What is Included in Our Plans?
All of our plans are designed by licensed architects and residential
building designers. Each plan is designed to meet nationally recognized
building codes for the year they were created.
No two plans are the same.
We strongly encourage you to contact us for the contents of any plan you may be interested in purchasing.
Below is a listing of sheets typically included in our plans:

Exterior Elevations

Building Code
Because of the wide range of requirements throughout
states and municipalities, it is possible that the plans may not have
all of the information required by your building department. If this is
the case, we recommend hiring a local design professional or engineer
who can assist bringing the plans up to your local building code.
Engineering
Some states require that a licensed architect or engineer review and
stamp the plans. If this is the case where you will be building, a local
professional will be able to assist you.
Important Extras: Sold separately
Readable reverse Plans
The layout is reversed and all the writing is corrected so you can
read the writing. With this option, all of your sets will appear the way
you want to build the home. This option is available for an additional
charge.
Mirror Reverse Plans
The lettering and dimensions will read backwards, so you will need to order at least one set non-reversed as a reference copy.
Itemized List of Materials (when available)
Includes the quantity, type and size of materials needed to build your home.
