Different types of architectural plans
In this section, we present the types of architectural plans that our company produces. Each type of plan plays a crucial role in the design and construction process, providing specific information needed at different stages of a project.
Floor Plan
A floor plan is a horizontal sectional view of the interior of a building, generally at a height of around 1.20 metres from the ground. This type of plan shows the layout of rooms, walls, doors, windows and fixed elements such as staircases and chimneys. It is essential for understanding the circulation inside the building and planning the interior layout.
Section plan
The section plan, also known as a cross-section, provides a vertical sectional view through the building. It shows the inside of walls, storeys, ceiling heights and structural elements such as foundations and roofs. This type of plan is crucial for visualising the internal structure and the vertical relationships between the different levels of the building.
Facade plan
Facade plans represent the external appearance of each side of the building. They show architectural details, cladding materials, openings such as doors and windows, and decorative elements. Facade plans are essential for assessing the aesthetics of the building and its integration into the existing environment.
Location map
A site plan places the building in its geographical context, showing its position in relation to property boundaries, neighbouring streets and neighbouring buildings. This type of plan is crucial for administrative procedures, applications for planning permission, and for understanding how the building fits into its environment.
Plan de Masse
The site plan provides an overall view of the site, including the layout of the main building and ancillary structures such as garages, outbuildings, gardens and parking areas. It also shows the topography of the site, access routes and distribution networks (water, electricity, etc.). This type of plan is essential for complex site development projects and for environmental impact studies.
Georeferenced maps
Georeferenced plans incorporate precise geographical coordinates, enabling the building to be located on a map with rigorous accuracy. They are particularly useful for projects requiring coordination with Geographic Information Management (GIS) systems and for precise field surveys. These plans are essential for infrastructure projects, site surveys and regulatory compliance.
We also offer 3D models and BIM (Building Information Modeling) models for advanced visualisation and management of your project.
