Not all drawings are done to scale, sketches of buildings and people for instance. However if it is a technical drawing the draughtsman/woman will state on the drawing the scale used.

What is the scale and why scale must be considered when the draughtman drawing the plan?

Scale is how much smaller(or bigger) the drawing is compared to the real object. It'd be real awkward if you were drawing a house to have to make the drawing as big as the house would be. But for the drawing to work out you need to know how to translate between the drawing and reality - so you decide something. Scale 1:12 for instance would mean that something that's one inch in the drawing would be one foot in reality.
