You know what cannabis floor plans are – they’re a 2D overhead view of your facility, including walls, doors, and other key infrastructure and fixtures. Rooms and areas are often labeled (sales floor, inventory fault, trimming room, etc.), and the drawing is often made to scale.

Overlays, as you might expect, are layers of additional infrastructure that sit on top of your core floor plans, showing you the location of assets such as surveillance cameras and wall-mounted displays. Security overlays are the most common; they’re often required for applications. IT overlays are also a necessity. It’s expensive to install or move IT assets like IT racks, POS stations, and wireless access points, so you want to make sure they’re correctly designed and positioned before your start your buildout.

You may submit your floor plans with and without overlays depending on your application’s instructions and what you’re trying to emphasize.
