What
Do Our Sets of Home Plans and Garage Plans Include?
Construction blueprints are detailed, clear and concise. All blueprints
are designed by home designers and/or licensed architects and each
home plan is designed to meet one of the nationally recognized building
codes (the Uniform Building Code, Standard Building Code, International Residential Code, or Basic
Building Code) at the time and place that particular home building plan was drawn.
The blueprints for most home designs include the following elements,
but the presentation of these elements may vary depending on the
size and complexity of the home and the style of the individual
designer/architect:
Exterior
Elevations: show the front, rear and sides of the house, including
exterior materials, details and measurements.
Foundation
Plans: include drawings for a standard, daylight or partial
basement, crawlspace, pier, or slab foundation. All necessary
notations and dimensions are included. (Foundation options will
vary for each plan. If the home you want does not have the type
of foundation you desire, contact the designer/architect of your
plan.)
Interior
Elevations: (call 1-800-482-0464 before ordering to confirm) show the specific details of cabinets (kitchen,
bathroom). We suggest contacting local cabinet and fireplace distributors
for sizes and styles.
Schematic
Electrical Layouts: (call 1-800-482-0464 before ordering to confirm) show the suggested locations for switches,
fixtures and outlets. These details may be shown on the floor
plan or on a separate diagram.
Detailed
House Floor Plans: show the placement of interior walls and the
dimensions for rooms, doors, windows, stairways, etc., of each
level of the house.
NOTE:
Due to regional variations, local availability of materials, local
codes, methods of installation, and individual preferences, it
is impossible to include detail on heating and plumbing work on your plans.
The duct work, venting, and other details will vary depending on the type of heating and cooling
system (forced air, hot water, electric, solar) and the type of
energy (gas, oil, electricity, solar) that you use. These details
and specifications are easily obtained from your builder, contractor,
and/or local suppliers.

All plans comply with national recognized building codes (either
the Uniform Building Code, Standard Building Code, or Basic Building
Code) in effect at the time they were drawn. Because local and
state building regulations vary from region to region and are

upon the purchaser's obligation and agreement to strictly comply
with all applicable codes, ordinances, regulations and requirements.
Note that certain states require the services and seal of an architect
registered in that state.
Purchaser agrees to check and verify all dimensions and materials
before construction. Due to regional variations, COOL House Plan
Company cannot and does not guarantee the availability of
any materials or products suggested or specified on plans. Any
discrepancies or questions must be reported to the respectful
designer/architect prior to the start of construction.
Purchaser agrees that the use of the plan is for the construction
of one house only, and that the plan or any part of it will not
be reproduced by any means without the written consent of the
copyright owner.
