The site plan - how do you create one?
A site plan is a drawing prepared in connection with a new construction or modification of an existing building. It shows the building in relation to other buildings and the property boundary.
The site plan looks like a map showing your plot with its surroundings. The planned change requiring a building permit should be drawn on it. It is the municipality that approves your planned change. If the drawing is done correctly the assessment will be faster and the chance of approval increases.
A site plan must contain the building that is new or to be changed, other buildings, property boundaries, the distance to the property boundary marked and dimensioned. Relevant information in a title block, scale indication, and compass rose.

Hire a consultant or draw the site plan yourself
You can either hire a consultant to produce a site plan, or you can do it yourself. A suitable consultant might be an architect or building engineer who has the right tools to produce a site plan. Many site plans are simple, however, and it can feel unnecessarily expensive to pay for just a few lines. That is why many people are interested in creating their own site plan.
You get the map base from your municipality
A site plan is based on a map base. For this to be correct, a copy of Google Maps or similar will not do. For larger projects, such as new construction, a new building map is needed. You order this from your municipality and it often costs more than people expect - up to 20,000 SEK. In simpler cases a simpler base is sufficient, which you can usually order via an e-service on the municipality's website.
Creating a site plan yourself in different ways
There are a few different strategies for creating a site plan yourself. You can use pen and paper, a professional CAD program, or Ritabygglov.se
The quickest way to get approval from your municipality is to submit correct documents with all information at once.
Pen and paper has the advantage that many people are familiar with the tools. You might think squared paper is preferred, but municipalities often require plain white paper. So get a ruler, a mechanical pencil, an eraser, good A3 paper, and then just get started. And you will need a map base from the municipality. Finally, think about scale; you need to calculate the correct scale for every line you draw. At scale 1:400 one centimeter on paper corresponds to 400 in reality.
Professional CAD program has advantages for the professional. For beginners there are many courses available. After a couple of days of training you are ready with computer skills to put together your first site plan.
