Draw the main structure and any accessory buildings, keeping required setbacks in mind.
Add driveways, walkways, and parking
Show vehicle access, turning areas, garage locations, and pedestrian paths.
Include landscaping and outdoor features
Add trees, garden beds, patios, pools, or other site elements that affect the layout.
Label dimensions and site details
