Direct Answer

A building plan is a certified architectural and engineering drawing set that details plot boundary setbacks, room layouts, building height, floor area ratios (FAR), and structural safety compliance. It is legally required by municipal authorities (such as AMC or MMC) to obtain official construction sanction orders, permanent utility connections, and bank loans.
