Technical drawings are created for a variety of different products, and you will probably come across technical drawings at many different stages through any building work you undertake. Often, technical drawings are created by an architect or structural engineer when planning a conversion or extension. These technical drawings are usually produced for the building contractor, and will feature specifications for the types of material used for specific aspects of the build as well as the methods of construction to be undertaken. Technical drawings also provide proportions for a variety of areas of the building, like roof heights and floor plans.
Technical drawings can be either 2D or 3D depending on the information that needs to be presented in the plans. They could 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.

Acton is a district inside the London Borough of Ealing in west London. It’s 6.1 miles west of Charing Cross. At the 2011 census, Acton had a population of 62,480 – a ten year increase of 8,791 inhabitants.
Acton means ‘oak farm’ or ”farm by oak trees’, and derives from old English. It was initially an ancient village, and as London expanded it was absorbed in to the city. Since 1965, Acton has been part of the east of Ealing, but some areas of East Acton are in the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham and a small section of South Acton is within the London Borough of Hounslow. Acton is one of the areas with the most stations bearing their name anywhere within the country, with seven stations including its name.
Central Acton is known as the hub of commerce and retail on the former principal road between London and Oxford, referred to as the Uxbridge Road. The main road includes lots of inns, which go as far back to the late Tudor period as stopping places for travellers. Today, the A40 dual carriageway is the principal route from London to Oxford, and it bypasses central Acton. It still passes by way of East Acton and North Acton.
Acton is home to the biggest housing estate in West London, named the South Acton estate, with approximately 2,000 properties and 5,800 residents. The region is currently in phase 2 of a major 15-year phased regeneration which involves almost complete demolition of the current residential units and also the building of brand new and more residences. This is likely to increase its population additionally.
