One major challenge that most architectural practices face sooner or later is developing a logical and scalable Drawing Numbering System (DNS). A well-designed DNS should accommodate projects ranging from small-scale residential to large and complex institutional projects, which may be staged and spread across various sites. At the same time, it should be relatively easy to understand for all parties involved.

Drawing Numbering System: A Scalable Solution
Our Tailored Solution
After extensive research and testing, we have developed a DNS based on the ‘USNCS’ but adjusted to suit specific Australian requirements. This system allows for a Lower Ground versus Level 1 and accommodates the later introduction of plant and podium levels.Additionally, it is simplified to reduce the overall Drawing Number length (7 digits) for cross-referencing in various markers while retaining the ability to scale to projects of all sizes.
Key Features
- Scalable: Accommodates projects from small-scale residential to large and complex institutional projects.
- Logical: Easy to understand for all parties involved.
- Tailored: Adjusted to suit specific Australian requirements, such as Lower Ground versus Level 1, and the introduction of plant and podium levels.
- Efficient: Reduced overall Drawing Number length (7 digits) for cross-referencing while maintaining scalability.
Our Drawing Numbering System provides a standardized and efficient solution for architectural practices (not only in Australia), ensuring a consistent and scalable approach to managing drawing numbers across projects of varying sizes and complexities.
INFO > Please note, the above DNS has been implemented into our Smart Archicad Template – ready to go.
