Which scales is typically used for a residential floor plan?

Residential floor plans are typically drawn to a scale of 1/4 inch equals 1 foot (1:48) or 1/8 inch equals 1 foot (1:96). The 1/4 inch scale is commonly used for detailed layouts, allowing for easy measurement of room dimensions and furniture placement. In some cases, larger properties may use a smaller scale, like 1/8 inch, to fit the entire layout on a single page.
