The drawing sizes for construction plans will come in several different formats — with 18” x 24” and 24” x 36” being the most common. But you can also find larger plans at 30” x 42” and 36” x 48”. Larger sizes are necessary for bigger properties. But regardless of the blueprint paper size, the plan will have the following information:
· Exterior elevations
· Floor plans
· Building sections and details
· Roof plan
· General notes
They’ll also have a map of the electrical layout, as well as any suggested locations for fixtures and other elements. But you should be aware that this document is used only as a reference.
