I’m preparing a set of elevation drawings for a condo. My boss said to use 1:50 as the scale but I’m seeing other people use 1:100 as their scale.

Wondering if there’s an industry standard or if it’s just up to the individual architect?

We typically see 1:100 or 1:200 used for overall elevations and than blow ups done at 1:50 or 1:25 scale.
