 A plan is a two dimensional view of a space, such as a room or building. It is a view of the space from above, as if the space was cut through horizontally at the windowsill level. The upper half removed. You are looking down at the floor.
The floor plan will show the locations of walls, partitions, doors, stairs, washrooms, furniture, dimensions, etc. When too much information is shown on one plan it becomes confusing. So often several plans are used for one project. For example: Demolition Plan, Partition Plan, Fixture Plan, Floor Finish Plan and so on.
Plans are drawn to scale. This means that the plan is measured down proportionately to a size that will fit on a drawing sheet. A common scale is one quarter of an inch is equal to one foot (scale: ¼” = 1’-0”). The plan will be titled with the scale noted below.
