walls, support members, doors, windows, plumbing fixtures, cabinets, shelving,
ceiling conditions and notes deemed relevant to this plan.

designs may contain 1/8” scale side and rear elevations. Drawing will indicate
overall configuration of home at each side view and make note of plate heights,
roof overhangs, window header heights, roof pitches, materials used and extent
to which they are used and enlargement of any details we feel necessary to
explain the construction.
Building

way to indicate the volumetric/height conditions in the home. Most of
this information can usually be determined from the exterior elevations.

cabinets, heights, widths, type of components used, cabinet material and
finish, counter surfaces, appliances,

as well as bracing and blocking required for structural purposes. Local codes
will most likely need to be consulted.

walls, grade beams, reinforcing steel and structural columns. Consulting
a local engineer is advisable as well as is analysis of soil conditions on
site.
