Question

or any sort of design for clients. I just need someone that I can talk to about some of the idiots I have to deal with.

Answer 1

no but in 8 years or so you can come to me, i'll be an architect by then :)

Answer 2

for a floor plan, you draw the outline of the walls, as it would appear from above. If it is an existing structure, you measure each room, and draw it to scale. If you are planning a house to be built, then draw the outer walls first, then fill in the rooms so that they fit. A site plan is drawn as if you were looking at the lot from directly above. The elevation plan is a drawing, to scale, of what the finished unit would look like from directly in front of it. If these drawings are so you can show people what you have in mind for the structure, then a simple scale, like 1 inch equals one foot can be used. If you want drawings from which to build the actual structure, you should go to an architect for it to be legal and practical. Drawings for building have to be exact to a fraction of an inch, or the house will not hold up. Also of course, drawings for building have to include the foundation, the plumbing, the electrical, the heating, ventilation, the air conditioning, etc. In addition, every city in the USA, and I believe in most other countries has laws about the size, materials, and adherence to structural safety standards -as well as local zoning laws, etc. Generally the law requires that a licensed architect do these drawings, and the list of specifications. Any builder or contractor is going to insist on approved plans -to cover their um, assets. Have fun.
