Property types
Creating floor plans by property type
A plan of a one-bedroom flat and a plan of a warehouse have almost nothing in common except the file extension. One has to make daily life legible in seconds; the other has to document structural grids, loading doors and clear heights.
These pages describe, per property type, which rooms usually appear, what buyers and portals expect to see, which mistakes keep happening in that specific type, and which export format makes sense at the end.
