Title Panels

A title panel (sometimes called a title block) is found on all drawings. It identifies which project the drawing is for and also gives some specific information about that particular drawing sheet. The title panel can be found at the bottom or the side (usually the right- hand side) of the drawing sheet.

Where the title panel is located and what it looks like are decided by the drafting or architectural company. They will usually incorporate company styles, colours and logo. Employees creating drawings will be required to follow company procedures by inserting and completing the title block correctly.

On a very large project (such as the Sydney Opera House), there are literally thousands of drawings required and it is a full-time job for a site clerk to ensure that everyone receives up-to-date drawings to work from.

Old, out-of-date drawings should be stamped and stored rather than destroyed, in case there is any dispute at a later date.
