TYPES OF BLUEPRINTS

  • Blueprints can be broken down into 3 main types: plan, elevation and section.
  • Each provides a specific 2-dimensional view of the construction project.
  • A plan view is a horizontal display of the proposed building project looking down from above.
  • An elevation view is a vertical display of 1 side of the project, from either the north, south, east or west.
