German term or phrase: Raumbuch/Raumbücher

The term appears in a non-technical document about developing hotel properties. I understand that a "Raumbuch" does or can involve a three-dimensional depiction of space, here of the hotel and its rooms I guess, but I'm not 100% sure and have no clue about how to render this in English.

Any help would be appreciated.

English translation:(detailed) space plan

Explanation:
Judging by the German URLs below, this term apparently refers to a detailed space plan intermediate to the stages of preliminary architectural drawings and final construction drawings.

Two German definitions of Raumbuch:
>>Das RAUMBUCH ist die erste wesentliche Aussage zur Planung eines Gebäudes. Ohne sich gewissenhaft zu orientieren, wie Sie leben oder arbeiten wollen, welches bauliche Umfeld die für Ihr Wohlbefinden und das Ihrer gegewärtigen und künftigen Mitbewohner geeignet ist, sollten Sie keinen Grundstein legen.<<
http://www.baudaten.at/raumbuch.htm ---
>>Raumbuch: In einem Raumbuch werden für jeden Raum eines zu erstellenden Bauwerks alle den Raum beschreibenden Maße, Baustoffe, Einbauteile etc. detailliert beschrieben. Das Raumbuch stellt somit zusammen mit dem LV und den Werkplänen eine hervorragende Grundlage für die Erstellung, Überwachung und Abrechnung eines Bauwerks dar. Unterstützt wird die Erstellung eines Raumbuchs durch zahlreiche am Markt verfügbare Software-Programme.<< http://www.bau.net/lexikon.htm#R
