Within this construction office base, the administrator's duties are 90% centred around construction drawings: receiving, printing, stamping, registering, distributing and filing them all. The majority of these drawings will be issued to you by the project architect and engineer. In the first instance, when the piling points and foundations of the building are being marked out by the surveying engineers, the engineer drawings are the most important. However, the architect drawings start to become more prevalent as the actual building gets underway.

As each drawing revision construction offices becomes 'live' it is best to request both hard copies, ie paper copies, as well as electronic PDFs (Adobe portable document formats) of the drawings at the same time. The former always get stamped 'Master Copy' and filed in the filing cabinets and they should not be removed by anyone other than the administrator for viewing. It is important to keep a master copy of every revision issued by the architect and engineer in case drawings need to be reviewed if any contentious points of discussion relating to the drawings arise.
