What Do Architectural Drawings Show?
Architectural drawings show your proposed extension's floor plan, elevations, and design details — room layouts, window and door placements, finishes, and how the new space integrates with your existing villa's design. These are typically submitted alongside structural drawings and calculations as part of your NOC application.

Who prepares architectural drawings?
Typically an architect or design professional, often working alongside your structural engineer.
