building plans

Architect's design documents

Building plans are detailed architectural drawings that show how a structure is to be constructed.

They include floor layouts, dimensions, materials, and structural elements like foundations, walls, and roofing.

Contractors follow building plans during construction; local authorities review them for code compliance before issuing permits.

The architect submitted the building plans for approval.
