Interior elevations are the drawings that make fit-outs work — the straight-on views of inside walls that show exactly where cabinets, tiles and fixtures go.
What Are Interior Elevations?
Interior elevations are 2D drawings of the inside face of a wall, viewed straight on. They show wall-mounted and built-in elements in precise position and height — the detail a floor plan can’t convey. They form part of a complete elevation drawing set.
What Interior Elevations Show
- Cabinetry and millwork layout and heights.
- Tile patterns, wainscoting and wall finishes.
- Fixture and fitting positions in kitchens and bathrooms.
- Switch, outlet and equipment locations.
Why They Matter for Fit-Outs
Kitchens, bathrooms, retail and commercial interiors all depend on interior elevations to coordinate trades and avoid clashes. Accurate elevations prevent the costly mistakes that happen when cabinetry or tile is set out from guesswork.
From 3D Scan to Interior Elevation
A 3D laser scan records each room exactly, so interior elevations are drawn from measured reality and delivered as part of your as-built drawings.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is an interior elevation?
A straight-on 2D drawing of the inside face of a wall, showing built-in elements such as cabinetry, tiling and fixtures in accurate position and height.
When are interior elevations needed?
For kitchens, bathrooms, retail and commercial fit-outs — anywhere wall-mounted elements must be coordinated precisely.
How are interior elevations created?
From measured data; a 3D laser scan of the room provides an accurate point cloud that technicians draft the elevations over.
