What type of drawing dimensionally locates elements to be constructed on a site?

A layout plan is designed specifically to dimensionally locate elements that will be constructed on a site. It serves as a detailed guide indicating the position of structures, utilities, pathways, and other features in relation to the property boundaries and existing site conditions. This type of drawing emphasizes the arrangement of various components, ensuring that all aspects are accurately represented concerning their spatial relationships and functions.

In contrast, a survey plan primarily focuses on providing an accurate representation of the property boundaries, topography, and existing features, which may not include detailed dimensions for construction purposes. Construction drawings contain specific technical details and specifications about how elements should be built but may not necessarily include the dimensional layout of those elements. A site plan presents an overall view of a project site, including landscaping and infrastructural elements, but its scope can vary, and it might not detail the precise dimensional placements intended for construction, which is the primary purpose of a layout plan.
