Plans are detailed architectural or engineering drawings that represent a building’s layout, design, and structure. These drawings communicate dimensions, materials, and construction methods to builders and contractors, ensuring a smooth construction or renovation process. Common types of plans include:
- Floor plans: Show the layout of rooms and spaces in a building from a top-down view.
- Reflected ceiling plans: Display the layout of ceiling elements like lights and vents.
- Roof plans: Detail the structure and layout of the roof, including equipment and vents.
- Electrical plans: Map out the wiring, outlets, and electrical systems.
Plans serve as essential guides during construction, renovation, and property management.
