construction blueprints
Architectural design drawings
Construction blueprints are detailed technical drawings showing how a building or structure is to be built—floor plans, elevations, cross-sections, and specifications for materials and systems.
Historically printed in white lines on blue paper (hence the name), they now typically appear as digital files or black-on-white prints.
The contractor reviewed the blueprints before breaking ground.
