Technical drawings are created for a range of different products, and you may encounter technical drawings at a variety of stages through any building work you undertake. Usually, technical drawings are created by an architect or structural engineer when planning a conversion or extension. These technical drawings are usually produced for the construction contractor, and will contain specifications for the types of material utilised for specific elements of the build as well as the techniques of construction to be undertaken. Technical drawings also feature measurements for a variety of aspects of the building, including roof heights and floor plans.
Technical drawings can be either 2D or 3D depending on the information that is required to be conveyed in the plans. They could be generated either by hand or by using computer aided design, although the majority of technical drawings are produced and delivered digitally as the computer aided design software offers precision measurements.

The London Borough of Hackney is a north east London Borough inside Inner London in the UK. Southern and eastern parts of the borough are popularly, but unofficially, regarded as being part of east London, with northern and western locations regarded to belong to north London. The London Plan, issued by the Greater London Authority, assigns whole boroughs to sub-regions for statutory monitoring, engagement and resource allocation purposes. The latest 2011 iteration of this strategy assigns Hackney towards the ‘East’ sub-region, while the 2008 and 2004 versions assigned the borough to ‘North’ and ‘East’ sub-regions respectively.
Hackney is bounded by Islington towards the west, Haringey to the north, Waltham Forest to the north-east, Newham towards the east, Tower Hamlets to the south-east plus the City of London towards the south-west. It covers a total area of 7.36 square miles. As outlined by population estimates from 2014, the borough has a permanent population of around 263150 people. A lot of Hackney retains an inner-city character, but in such places as Dalston big housing estates have been joined by newly created gated communities. The historical and administrative heart of Hackney is the area roughly extending north from Mare Street and around the Church of St John-at-Hackney; referred to as Hackney Central.
To the east is the large open space of Hackney Marshes plus the districts of Hackney Wick and Homerton. Light industries inside the area around the River Lea employ more than 3000 personnel. Some of the area was employed for the 2012 Summer Olympics.
