The Scale Rule:
How to read and use a scale rule to understand technical drawings and plan space.
Drawing to scale is essential if you are going to plan your space effectively. If you are using drawings submitted for a planning application then as long as they are at 1:50 or larger you can use the same drawings to plan your furniture layouts.

‘GOLDEN RULE’: Do not reduce or enlarge drawings otherwise it will be useless and not to ‘scale’. Always check they have not been altered to fit in the post or sent electronically unless specified they are ‘to scale @ A4’. To be safe, it’s best to use hard (paper) copies of drawings unless you are experienced.
