Red-lining blueprints
This is, by far, the most common way that changes are made. It is also the
simplest and least expensive. Although our industry uses the word "blueprints",
this is a holdover from days past. All the plans used today for construction
are printed on white paper with black or blue line lettering. Because of this
fact, notations are easily made on these prints. They can be made by pen, pencil
or a red line pencil, which stands out clearly, — hence the term "red-lining".
Red-lining is not suitable for major changes, but is suitable for the vast
majority of changes, such as:
-
shifting of interior partitions that have no effect on structural spans
-
extending a wing of a house lengthwise that has no effect on structural spans
-
material changes, specifications, fixtures, cabinet layouts, contract
provisions, etc.
-
shifting, adding or changing windows or doors
-
addition/deletion of fireplaces, garages, false dormers, raised/dropped
ceilings, etc.
