Only one type is included with each plan and basement plans can be added for an additional fee. Bearing walls and all the necessary dimensioning are included on plans. Please note that these drawings are designed to meet IRC building codes but may not be sufficient for your local area. Foundation plans may need to be engineered locally.

6. Roof plan showing roof pitches and overhang dimensions as well as ventilation notes.

WHAT’S NOT INCLUDED

1. HVAC and plumbing schematics ( plumbing fixtures are shown on floor plans ) because of regional variations in climate and building codes, heating and plumbing plans should be supplied by local contractors.

2. Specifications should be written up by your home builder after your personal selections are chosen (brands and manufacturer types of windows, doors, etc.), this list should be obtained from the contractor you choose or from a local building supply company.

3. Architectural stamps and engineering seals. Some cities and states require a licensed architect or engineer to review and seal a blueprint, or officially approve it, prior to construction due to concerns over energy costs, safety, and other factors. You may have to seek the assistance of a local architect or engineer in these cases.

What's not included:  House plans do not typically include mechanical, plumbing, or truss drawings. Additionally, some jurisdictions require a local architect or engineer to make adjustments to the plan to comply with local building codes. We advise you to check with your local building department regarding codes. For more information, visit the What's Included in Our Plans page.
