Questions:

My only question is how close we need to stick to the list of drawings above? I would love to condense the plans onto maybe 2 drawings and have at least one sheet showing sections that relate the buildings to the site, as it is of primary importance. Since I have yet to find detailed drawings of the buildings, I’m just not positive that I will be able to find all of the above. Thanks!
