Floor plans are drawings to scale of either 1:100 or 1:200 as a view from above showing:
- the position of doors or windows
- relationship to an associated dwelling
- location and purpose of rooms and areas.
Dimensions are usually drawn between the walls to specify room sizes and wall lengths.
Floor plans may also include details of fixtures like sinks and water heaters. They may also have notes for construction to specify finishes, construction methods, or symbols for electrical items.
Alterations to existing buildings should indicate proposed changes to the structure and what is being retained.
