What is a roof plan?

A roof plan is a detailed engineering drawing that shows the layout of the roof from both a bird's eye view and a cross-section. It details the shape, size, and orientation of the roof, as well as the location of various features such as vents, skylights, and chimneys. The roof plan is an essential component of any building design and is used by architects, structural engineers, and contractors to ensure that the roof structure is sound and that the finished roof will meet the desired specifications.
