A tape measure, pencil, and paper: preferably graph paper for ease of drawing.
STEP 1: Make the room plan drawing.
Draw a rough outline of your room, record the overall length of each wall, and label walls, pillars, windows, and doors. Remember to measure clockwise.
STEP 2: Mark the ceiling height
Measure the ceiling height and write it in the center of your drawing. Even in the same room, ceiling heights can vary by as much as several inches. It is better to measure different areas of the room. If it varies, write down both the low and high measurements.
STEP 3: Label and measure doors and windows
You can begin at the left corner of wall A to measure the first window, door, or wall. Continue clockwise around the room until each wall, window, and door has been counted.
STEP 4: Identify and measure unmovable obstructions
Draw in any obstructions, such as electric outlets, light switches, sink plumbing, gas meter, gas duct, etc., that you either cannot move or do not want to move. Remember, measure clockwise too. Measure the obstruction and record the width, height, depth, and distance to the wall or floor of the obstruction on your drawing.
