Technical drawings are created for a number of different products, and you will probably come across technical drawings at a variety of stages through any building work you perform. Typically, technical drawings are generated by an architect or structural engineer when planning a conversion or extension. These technical drawings are often produced for the building contractor, and will feature specifications for the types of materials utilised for specific aspects of the build as well as the methods of construction to be undertaken. Technical drawings also feature measurements for numerous elements of the building, including ceiling heights and floor plans.
Technical drawings can also be created for many of the discrete elements which may be bought as part of the project, for example windows and doors. Manufacturers will produce technical drawings for their products to guarantee they can be integrated as easily as possible into building designs. Technical drawings will also commonly need to be submitted to local authorities to receive approval that the planned work conforms to building regulations.

The London Borough of Richmond upon Thames in south-west London, England, forms part of Outer London and is the only London borough on both sides of the River Thames. The borough wasformed in 1965 by the merger of the Municipal Borough of Twickenham from Middlesex with the Municipal Borough of Richmond along with the Municipal Borough of Barnes from Surrey; the new council’s offices were centred at York House in Twickenham. The borough is approximately half parkland, with big areas of London’s open space falling inside the borough boundaries. These consist of Richmond Park, Bushy Park, Kew Gardens, and Hampton Court Park.
There are more than one hundred parks and open spaces inside its boundary and 21 miles (34 km) of river frontage. 140 hectares within the borough are designated as a part of the Metropolitan Green Belt. The predominant other land use is residential use and most organisations inside the boundaries include retail, property improvement and development and skilled services. Some areas of it, which includes Barnes, Richmond, St Margarets, Cambridge Park and Marble Hill, areas of Twickenham and a great deal of East Sheen, compete with Stanmore Hill and Kenley as the highest house-price districts and neighbourhoods of Outer London.
In 2006, research found that, on the quantitative statistical indices used, the borough had the best total well being in London and was within the leading quarter of local authorities nationwide.
