Plot Plans
o
A plot plan is an architecture, engineering, and/or landscape architecture plan drawing diagram
which shows the buildings, utility runs, and equipment layout, the position of
roads, and other constructions of an existing or proposed project site at a
defined scale. Plot plans are also known more commonly as site plans. The plot
plan is a 'top down' orientation.
The specific objects and relations shown is dependent on the purpose for
creating the plot plan, but typically contain: retained and proposed buildings,
landscape elements, above ground features and obstructions, major infrastructure
routes, and critical legal considerations such as property boundaries, setbacks,
and rights of way. Specific design
disciplines' plot plans can be part of a complex project's documents, such as
grading, landscape, foundation engineering, and utilities.

House Corner Staking
o
To ensure that a proposed structure is correctly positioned on the property,
the surveyor can set wooden stakes at the major building corners, or, if
desired, at every turn in the foundation. Offset stakes may also be set to help
locate corners whose stakes were disturbed during the grading process
