TECHNICAL DRAWING OUTPUTS INCLUDED
Our Philosophy
Each online architectural plans package typically includes the following professionally standardised drawing outputs, tailored to the jurisdiction and project type.
3.1 Existing Condition Drawings
3.2 Proposed Architectural Drawings
3.2 Proposed Architectural Drawings
- Existing floor plans
- Existing elevations
- Existing roof plans
- Existing sections (where required)
These drawings establish the baseline legal and spatial condition of the property and are essential for:
- Planning comparison
- Structural assessment
- Regulatory approval
- Contractor pricing
3.2 Proposed Architectural Drawings
3.2 Proposed Architectural Drawings
3.2 Proposed Architectural Drawings
- Proposed floor plans
- Proposed elevations
- Proposed roof layouts
- Proposed cross and longitudinal sections
- Area schedules (GIA / NIA where applicable)
3.3 Site & Location Drawings
3.2 Proposed Architectural Drawings
3.3 Site & Location Drawings
- Location plans
- Site/block plans
- Boundary verification diagrams
- Setback and massing diagrams
PLANNING AUTHORITY VALIDATION & SUBMISSION COMPATIBILITY (GL
Online architectural plans must satisfy formal validation criteria before they are even assessed.
Rejection at validation stage is one of the most common failures of low-quality online drafting services.
MyHomePlans prepares drawings to comply with planning validation checklists, including:
- Correct drawing titles and numbering
- Accurate scale bars and north points
- Clear differentiation between existing and proposed works
- Consistent dimensional references
- Boundary clarity and site ownership demarcation
- File naming and format compliance
These principles apply across:
- UK Planning Portal submissions
- US city zoning departments
- EU municipal planning systems
- Australian council portals
- Middle Eastern development authorities

Key technical rule:
Planning departments validate clarity, accuracy, and compliance — not design intent.
Primary (Recommended – Body Text)
Key technical rule:
Planning authorities assess clarity, dimensional accuracy, and regulatory compliance — not architectural intent or stylistic preference.
Authority Emphasis Version (Best for Bold Callout)
Planning validation is technical, not subjective.
Authorities validate drawn information quality, accuracy, and policy compliance, not design narrative or visual intent.
Ultra-Formal / Regulatory Tone
Planning departments validate submissions against statutory drawing standards, dimensional accuracy, and policy compliance, rather than architectural expression or design ideology.
SEO-Optimised Long-Form Version
From a regulatory perspective, planning departments validate applications based on clarity of information, measurable accuracy, and compliance with adopted planning policy, not on architectural taste, style, or conceptual intent.
Short Pull-Quote (UI / Highlight Box)
Planning is about compliance — not creativity.
Technical Sidebar Version
Planning validation focuses on whether drawings are clear, accurate, and compliant with policy and regulation. Design intent is not a validation criterion.
