1. Our Construction Plans include:
Construction notes and design data.
1/4" scale all elevations, foundation plan, and floor plan(s).
Door and window schedules, Kitchen cabinet plan and schedules (for plans with kitchens).
1/2" scale building/stair cross section(s)  showing materials and
construction details.

Framing plans are included for most 2 story designs.
You and your builder can determine material substitutions for those shown
if required.

Plumbing fixture locations are shown on the floor plans when applicable.
Electrical, heating and air conditioning are not shown with plans.
Electrical, HVAC and plumbing should be installed to code requirements by licensed professionals.
We recommend you discuss fixtures, outlets, etc. with your builder and subcontractor before construction.

Foundations ~ House plans show full basements under living areas. Some plans also show walk out basements and/ or garage under.
The foundations we show for garages are for a poured concrete frost wall on footings,
suitable for New England. This can be adjusted by a builder for conditions and codes in other areas

2.  Modifying plans
~ Other modifications such as relocating windows and doors modifying sizes etc. can be done prior to construction by your builder.  You and your builder should  check with your building department for compliance with all local codes and zoning before construction.

3.  Reversed Plans
~ All our plans are available mirror image, right reading for no additional charge.  Just mark your order with the plan number and  "REVERSED"

4.  Bill of Materials (B.O.M.)
B.O.M.'s are available for some (but not all) of our garage plan collection for an additional $35 with or without a plan order.  We're working to get them all. Please verify availability before ordering.

5.  Building Codes
~ Our plans are drawn to BOAC and CABO codes in effect at the time they were created.  They are designed for Southern New Hampshire and Massachusetts.
Because codes are subject to frequent change, local requirements and varying interpretation, we cannot guarantee compliance with any specific codes or requirements.  You and your builder and local building department must review and adjust the plans for code requirements prior to construction.
You and your builder can determine material substitutions for materials shown on the plans if required.

6. To Contact us
~ We recommend email as best way to get additional information on a particular plan.
Include plan number(s) and questions you have and we'll try to answer as soon as possible.  For all contact information see:

Please FAX graphics or sketches to the number below, we can't accept large electronic files or open unsolicited attachments to email due to security considerations.

Satisfaction

7. Construction Costs
~ Sorry we can't do building cost estimates since materials and labor vary for different locales and conditions.  You should be able to get free estimates from builders if they know you are serious about building.  That's where a good set of plans can help so you know everyone you're talking to is bidding the same job.  Be sure to allow plenty of time for estimates and planning.   Estimates done with an adequate time allowance will be more accurate than those which are rushed and include "guess-timate just in case we forgot something" numbers.
