Which document is used to show the internal layout of rooms within a building?

• A. Site plan
• B. Detail
• C. Floor plan
• D. Elevation

Answer: (C)

The internal layout of rooms on a level is shown on a floor plan. It provides a horizontal view of the building that reveals how spaces are arranged, where walls, doors, openings, stairs, and room boundaries are located, and how rooms connect to one another. This makes it the document that communicates the actual flow and organization of spaces inside the building. A site plan deals with property lines, outdoor spaces, and exterior features; an elevation presents vertical exterior or interior faces of the building; a detail zooms in on a specific element or construction feature. None of these show the complete arrangement of interior rooms on a floor like a floor plan does.
