1. What Are the Home Plan Symbols

A home plan is a construction document with a set of schematic drawings about the structure, materials, layout, installation methods, and all other construction specifications of a house. It is also commonly known as the blueprint that gives the builder and the contractor guidelines about the house construction. We use home plan symbols to make these drawings that help the owner get legal permission to build the house. You can give architects and designers a general idea of your home's customized layout and features using home plan symbols.

There are four main documents of a home plan. Every home plan includes a site plan to showcase the property's location and depict a reference to its boundaries. It also comes with a floor plan that illustrates every house detail in a 2D drawing. Home plan symbols make it easier to depict any information related to the construction and design of the house.

Elevation in a home plan specifies ridge heights of the property in its context. You can record the elevations in any aspect to represent them from the front, back, and sides. Some home plans also come with a section that shows how the internal finishes will look. You can get home plan symbols from EdrawMax and easily create your diagram using its unique features.

2. The Types of Home Plan Symbols

A home plan is a set of documents that visually represent the structure, design, material, construction methods, and every small or big detail of the house using 2D drawings. As the home plan covers each house detail, from elevations to internal finishes, various types of home plan symbols are essential to creating a perfect home plan. Here are the commonly used types of home plan symbols.

  • Wall Shell & Structure Symbols
  • Doors and Windows Symbols
  • Table and Chair Symbols
  • Sofas Symbols
  • Appliance Symbols
  • Bathroom Symbols
  • Bedroom Symbols
  • Cabinets and Bookcases
  • Carpet Symbols
  • Kitchen & Dining Room Symbols

2.1 Wall Shell & Structure Symbols

We use wall shell symbols to depict the house structure and specify the position and layout of each wall inside the house. Builders use these symbols to specify the size and design of each room. These symbols create a 2D model that gives us an overview of the house shell.

Good arrangement of office equipment can make a huge difference in the productivity and work volume of the office. With an office layout, you can position the office equipment in a shared space where every employee can easily reach and use the devices they want without wasting time by walking longer distances or waiting for others to finish. Here are some office equipment symbols.

The most typical parts of an office layout are walls. Exterior walls are represented by thicker lines, whereas internal walls are represented by thinner lines. There is sometimes no discernible difference between them. Instead of a single, solid line, outside walls can be represented by a black outline or double lines. If you want to know more about wall shell symbols, just check this guide.

2.2 Doors and Windows Symbols

doors and windows symbols are essential in a home plan. There are various window and doors symbols based on their shape and size. We use these symbols to illustrate the position of windows and doors in the house walls to create a healthy airflow to dilute the pollutants in the house and provide a comfortable environment.

Doors resemble larger spaces between walls, with a curving line indicating which way the door will swing and providing clearance. Depending on their design and function, they may appear differently on floor plans.

The windows are portrayed as if they were part of the walls.

  • Three parallel lines separate regular sliding-glass windows from solid walls.
  • Casement windows have arcs that look like doors and demonstrate how they open outward.
  • The bay windows are tilted like the edge of a stop sign, interrupting the wall's straight line trajectory.

6. Final Thoughts

Home plan symbols make it easier for owners to communicate with designers and builders by giving them a graphical representation of how they want their house to look after construction. When you create a home plan, start simple and customize the layout step-by-step. Make sure to leave room for modifications in the future and try to focus on the function and flow.

Always prioritize the features instead of picking inefficient designs. Create your home plan on EdrawMax Online, the best free home plan maker. Go to EdrawMax and get templates or use our home plan symbols to make your diagram from the start.
