construction plans

Architectural design documents

Construction plans are detailed technical drawings and specifications showing how a building or structure is to be built.

They include architectural layouts, structural details, electrical systems, plumbing, and other components that contractors and builders follow during construction.

Also called blueprints, though modern plans are rarely printed in blue: The city requires construction plans before issuing a permit.
