A "Presentation Sketch or Drawing" is used to illustrate and communicate the designer's or architect's solution to the client's design problem.

A "Presentation Sketch or Drawing" should include:

• A "Floor Plan" sketched or drawn at a reduced scale such as 1/4"=1'-0 or 1/8"=1'-0 showing windows, doors, appliances, bath fixtures, built-in cabinetry, stairways and fireplaces. Rooms should be labeled by name and square footage indicated.
• A "Front Elevation" sketched or drawn at a reduced scale such as 1/4"=1'-0 or 1/8"=1'-0 showing window and door styles with trim, type of siding or masonry materials used on walls, and type of roofing materials. The heights of floor and ceiling from the ground should be indicated in feet & inches and the pitch of the roof should shown with the pitch symbol.
• A title; the client's name and address; the designer's name with the company's name and address; and a date. The views should be labeled and all text should be of various sizes to indicate importance of information.
• Optional perspective or other pictorial views, sectional views, interior views, plot plans, landscape plans and/or furniture plans may also be included on Presentation Sketches or Drawings.

"Presentation Sketches or Drawings" are usually prepared on illustration board, vellum, sketching or bond papers.

Hatching, shading and rendering techniques along with colored pencils, inks or markers may also be used to portray a more realistic appearance.
