Which plan shows the relative locations of walls, doors, windows, and other features inside a building?

• A. Floor plan
• B. Site plan
• C. Exterior elevation plan
• D. Utilities plan

Answer: (A)

A floor plan is drawn as a top-down view of the building’s interior, showing where walls, doors, windows, and other features are located and how rooms connect. This type of drawing communicates the interior layout and the relative positions of spaces, which is exactly what the question is asking about. Floor plans are typically scaled to convey accurate dimensions and door swings, helping inspectors understand egress routes and how interior elements fit together. In contrast, a site plan shows property boundaries and exterior site features, an exterior elevation plan depicts the outside faces of the building, and a utilities plan focuses on plumbing, electrical, and mechanical routes rather than interior layout.
