Standard drawings (UMS)

The standard drawings (ums drawings) show construction layouts and details of infrastructure assets that are acceptable to Brisbane City Council.

Standard UMS Drawings must be referenced (by quoting the drawing number and revision version) or physically included in tender and contract documents for:

• work to be constructed for Council
• work in a development to be contributed to Council
• work on an asset owned by Council

Standard ums drawings are broken into 10 categories. From the drop-down lists below, you can download the specific drawing that you need.
