What do site plans show?

• A. Lighting standards, driveways, walks, patios, and swimming pools.
• B. The structure that supports the building.
• C. Floor plans.
• D. Electrical diagrams.

Answer: (A)

Site plans illustrate how the building sits on the land and how the surrounding outdoor features are laid out. They show the relationship to property lines and setbacks, grading and drainage, utilities, and exterior elements such as lighting locations, driveways, walks, patios, and swimming pools. This exterior and site-wide view is what site plans are meant to convey, unlike structural plans that focus on the building’s frame, floor plans that show interior room layouts, or electrical diagrams that map wiring. So the choice listing lighting, driveways, walks, patios, and pools best matches what a site plan shows.
