Our house plans are designed to meet the building codes in effect at the time and location of the original design. While our plans can often be built "as is," your local building department may have additional requirements. These could include structural engineering, soil reports, or energy efficiency calculations, which may involve extra costs. We recommend working with a local structural engineer or architect to address any property-specific details and comply with local regulations, as some areas require this by law. Your building contractor will typically navigate these items for you.
** Our plans do not include plumbing, heating, or air conditioning drawings due to the wide variation in local codes and climate conditions. These details are typically handled by your builder, contractor, or local tradespeople as part of their standard services. However, many of our plans do include an electrical layout as a bonus. This layout is intended for reference only, with the final specifications determined by your local electrician.
