Which drawing shows the building's placement on the lot?

• A. Floor Plan
• B. Elevations
• C. Plot Plan
• D. Site Plan

Answer: (C)

Placement of a building on a property is shown by the plot plan. This drawing marks the lot boundaries, property lines, and setback lines, and it shows where the building footprint sits within those boundaries. It’s used to confirm that the structure sits at the required distance from streets, property lines, and easements, which is essential for permits and compliance. Floor plans focus on the interior arrangement of rooms, elevations illustrate the exterior faces, and site plans lay out the overall improvements on the site like driveways and landscaping. When you need to know exactly where the building sits on the lot, the plot plan is the reference.
