Floor plan checklist
Two pages to keep next to your drawing: 12 checks before you deliver a floor plan, and 12 sizes that have to fit. Free, no sign-up.
12 checks before you deliver
- Every room has a door or an opening.
- Doors swing the right way and do not hit anything.
- Every room shows its windows.
- Every room has a name.
- Every room shows its area, measured on the inside of the walls.
- The attic shows the line where the ceiling is 1.5 metres high.
- The stairs have an arrow pointing up, and the stairwell is not counted as floor.
- Dimensions are readable and do not overlap.
- Every drawing says which floor it is.
- The north arrow is on it.
- Kitchen, toilet, bath, shower and meter cupboard are drawn.
- All floors use the same style and scale.
