The technology:
Visual overview of an entire building floor showing all units, common areas, circulation, and orientation. Color-coded by unit type, used in sales offices, websites, and marketing materials to help buyers understand where their unit sits within the building.
A level plan shows the complete floor of a building — every unit, the corridors, stairwells, lifts, and common areas — styled as a marketing document rather than a technical drawing. It answers the questions buyers ask before they look at individual unit plans: which units face south, which are closest to the lift, which have the largest terraces, how the building is organized as a whole.
For residential developments with more than a handful of units, a level plan is a standard component of the sales package — used in the sales office, on the development website, and as the navigation layer in interactive sales tools.
What it communicates
Unit identification — each unit is numbered or labeled and color-coded by type (studio, 1-bedroom, 2-bedroom, penthouse). At a glance, a buyer can see how many of each type exist on a floor and where they sit relative to each other.
Orientation — compass direction is marked. Buyers immediately see which units face the courtyard, the street, the park, or are corner units with multiple aspects.
Common areas — corridors, lifts, stairs, bin stores, bike parking, and any shared amenity spaces are shown in context. Understanding the path from front door to unit is part of what a buyer is evaluating.
Views and context — for upper floors or buildings with significant views, we sometimes add a simplified site context around the building so buyers can see what each orientation faces.
Availability — level plans are often used as the live availability display in a sales office, with unit colors updated to show sold, reserved, or available. We design the graphic system to support this from the start.
Interactive versions
Level plans are frequently adapted into interactive web tools where each unit is a clickable region linking to the individual unit plan, a 360 rendering, or a virtual tour. We prepare files formatted for developer handoff when an interactive version is planned.
What we need from you
| Architectural plans | Full floor plan in CAD (DWG) or IFC. Must include all units, common areas, and core elements. |
| Unit schedule | Unit numbers, types, and areas. The color-coding system is built from this. |
| Brand guidelines | The level plan needs to match the wider sales material visual identity. |
| Number of floors | If the floor plate repeats, we produce a single plan adapted for each level. Variations (different top floor, different ground floor) are separate deliverables. |
| Output use | Sales office display (large format), website, brochure, interactive. Sizes and format requirements differ. |
