Technical Sketch: Foundations

Foundations: Work done on-site in cement or masonry; it supports a structures load and transfers it to the ground, thus providing stability.
Shallow foundations, often called footings, are usually embedded about a meter or so into soil. One common type is the spread footing which consists of strips or pads of concrete (or other materials) which extend below the frost line (depth to which the groundwater in soil is expected to freeze) and transfer the weight from walls and columns to the soil or bedrock. Another common type of shallow foundation is the slabon-grade foundation where the weight of the building is transferred to the soil through a concrete slab placed at the surface. Slab-on-grade foundations can be reinforced mat slabs, which range from 25 cm to several meters thick, depending on the size of the building, or posttensioned slabs, which are typically at least 20 cm for houses, and thicker for heavier structures.

Technical Sketch: Building Frame

Framing: in construction known as light-frame construction, is a building technique based around vertical structural members, usually called studs, which provide a stable frame to which interior and exterior wall coverings are attached, and covered by a roof made of horizontal ceiling joists and sloping rafters (or pre-fabricated roof trusses).

Technical Sketch: Building Frame

This is a basic shell of a building structure. It is made up of vertical studs to give the height of the building and has horizontal timber to provide spaces for the windows and doors. The timber studs are then sitting above a concrete slab.

You could draw it half and half like thishowever your drawing will be better

Technical Sketch: Floor Detail

Once the foundations are in there are several other layers beneath the carpet that we dont see and need to show. These could be: Concrete foundation slab Timber framing Insulation Sub Floor: Timber sheeting on top of and attached to timber framing Then either wood flooring or carpet underlay then carpet.
