Types of blueprint drawings
Blueprints come in three major varieties: plan view drawings, elevation view drawings, and section view drawings.
- Plan view drawings are what most people visualize when they think of building blueprints: a horizontal, bird’s-eye view of the building, with a plan, view drawing for each floor of the structure (including foundations, basements, and rooftops).
- Elevation view blueprints are drawn on a vertical plane and are often used to show the appearance of the exterior of a building (some elevation views depict the interior building elements).
- Section views, like elevation views, are drawn on the vertical plane and duplicate the inside of a section of the building, revealing the location of insulation, wall studs, wiring, and other elements.
Understanding blueprint pages
Blueprints often come in sets, especially for large, complex structures. In order to keep blueprint sets organized, a standard set of letter codes is combined with page numbers to describe the objective of each drawing and its place in the set. Letter codes include:
- G: General sheets such as the cover sheet, the plan index, the title block, and plot plans.
- A: Architectural plans for walls, roofs, ceilings, floors, and building sections.
- S: Structural engineering blueprints including outlines for the building foundation, framing plans, and roof structure.
- E: Electrical plans outlined the location and function of electric fixtures, outlets, pictures, panel boxes, etc.
- M: Mechanical plans concerning the building’s HVAC system, ductwork, piping, control wiring, etc.
- P: Plumbing sheets.
Also included in blueprint drawings are door, window, and finish schedules, which provide information on the size, style, and materials used for doors, windows, and other finishes. Blueprint sets will also include specification sheets, which offer in-depth descriptions of all materials used during construction.

Understanding Estimation Methods
The blueprint estimation process springs from a meticulous study of blueprints uploaded by the clients. After that, an on-screen takeoff is performed using digital software such as Bluebeam and OST. All the provided details are entered into the software to generate an accurate, affordable, and feasible blueprint estimation.
In case of missing details, our expert and certified estimators carry out the assumption-based estimation. Our blueprint estimators use their past experiences to create your blueprint estimation. A final check is performed by the lead estimator to ensure everything fully meets the client’s requirements.
