A floor is an overview of the entire house showing the sizes of the rooms, where the windows and doors are , will also include drawings for finishes or furniture. Elevations are drawn to scale and include rear, front and side elevations. All the details that are necessary for the architectural styling are specified, such as: the positioning of the final fall of the land, ridge heights, exterior finishes and roof pitches.
