Previous Q & A
Previous Questions and Answers
Q:Hi, I love this plan. I know I can use any material I want on the exterior but I love it as is. What materials are shown in the plan as far as siding and herringbone wood design? Also would like to build this as a raised foundation if possible, thanks.
A:Good Morning!
We call out metal board and batten siding and an "engineered wood siding". We don't have a specific brand or manufacturer for the wood siding.
Are you referring to a crawl space foundation? If so, that should be a standard purchasable option.
Q:With this plan is the back fire place in the plans or is it extra?
A:Good morning,
The plans include a fireplace on the covered porch.
Q:How high is the cathedral ceiling at its highest peak?
A:The ceiling height in the porch and the great room would be about 15'-0" at the peak
Q:What is the height of the crawlspace? Does it show how the concrete is poured on the ground and then the block on top of it? Does it include the foundation for the block?
A:Our standard crawl spaces are all 3' deep. I will attach a typical section. We show poured walls, not block.
Q:Are there any steps? Is the outside fireplace etc. included in the plans?
A:Good morning,
There are no steps to the plan as is. Foundation changes would affect this. The fireplace is included in the plan.
Q:Is there a version of this plan with a fireplace in the great room?
A:Good Morning!
Not currently but we can always add one through the modification process.
Q: Is the ductwork exposed in any of the rooms? Just curious how it was installed from one side of the great rm to the other. Ken
A:Due to varying codes between states and even counties, we do not show ductwork or HVAC in our plans. That will need to be done by the builder/plumber that knows the codes for that county.
Q:Where would hvac vents be located on slab construction?
A:Hello,
We do not provide HVAC details in our plans. Since our plans are sold across the country, it's not possible for us to meet local code requirements. To maintain usability, we allow for those details to be decided by local engineers and contractors so they can meet your code requirements.
Q:Hello, I am interested in this plan. However, I do not like that bedroom 2 would have to walk across the house to a bathroom. Is there a plan to move the bedroom over or have a half bath? Also, I am interested in a walkout basement foundation. Can you tell me what sq footage that would add to the house? Thank you, Amy Waddell
A:Good Morning!
The bathroom/bedroom change would have to go through the modification process.
The basement would add another 2,030 square feet.
Q:do you have any plans like this where the garage is attached in in the rear?
A:Are you wanting the garage on the back side of the house or just a rear loading garage where the actual garage is still on the side? Either way, it would have to go through the modification process because we do not have anything like that currently.
-Jake
Q:How many pages are in this plan?
A:The standard slab option for that plan is a total of 7 pages.
Q:As per the plan it shows a laundry and bathroom by the kitchen. But the photo gallery doesn't show that? do you have pics that show that from the angle of the kitchen and living area?
A:As per the plan it shows a laundry and bathroom by the kitchen. But the photo gallery doesn't show that? do you have pics that show that from the angle of the kitchen and living area?
Q:Does the plan show exact drain locations for the plumber?
A:No, we do not show plumbing plans. We have symbols that show sink, toilet, shower, etc. locations but no dimensions to these or anything like that. Does that make sense?
Q:Does the crawlspace show pier location, and do the plans show the window schedule?
A:Good Afternoon!
Yes, the crawl space shows the pier locations and includes an opening schedule.
Q:Hi. I am wanting to build this house in Bella Vista, Ark which is an area with very sloped lots. I visited a couple weeks ago and tried to talk with a builder but it was end of day and I just had to leave a message and haven't heard back. I've reached out to three other builders in that area and haven't heard back. I would like to buy a lot(s) now for build in 2025 if this house could work on a sloped lot. Most of the homes I saw in that area were flat with the road in the front but had to be built on top of concrete blocks in the back to get level. Most were two stories with stilts for the porches on the top levels. Since this plan has concrete patios, in your opinion could it still be built on a sloped lot? If I added the walkout basement option would that help to be able to have the large concrete patio in the back. I would also like to know if you have a picture of what the back of the house would look like with a walkout basement. Thank you. Norma
A:Good Morning!
Yes, this plan could be adapted for a sloped lot! I would need to know how the lot is sloping and how much slope you have to be able to modify the plans correctly. I will attach the rear walkout elevation.
Let me know if you have any questions.
-Jake
Q:The specifications NOT included, are those determined by actual measurements based on building outcomes at time of completion? I was able to build a large catio, sold on Amazon with no problem, I'm trying to figure in a difficulty level to see if I'm able to fully understand all aspects of the building manual that comes with plan 41841. Any advice on where to find a sample of the difficulty level of the building manual? Thanks so much!
A:Good Afternoon!
These plans are not necessarily step by step on how to build it. There will need to be prior construction experience and knowledge in order to build the house. The plans will include the 4 elevations, floor plans, foundation plan, roof plan, and electrical plans. Let me know if you have any questions!
-Jake
Q:What r the symbols n the utility room?
A:Furance, Water heater, water softner, pressure tank, washer and dryer, sink, and a shower
Q:Do you have a picture of the main floor plan showing the basement staircase?
Q:Hi, How are you doing ? we liked this design. And we would like to modify this layout to our needs. Which we have a done with the schematic plan ready. Is it possible to get the modified drawing package with the Revit model ? Please contact me at the earliest. Thank you, Best Regards Charles Aaron 1 6473552800
A:Hi Charles,
We can easily complete your modifications for you here at Custom Home Designs. You can head to the modifications button on the website and message us with your changes and we can get you a quote. Once purchased, we will then start working on your changes.
When it comes to the model, we use the drafting software Softplan. We can export the model to a SketchUp model or 3DS model.
