I used to think all my section views needed to be on the same sheet as the main plan
An old timer at a firm I worked for in Austin told me my drawings were too cluttered and it was making the builders call us with dumb questions. He said, 'Kid, a section is a story, give it its own page.' I started putting detailed sections on separate sheets about six months ago. Now my main sheets are cleaner, and the detail sheets have room for clear notes and dimensions. Has anyone else moved to this method and seen fewer RFIs?

My buddy in Denver had the same issue with his kitchen remodel plans. His RFIs dropped by half after he gave each section its own sheet.

Totally agree, that trick works every time. I saw the same thing on a bathroom job last month where the plumbing and electrical were all mashed together. Splitting them up made it so much easier for the guys on site to find what they needed. It just cuts down on the confusion right from the start. They aren't digging through one crowded page trying to figure out which note goes with what. Makes everything run smoother, lol.

Yeah, that old timer was right on the money. Like @nancy_hernandez said, it cuts the confusion right from the start. Giving each section its own space just makes the whole story easier to read.
