Basic? Main?

Context is building design.

tentative, basic
Uitleg:
The following rendering in Van Dale Dutch-English could apply here:

grondstelling
principle
basis
context
in principe ben ik ertegen
in principle / basically / essentially I am against it
de marxistische principes
the principles of Marxism

That would mean you could translate 'principe plattegrond' and 'principe details' as 'basic layout' and 'basic details', for example. However, the term 'principe' is also often used in the sense of something being tentative. I have a gut feeling that this could be the intended meaning in your case.

Uitleg:
In principe zou de plattegrond, etc. zus en zo uitzien, dat is dus de bedoeling, maar er kunnen zich nog omstandigheden voordoen waardoor wijzigingen noodzakelijk zouden kunnen blijken.
