Our standards

CADD standards

For all construction projects, you must submit drawings detailing all work to be completed. Use Adobe PDF files for all sheet drawings and CADD data to produce the plans.

Before your design team starts their work, review our CADD Standard Guide (PDF, 446 KB) to ensure all submission requirements are understood and your drawings and data will be in an acceptable format for turn-over.

If you have any questions about the our CADD standards, contact the Engineering Data unit at engdata@gtaa.com.
