Planning & EstimatingQuestion 304 of 360
During planning, what is the purpose of a plumbing "plot" or "site" plan as opposed to the floor plan?
a.It shows the building's location on the lot and the routes of underground water, sewer, and gas services to the mains
b.It shows the color of interior finishes
c.It shows only the roof framing
d.It lists the furniture layout
Explanation
A site or plot plan shows the building footprint on the property and the underground service routes, points of connection, and utility easements to the public mains. It is essential for planning the sewer and water service excavation and for coordinating with the utility. The interior floor plan, by contrast, details the piping within the building.
