| It is Easy to Modify Your House Plan. Here's How! |
 |
| Many of our customers choose to modify their plan. In most instances the architect or building designer prefers not to do this work. As a result we have our own building designer who, along with his staff, performs this work for our customers. You may also have your builder undertake this change, or hire someone locally. However we are here if you need us. |
|
| The easiest way to receive a free modification estimate within two business days is to use the Modify Plan button associated with any plan image you locate via our Search facility: |
|
 |
|
| Clicking on one of those buttons brings up our Modification Request Form. |
|
| If the plan you wish to modify is not in our online database, click here to complete our Modification Request Form. |
|
Either way, be sure to provide the plan number (if it hasn't been automatically filled in) and a clear description of the changes you are requesting, which might include the following: | 1. | Altering the type of foundation. | | 2. | Enlarging or adding a garage. | | 3. | Adding to or reducing the size of one or more rooms. Those on the extremity would be the most cost-efficient. | | 4. | Changing the garage entry. | | 5. | Altering the exterior. | | 6. | Or anything else. |
|
|
| Because all our plans are copywritten by the architect or building designer, when you are ready to proceed you will be required to purchase a reproducible set, which then allows you to both alter the plan and make additional copies once the work has been completed. |
|
At that time, we will charge you for both the plan and the modification. Additional information: | 1. | Your first draft of the modification will be submitted to you within four weeks of the receipt of the reproducible. Up to three drafts will be furnished, if necessary, before the final work is begun. If more are required, they will be billed at $75 per hour. | | 2. | The modifications cannot be done on a reverse plan. They will be done to match the original layout. | | 3. | Modifications will appear on a separate sheet with changes noted, referring to the main sheet for details. | | 4. | All modifications are made to meet national building codes. They cannot be done for specific states and we cannot guarantee that they will meet local building codes. You might be required to have a local architect or designer review the plans to comply with local or state requirements. | | 5. | Time and cost estimates are valid for ninety days. |
