Floor Plan

The FLOOR PLAN is the key drawing in a set of project drawings—the drawing that all of the construction personnel look at. Hence the purpose of the floor plan is to show information about the location and type of construction, location of doors, windows, built-in fireplaces, stairs, rooms, and exterior and interior features. Ideally, drawings of floor plans should be drawn to 1/4 in. = 1 ft scale for easy readability. Figure 2-6 represents a drawing of a first floor plan and first floor framing plan.
