How important is a good floor plan?
A. A floor plan sizes and describes the rooms that will shape your family’s living in the house. It should be studied carefully to determine if the house suits your mode of living. A large formal dining room that no one uses, for example, is a waste of money if it means that the space of the family room, where your family will spend its leisure hours, is small and cramped. The plan shows where you will have the most important spatial character, where the space allotment has been maximized or minimized and how efficient the construction of the house will be.
