This project is a list and definition of all the technical terms we as drafters may come across. It is a dictionary of Architectural, Structural, Civil, Engineering, Electrical, Mechanical, Plumbing, Building and Construction terms.

Many people have contributed to this project over the years. Please help us in this project by sending your technical definitions to us. We are very interested in added photos of the words described in our dictionary.
