So what are these 5 types of architectural drawings?
The site plan
A site plan takes a look at your block of land in it’s entirety. In the drawing, special attention will be paid to how your home sits in the land, and other notable features will be included, like trees and landmarks.
The floor plan
Detailing the layout of your home, a floor plan shows the layout of all of the rooms in your home as well as what can be expected within each room.
Elevations
These are flat drawings of the external walls of your home. Although these are two-dimensional, they reveal all the necessary measurements between the windows, walls and doors. So that your home will look incredible on completion.

These drawings cut your home into vertical sections and reveal the structure of the roof, walls and floors. They can also be used to show the volume of your home.
