What is a "blueprint"?
A blueprint is a detailed technical drawing or plan used in construction and architecture to guide the building process. Traditionally printed in blue with white lines, blueprints provide a precise representation of a structure, including dimensions, layouts, and materials. They often show multiple views, such as floor plans, elevations, and sections, to give a complete picture of the project. Blueprints serve as essential communication tools between architects, engineers, and builders, ensuring everyone understands the design and specifications. Today, blueprints can also be created digitally, allowing for easier modifications and sharing among project stakeholders.
