Our plans are typically “builder’s sets”. They include:
General information and specifications

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:I have three questions regarding plan 73758: 1) What is the ceiling height of the garage level and of the loft area? 2) The snow load rating for my location in Colorado is 63 (roof) / 90.1 (ground). Can the trusses for this plan be modified to accommodate this additional load? If so, what would be involved, would this effect the required wall construction (thickness, stud spacing, etc), and how much would this cost? 3) Do the plans include a materials list? Please get back to me with this information as quickly as possible as I am hoping to start my site preparation before the ground freezes! Sincerely, Peter Fritz
A:Peter,
1. This plan has a 9’-0” garage plate height (ceiling height) and the interior loft walls are located at the 5’-0” and vault to the ridge. When building a flat area could be located at 8’ or 9’ depending on the wishes of the owner.
2. As with any stock plan sale you may purchase the plans should be verified to meet local codes and special requirements such as high wind, snow, or seismic loads. Your builder will be a great help with this and what is required for permitting as well as being familiar with a local engineer or architect.
3. The plans do not include a materials list.
Please let me know what else I can do, we are happy to help.
