They will:
• Show the location of various features on the site and illustrate details about the building e.g. construction details for specific trades people.
• Show the height, position, and bulk of the building so that council can determine compliance to its codes.
• Allow builders and tradespeople to prepare written quotations. Remember written quotations (quotes) or contracts should only relate to approved building plans. An estimate should be given prior to council approval.
• Provide the surveyor with the details ‘to set out’.
• Illustrate to tradespeople the structure to be built.
