Technical drawings are produced for a wide variety of different products, and you might encounter technical drawings at a number of stages throughout any building work you carry out. Ordinarily, technical drawings are created by an architect or structural engineer when planning a conversion or extension. These technical drawings are typically produced for the construction contractor, and will feature specifications for the types of material used for specific components of the build as well as the methods of construction to be undertaken. Technical drawings also provide measurements for various elements of the building, including roof heights and floor plans.
Technical drawings might be either 2D or 3D depending on the information that must be communicated in the plans. They can be produced either by hand or by using computer aided design, although the majority of technical drawings are generated and delivered digitally as the computer aided design software offers precision measurements.

Abbey Wood is a district in south east London, in the London Boroughs of Greenwich and Bexley. It’s south of Thamesmead and 10.6 miles east of Charing Cross. The district takes its name from Lesnes Abbey Woods, which is to the east, and once belonged to the monks of Lesnes Abbey.
The history of the district dates back to the 12th century, when Richard de Luci, Chief Justiciar of England, founded the Abbey of St Mary and St Thomas the Martyr at Lesnes in 1178. The Abbott of Lesnes Abbey was an important local landlord, and took a main part in draining the marshland. The draining as well as the cost of sustaining river embankments was among the causes for the Abbey’s desperate financial issues. It never became a big community, and in 1525 Cardinal Wolsey closed it under a licence to shut monasteries of fewer than 7 inmates.
Abbey Wood railway station was opened in 1849, immediately to the north of the area now generally known as ‘The Village’, constructed exactly where Knee Hill became Harrow Manorway. The Village had around 12 cottages and 2 pubs – the Abbey Arms and the Harrow Inn. The Harrow Inn, which was demolished in 2009, hosted live bands and was the scene of nightly migration as guests would relocate to the Abbey Arms each evening, as Kentish closing times were 10:30pm whereas the Abbey Arms closed at 11pm.
