S T E P 1 - Size of Plot

Size of plot is defined with its length & the breadth.

S T E P 2 - Setbacks
Setback is defined as the open space in- between the compound wall & the wall of the
house which is being planned for.

S T E P 3 - Location & Width of the road


Location & Width of the road will helps to assign a dedicated space for car entry,
parking & exit along with entrance gate.

S T E P 4 - North Direction
The direction of north is the best to get an idea about the four cardinal directions (east,

west, and north, south) which inversely helps in understanding the local climatic
conditions throughout the year.

S T E P 5 - Climatic information
A house needs to be responsive towards the climatic condition at any particular place
If taken into consideration it will help in taking more calculated design initiatives for
the house planning.
S T E P 6 - Do R&D for sample Floor plan
A bit of online research on house planning and design may not be such a bad idea if it
can give you some new perspective to look at modern house designs.

S T E P 7 - Divide Plot in Grids


Draw the plot boundary and then divide the plot in two equal half on both directions,
i.e. vertical and horizontal. Once done then draw similar lines about 2ft or 600mm
apart from each other on both the directions. This way you have created an imaginary
grid line for developing your house plan further.

S T E P 8 - Make bubble Diagram (2/3 times)


Once you have your drawing ready than list down your entire requirement for the
house. Do mention tentative area as the requirement maybe. See example
-Living room
-Kitchen
-Dining, etc
As listed above use these space on the drawing created before of the plot for placing
the rooms as per your use and sense. Don’t worry too much in the beginning if certain
room / spaces don’t complement each other. This is your first draft & not the final
floor plan layout so don’t worry if it doesn’t look perfect. Have some patience and it
will evolve with time.

S T E P 9 - Draw the room layout with single line


Once the bubble diagrams is more in order of your requirement then use a colored pen
to firm up the lines to indicate walls (9 inch wall). Do show door openings of around 3
ft minimum & window openings which can be anything between 2fit to more. Use the
grid below as guidelines for taking the size of the window.

S T E P 10 - Draw with Double Line /thickness for Walls


In the next step place another tracing sheet on top of the original drawing and now
consider the walls to be of 9inch thickness and convert those initial single lines to
double wall lines.

S T E P 11 - Draw Doors
In a similar way as before indicate the door openings as and where required. Do cretin
changes in the floor plan as required for accommodating entry to rooms / spaces.

S T E P 12 - Draw Window Openings


Following the same understanding as similar to doors indicate the window openings
on the drawing. Do keep it in mind that cross ventilation is very important. Do check
the wind direction for the plot also. Do take rainfall, snowfall & other climatic
information under consideration.

S T E P 13 - Use this Layout and draw them using an Online Software


Once you have done this process twice or thrice by using a tracing sheet on top of the
the initial floor plan layout then it’s time to evolve & develop the same. The best way
is to use any computer generated drawing software which are widely available.

S T E P 14 - Place Furniture inside room to get a more realistic actual Idea about
Internal space
Once you have transferred the hand drawn layout on to any of the above mentioned
online home planning & drawing software, then it’s time to make good use of their
furniture library. It quite usual that you will stumble upon an extensive set of furniture
blocks of proper scale & size which once placed on the floor plan layout gives a more
realistic idea about the floor plan. It may happen that certain furniture may look like
that they consume lot of space or they are too little for a large room. This process
takes time so do give yourself around 1or 2 hrs each day before you see something
more fruitful & a realistic looking floor plan. Drawing a good house floor plan takes
time so don’t be in a jiffy. Do remember that few hours of thought today will give you
more calculated quality of space for your everyday living and for your investment for
the House.

Also a good thinking = A good house plan = Optimal use of your investment to
build your house

S T E P 15 - Then render/colors the layout to get at finish look of house

The same software will also help you to colour the floor plans with the floor finish,
carpet and other features that you want to consider for the house. This will make the
layout look more presentable and readable.
