In general a set of plans is composed of six major sections. Which is NOT one of these sections?

• A. Site Plans
• B. Floor Plans
• C. Elevations
• D. Occupancy Standards

Answer: (D)

A plan set is built from drawings that show the physical layout and construction details of the building—how it sits on the site, how spaces are arranged, and what the exterior and structure look like. The site plan, floor plan, and elevations are all standard drawing sections you’d expect to see because they directly depict the built form and massing.

Occupancy standards don’t fit as a drawing section. They relate to regulatory limits on use, occupant load, egress, and life-safety requirements, which are addressed in codes, calculations, and project specifications rather than as a drawing sheet. So while occupancy information is essential for compliance, it isn’t a major plan-set section like site plans, floor plans, or elevations.
