Understanding Residential Plan Drawings: Scale and Measurement Explained.

Residential plans are typically drawn to what scale?

1/4″=1′-0″

Residential plans are typically drawn to a scale of 1/4 inch or 1/8 inch per foot. This means that for every 1/4 inch or 1/8 inch measured on the plan, it represents one foot of actual size in the building. For example, if a wall on the plan is measured at 2 inches, then the actual wall would be 8 feet in length in the building. The scale used depends on the size of the building and the level of detail required in the plan.
