Our plans are typically “builder’s sets”. They include:
General information and specifications
Foundation plan
Roof plan
Floor plans
Elevations
Wall sections, details
Electrical plan
They do not include structural engineering. That should be done locally to make sure you’re meeting local codes. Each jurisdiction is different.

Q:Building just north of Charlestown, SC and have concerns on coastal consideration for wind/hurricane. I understand you are out of Beaufort, SC and was wondering if you think it would generally comply or take significant changes to this plan. I understand no guarantees as each city can vary, just an opinion. Thanks!
A:Our drawings are designed to be as user friendly as possible knowing that each location will present a different set of regulations to be enforced based upon your local jurisdiction. With that in mind, our plans are compliant with the current IRC (International Residential Code); however, our plans are not engineered to meet your local structural requirements that exist. Minor revisions or supplemental information may be required to comply with local codes, zoning requirements, and building regulations. We recommend that you consult with a local engineer/building codes department in these matters. If your region requires engineered drawings (i.e. hurricane, seismic, etc) or stamped plans, you or your builder will be responsible for having the drawings we provide adapted to meet your local codes.
