House plans are actually considered as a blue-print of your dream home. It shows us how the actual house will look like in future. Also called as house plans, home plansandapartment plans, these plans are used to create a house, an office block or an industrial complex. This is a drawing, that shows the construction layout, can be drawn by a professional (architect). The plan helps in showing the layout of the house, which includes the size, floor plans and proportions of the rooms, positions of doors and windows, also it shows where fire doors will be fitted and where fire detection and alarm equipment will be positioned.
A person who is going for a house plan needs to know some important things. First of all, in order to license the house or the property, the respective Council has to get some details from the owners about the property. This helps the council to assess the type of house and the facilities and other installations they will have. The second thing is always looking for a rough sketch for our plan. These drawings will be useful in future for reference. Also as an architect these can be used to educate our client on present and future home plan designs ideas and also to convince the clients about apartment designs.
Thirdly, we need to walk around the property or field before making the drawing. And during this walk we have to make some notes of the place and also note the dimensions of the ground. This helps us to make the most appropriate plan for the place. Next step is to make sure that the scale that we are using allows us to fit the floor on one single page or sheet. Sometimes we have a house plan which consists of a house with number of floors, and the 1st floor can be copied from the ground floor because they are far similar. Then erase bits of wall that are not supposed to be there, and some door entrance and across bays. If we had used pencil in our sketch, it is time to take a ruler and a pen to make it permanent.
And finally we have to state whether the detectors within the house are interlinked or not. If they are interlinked and a fire is detected by one detector, all the sound elements in the house will be triggered. The drawings provide a basis for budgeting and scheduling of the project before the construction process begins.
