There are following types of drawings

  Submission Drawings

An aSubmission drawing or architectural drawing is a technical drawing of a building (or any project) that falls within the definition of Design or architecture Design. Submission drawings are used by architects, Site Engineers or Supervisors and others for a number of purposes: to develop a design idea into a coherent proposal, to communicate ideas and concepts, to convince clients of the merits of a design, to enable a contractor to construct it, as a record of the completed work, and to make a record of a building that already exists.

 Working Drawings 

Drawing that is subject to clarifications but is complete with enough plan and section views (with dimensions, details, and notes) to enable the depicted item's construction or replication without additional information.

Structural Drawing

A structural drawing, a type of Engineering drawing, is a plan or set of plans for how a building or other structure will be built. Structural drawings are generally prepared by registered professional structural engineers, and informed by architectural drawings. They are primarily concerned with the load-carrying members of a structure. They outline the size and types of materials to be used, as well as the general demands for connections. They do not address architectural details like surface finishes, partition walls, or mechanical systems. The structural drawings communicate the design of the building's structure to the building authority to review. They are also become part of the contract documents which guide contractors in detailing, fabricating, and installing parts of the structure.

 Shop Drawings

A shop drawing is a drawing or set of drawings produced by the   contractor, supplier, manufacturer, subcontractor, or fabricator. Shop drawings are typically required for prefabricated components. 

As Built Drawings

Revised set of drawing submitted by a contractor upon completion of  a  project or a particular  job .Theyreflectall changes madein the specifications and working drawings during the construction process, and show the exact dimensions, geometry, and location of all elements of the work completed under the contract. Also called record drawings or just as-builts.

I guess that is all depending on the industry you have in addition to Mr. Alex Al Yazouri and Muhannad Shakeel's answers, AS_Build, Assembly, Parts, utility, (electrical, water, storm drains, sure..) red line or dangerous zones; KFB (flow charts for gov) and RIF (flow charts for manufacturing areas like pipes and vessels for the pharma industry;

It all depends if you work in civil engineering, mechanical drafting, architectural, industrial planning .... each field has additional plans, drawings ....

Cover Sheet

The cover sheet lists the project name, drawing index, building permit information, key plan, and general notes. Names of all consultants and their contact information should be included, along with the facility manager in charge.

Second Cover Sheet

The second cover sheet indicates partition types in a given section, the finish schedule and legend (if a finish plan is not required), door type elevations, door schedule, and hardware groups.

Demolition Plan

The demolition plan delineates all partitions, doors, and power/communications outlets to be demolished.

Architectural Partition Plan

This document indicates the placement and type of all new partitions and doors as well as existing partitions and doors to remain. Critical dimensions determining partition locations and door numbers referenced back to the door schedule will also be included on this sheet. These are identified as A-1, A-2, etc.

Power and Communications Plan

This plan indicates the location, height, and orientation of all new power, telephone, and communications outlets, as well as existing outlets to remain.

Reflected Ceiling Plan

The reflected ceiling plan graphically shows the ceiling treatment, ceiling grid, and the placement of all new light fixtures and those light fixtures to be removed and relocated. A light fixture legend and switch locations are also included on this sheet.

Millwork and Special Construction Sheets

The millwork and special construction sheets document all approved special architectural construction items. The elevation sheet keys in all sections and details. The section and detail sheets indicate the special architectural items in large scale.

Finish Plan

This document graphically indicates the locations of all new wall and floor finishes. A finish legend is typically included on this drawing to key in all finish specifications.

Mechanical, electrical, and plumbing engineering design and documents are usually fast tracked with the architectural documents so that both the architectural and engineering documents are completed at the same time. In this context, mechanical refers to HVAC systems. Sometimes the term mechanical refers to HVAC, electrical, and plumbing drawings. Be sure to determine how the term is being used. The engineering documents usually consist of the following drawings:

Electrical Cover Sheet

The electrical cover sheet indicates all electrical specs, notes, and panel schedules. This sheet includes the specification of supplemental electrical panels, if required. Electrical plans are numbered as E-1, E-2, E-3, etc.

Power, Data, and Telephone Plan

This document indicates all outlets and circuiting, the electrical distribution system, riser location, routing of service, design voltage, amperage, and transformer size and location.

Electrical/Lighting Plan

This document indicates all lighting fixtures, outlets, switches, and circuiting.

Mechanical Cover Sheet

The mechanical cover sheet indicates all mechanical notes, legends, and details, including a partial plumbing plan and plumbing riser diagram.

Mechanical Plan

The mechanical plan specifies the design of, or all modifications to, the existing mechanical system, ductwork layout and dimensions, mechanical equipment location, damper locations, design air delivery rates, diffuser locations, thermostat locations, and the specification of supplemental cooling systems, if required. Mechanical plans are normally identified as M-1, M-2, etc.

Plumbing Plan

Plumbing drawings provide all pertinent information on the design of the plumbing system for a project, including line sizes, line location, fixture location, isolation valves, storage tank capacities, hot water heater capacities and locations, and drain locations and routing.

Other Drawings

The size and complexity of the project will determine the number of drawings required to effectively convey the scope of the construction contract. In addition to the drawings noted above, it is not unusual to find other drawings included. If a building is being constructed from scratch, a series of site and landscaping plans will be prepared, including general architectural siting of the building, topography and grading, roadwork, and civil engineering improvements such as site drainage and environmental protection. A typical site or plot plan will depict the positioning of the project on the tract of land on which construction is to take place. Plot plans will also indicate grade elevations (vertical locations of roads, walks, and the ground, relative to a known benchmark or reference point), and locations of underground utilities (electrical, telephone, natural gas lines, etc.).
