Architectural drawings are employed for many functions, and can come in a number of diverse varieties depending on your preferences. For most extensions or loft conversions at least some type of architectural drawing will be necessary, either to submit to councils or local authorities for planning permission or building regulations approval, or for use by building contractors to effectively execute the building works.
Floor plans, site plans and elevation drawings will usually have to be drawn up to submit to local authorities to either receive planning permission or to guarantee that the planned work is carried out within permitted development rights. These drawings will show the scale of the planned works, and give the planning officer a sense of how the work may interact with the nearby area. For construction requirements as well as for building regulations approval, technical drawings are generally produced which detail the types of materials used in the building work on a structural and insulation level.
