    Colouring of Plans

    Regulation 14(3) of the Building (Administration) Regulations stipulates that


    one copy of every plan submitted for approval should be coloured in order to clearly
    differentiate existing works from proposed new works and one part of any proposed new
    works from other parts.

    2. For consistency in the use of colour, the preferred colours as shown in


    Appendix A should be adopted. For amendments to the approved works, the proposed
    works should be coloured or otherwise identified from the approved works, with identical
    colouring or other means, on all sets of plans submitted to the Buildings Department.

    3. The use of these recommended colours and the differentiation of proposed


    works from existing / approved works on all sets of amendment plans will expedite the
    processing of plans and is therefore clearly in the interests of all parties.

    Notes :

    (a) Ducts, light-wells and lift shafts should be left uncoloured.

    (b) For elevations and the larger plan areas, colouring may be in lighter washes of the
    preferred colours in order to avoid a garish effect e.g. concreted, tiled or plastered
    areas.

    (c) A light colour wash should be used to identify phased development.

    (d) A colour legend or key should be added to all sets of drawings.
