for clarification.
