World Floor Plans
This site was established in 2011 on the back of a need to have quick and easy access to various building and unit floor plans in the city of Dubai in the U.A.E. The site started when a family member, working in real estate at the time, was regularly scouring the web to obtain floor plans to assist a client. The idea then developed to have a central location, fully indexed, of floor plans accessible to everyone. Since then the site has grown, initially to other cities in the U.A.E., then to expanding into the Middle East, and now we are listing floor plans from all over the world.
