 Lecture Contents

(CO i) Understand the site plan and information

The site programme is an architectural plan of proposed improvements to a given lot. A site plan usually shows a edifice footprint, travel ways, parking, and landscaping and garden elements (Department of Building and Development Land Evolution, 2009).
It shows a site Plan example by Lochaber Centre Site Plan.

A site plan is a "set of construction drawings that a building or contractor uses to make improvements to the property. Counties tin can use the site plan to verify that development codes are being met and every bit a historical resource. Site plans are often prepared by a design consultant who must be either a licensed engineer, architect, landscape architect, or country surveyor" (Chesterfield County, 2009).

A site programme is a meridian view of a property that is drawn to scale. A site plan tin can show

  • Property lines
