What is included in a set of house plans? What is included in a set of house plans? A set of home plans includes:
How many sets should I order? The number of plan sets you will need depends upon your builder and local codes department; however, as a rule of thumb, you will need:
These are estimates. Check with your builder to make sure you order enough for all parties. How is square footage calculated? Square footage includes all heated space. It includes the exterior wall frame and brick. It does not include decks, porches, garages, unfinished basements or attics. However, we separately list the square footage for porches, decks and garages. What is a study set of home plans? A study set includes all four elevations and the floor plans. It is intended to help you decide if the home will fit within your construction budget. It does not include a roof plan, foundation plan, building sections, or details, and thus is not suitable for construction. We will credit the price of a study set toward your purchase of a full set of construction drawings at any time within two months of the purchase of the study set. What is a reproducible vellum set of plans? These are complete sets of home plans printed on erasable vellum, which will allow you or your contractor to make minor changes to the plans. Once the changes are made, you can then make all the copies you need. Reproducible sets include a copyright release allowing you to legally make copies; however, you may not build more than one home from the plan without reuse fees. What is a reuse fee? Each purchase of plans grants the license to use them for construction on one site only. A reuse fee is payable for construction of the same plan on each additional site. Can I modify the plans? All of our plans are protected by copyright. Reproduction in their original form or as modified without prior written permission of Taylor Made Plans, LLC is prohibited and is a violation of federal copyright law. Will the plans include all the information needed by my local building codes department? Because of the great differences in geography and climate throughout the United States, each state, county, and municipality has its own building codes and zone requirements. Your plan may need to be modified to comply with local requirements regarding snow loads, energy codes, soil and seismic conditions, and a wide range of other matters. In addition, many municipalities require a site plan be furnished. This can easily be obtained from a local draftsman. Your local building codes department can provide you with a list of items needed for a building permit. What if I don't see a plan that's exactly what I'm looking for? Please review our plans and ask questions! If you don't see the exact floor plan or square footage you're looking for, ask about customization. If the changes are minor, they may even be included in the price of the stock plan! We can usually reduce or enlarge square footages of existing plans .Most of the plans include wood framing and lap siding. We can customize plans for brick exteriors, and we can change foundations to slab on grade or crawl space, according to your needs. Almost anything is possible, within our historic modern design style. Please allow a few weeks for customization. Do you have more modern plans? Looking for something more edgy? In addition to historic replicas, Taylor Made Plans, LLC can customize homes with a more modern exterior, using alternative materials that will still blend in well in a historic neighborhood. Call us to discuss your style preferences. Can I return stock plans? Plans cannot be returned or exchanged. Please be sure of your order before placing it, including checking the dimensions of your lot! How long does it take to get my plans? In most cases, we will ship your plans within 2 business days from receipt of payment; if we are unable to ship within this time frame for any reason, we will contact you upon receipt of your order with an estimated shipment date. If you desire modifications to the plan, additional time will be required depending upon complexity. What are my shipping options? U.S. Priority Mail (2-3 business days) - $15.00 |
