2D and 3D Floor Plans – Frequently Asked Questions
What is a 2D Floor Plan?
A 2D Floor Plan is a technical drawing of the inside of a property which presents accurate measurements and details in an easy to read form. If you were to cut a horizontal line through a property, then the area below this line is presented on the plan with doors, windows and permanent fixtures and fittings detailed for each room in the property. Each 2D Floor Plan provides accurate measurements of rooms and is a useful tool for planning any potential changes to a property.
What is a 3D Floor Plan?
3D Floor Plans are growing in popularity quickly and have been widely adopted in the architecture industry as a useful interior decoration tool. This is because a 3D Floor Plan provides more aesthetically pleasing imagery than a standard 2D Plan while featuring all of the advantages as well. The same measurements and objects are included in both types of plan, but where a 2D plan will simply be a technical drawing in black and white, a 3D plan can help to plan out design schemes and really boost the selling potential for a property.
Why purchase a Floor Plan?
If you are selling or letting a property or even just renovating, a Floor Plan is an essential tool in getting the desired results. It has become a widely held opinion among estate agents, landlord and property sellers that having a professionally designed floor plan greatly increases the interest from prospective tenants and buyers. This is largely due to the fact that a Floor Plan enables another perspective on a property and highlights the possibilities for any changes and shows the exact measurements of both individual rooms and the property in general, which cannot be gained from a photograph, no matter how impressive it might be. The added benefit of having a 2D or 3D Floor Plan is that they can save valuable time by cutting out viewings which are likely to conclude without a deal because buyers and renters may have other requirements in mind.
Can I draw my own Floor Plan?
Anyone can draw a 2D Floor Plan for themselves, but unless you know how to do so already, or you are willing to spend vast amounts of time in learning how to construct a Floor Plan properly and accurately, then the chances are that a simple mistake could be made which might have disastrous implications later on. There is also software available to aid you in constructing your own Floor Plan, which is essential for a 3D Plan, but for the cost of getting a reputable piece of software you could have hired a professional tradesman who is an expert in the field who will save the time and effort which would have been required to do-it-yourself.
