The Floor Plan is an important document to analyze before you buy a house or flat/apartmentWhen you are on house hunt, you tend to visit new and upcoming properties every other day, may be with your family. During these visits, builders sales team pitch you their project, in which they show you floor plan of the building, which is crucial document. The floor plan can give you the instant view of your probable future home. So, it is very important to analyze and understand the floor plans properly.Generally, we interchange terms- floor plans and layout plans in common conversation, but it is should not be the case as both are different terms. A layout plan will give you the placements of the buildings, open space, gardens, parking etc. on the whole property. It is the plan at a larger scale, on the whole property (whole society, plot or city). A floor plan is a diagram, mostly to the scale, showing a view from above of the relationships between rooms, spaces and other features at one level of the structure.
