I got this question during a job interview.

My question comes from Line Planned and Storeyed Buildings topic in chapter Methods of Building Estimate & Estimate of Building of Civil Engineering Drawing

Answer 1

Correct choice is (b) Plans

The explanation is: Plans are often for technical purposes such as architecture, engineering, or planning. Their purpose in these disciplines is to accurately and unambiguously capture all the geometric features of a site, building, product or component. Plans can also be for presentation or orientation purposes, and as such are often less detailed versions of the former. The end goal of plans is either to portray an existing place or object, or to convey enough information to allow a builder or manufacturer to realize a design.
