Which plan provides a top view of the building showing interior and exterior walls and partitions?

• A. Floor plans
• B. Reflected ceiling plan
• C. Foundation plan
• D. Fire protection plan

Answer: (A)

Floor plans are the top-down view of a building that show how the spaces are laid out, including interior and exterior walls and partitions. This plan type focuses on how rooms and areas relate to each other, where walls stand, and how doors and openings connect spaces, all from above at a typical floor level. The other plans serve different purposes: a reflected ceiling plan details ceiling features like lights and HVAC above the space; a foundation plan shows footings and foundation walls below grade; a fire protection plan maps sprinkler and detection layouts rather than the general wall layout.