I hope this makes sense, thank you!
Jackson
Q:What would the optimal orientation of this house be in relation to the dominant nw wind and southern exposure for light and sun energy for MN winters?
A:I think you would want the porches to be on the N and S so those larger windows could brighten up the home. Other than that, I'm unsure what would be the most optimal orientation.
I hope this helps a little, please reach out if you have any other questions.
Q:We are wanting a bathroom coming in from the garage near the laundry room. How big is the utility room here? Because we would have the hot water tank and furnace in the basement
A:The Laundry/Mechanical room is roughly 8'-8" x 10'-5"
Q:Do you have any photos of the inside of this house? Also, I saw in a previous question you said the roof pitch above the front porch is different than pictured. How is it different? Steeper? Shallower? If the pitch is different than pictured, it would change the look of the front elevation. How would we know if we like it or not before spending money on buying the plans if it's different than pictured?
A:The roof pitch above the porch is not different than pictured. The pictures you are viewing are exactly what the plan looks like. All I'm saying is the roof pitch over the porch is steeper than the roof pitch over the house.
Interior renderings are available on the website you're currently viewing.
Thank you!
Q:Will you send an image of the walkout basement layout? What is the width with the attached garage?
A:Attached is the basement floor plan. The plan is 81' wide including the garage.
Q:Hi there, What exactly do you mean when you say "What is not included will be beam sizes, floor framing plan, roof framing plan, wall framing plans."? It seems to me that this is crucial information that is needed to construct this house, particularly the location of each truss, because there are intersecting roof lines. Furthermore, the size (span) and number of trusses would also be needed.
A:Many of these details are left to be considered by the contractor who would know the best way to frame the home for example. We leave these details to be figured out by someone who will be onsite and therefore we don't create any restrictions. When it comes to beams and trusses, all of these need to be engineered to align with local codes and regulations. Since we sell our plans on a national scale, we can't meet code for every customer. So, we leave these to be created by local lumber yards or truss manufacturers so they can meet code and get everything that's needed for your build.
I hope this makes sense, thank you!

Q:What is the basement ceiling height?
A:They are 9' ceilings, thank you!
Q:Roof area size
A:Hi there!
Our rough estimate is 3,555 sq. ft.
Thank you!
Q:Is the sheathing Zip system, Weather Logic, or some other energy efficient sheathing? Finally, can you tell me what type of wood siding is spec'd for the outside entry?
A:We use 2x4 girts at 2'-0" O.C instead of sheathing with metal siding. The wood siding underneath the porch is only called out as "engineered wood siding" at this point. It is not a predetermined material from a specific manufacturer so it can be changed to whatever the customer is wanting. More specifically, the dimensions all go to the outside of the stud wall so nothing would change if materials like the siding are adjusted/changed.
I hope this helps, thank you!
Q:What size are the prints? Why are the walls 9 foot 1 and 1/8 inch?
A:These print on 24 x 36in paper. The wall heights are 9' 1 1/8" because precut studs are 104 5/8", and then with three plates added (1 1/2" each), this comes out to the total. This is a standard wall height, but after all materials are added in the finished home (ceiling drywall, flooring), you are left with a 9' ceiling.
I hope this makes sense, please let us know if you have any other questions.
Q:Can you please provide the roof pitch of the section above the front door? Is it different than 4:12 as stated for the primary? Thank you
A:Since this is such a vital part of this plan we hesitate to provide this specific information. In the end, there is a different roof pitch above the front door than the provided primary. We hope you're still interested in this plan, it's one of our most unique designs!
Q:What is the difference between a roof plan and a roof framing plan?
A:Roof framing plan would show and dimension each individual rafter and it's location. a roof plan is a birds eye view from above indicating wall heights, roof pitches, ridges, valleys, hips, etc...
Brad
Q:Can you get the roof framing plans as an addition? We would build on a slab so the other things they that are not included would not matter
A:Good Afternoon!
We do not draw any framing plans unfortunately. Most of the time your local lumber supplier will be able to provide the truss drawings and layout for you. Let me know if you have any other questions.
Q:does the dotted line in the along the great room dining and covered patio mean this is a cathedral ceiling?
A:Good Morning!
Yes! That dotted line represents the cathedral ceiling in the dining and living room.
Thank you!
Q:Are window size ruff framing placment and kitchen cabinet layout placement, ruff framing door sizes included as well as bath layout indicated on the plans as pictured on the finished product….. please send me a snip of a plan with detail drawnings thanks you…..
A:We don't typically provide the rough opening sizes and same for cabinetry. These details are often provided by the designer or manufacturer of the windows/cabinets you purchase. Each manufacturer varies slightly in their dimensions which is why we don't include those details. Once the plans are purchased, you'd easily be able to take them to your local manufacturer and have these specific kitchen and bathroom details created.
Hope this helps!
Q:It states on the site that beam sizes, floor framing plan, roof framing plan, wall framing plans are not included. Can you please explain in more details what the plan does include? Thank you! Charles
A:Our plans include elevations, floorplans, wall sections, roof plan, foundation plan, and electrical plans.
Q:What is the front top board design called
A:This is a herringbone design pattern.
Q:Why doesn’t the house plan come with beam sizes, floor framing plan, roof framing plan, wall framing plans? And how can we add it?
A:Most of this information will be answered by contractors or people providing the materials including lumber yards and truss designers. We do not know where this will possibly be built so that also makes a difference based on local contractors. Hoping this helps!
Q:How tall is the cathedral ceiling? Thank you
A:Good Morning!
The ceiling height in the porch and the great room would be about 15'-0" at the peak depending how they frame it.
