Exterior Elevations
In addition to the front exterior, your drawing set will include drawings of the rear and sides of your house as well. These drawings give notes on exterior materials and finishes. Particular attention is given to cornice detail, brick and stone accents, or other finish items that make your home unique.
Note: Sections and Elevations depict the default foundation, regardless of optional foundation page choices
Foundation Plan
The foundation page dimensions, concrete walls, footings, pads, posts, beams, bearing walls, and any stepped foundation information along with any retaining wall info (schematic only). A typical wall section for the home is also usually included on this page (if not, it is elsewhere in your plan set, as space allows). If your plan features a poured concrete slab rather than a basement or crawlspace, the foundation page shows footings and details for the slab, and includes plumbing locations.
Floor Plan(s)
Exterior and interior wall framing, and windows/doors are dimensioned. Room sizes are indicated and any beams, posts and structural bearing points are called out. The floorplans include an electrical legend, and electrical fittings, lights and outlets are shown. Floor Plans will also indicate cross–section details (provided on the sections page) and show any special framing details applicable to the design. Cabinet elevations are included for kitchen and bathrooms; some designs feature cabinet elevations for design–related built–ins too.
Building Sections
Building sections show changes in floor, ceiling, or roof height, and the relationship of one level to another. Our section pages also show how the stairs are calculated (if there are some) and depict roof and foundation members. We try and draw sections to show the most useful information — choosing locations where there are elements you or your contractor might need clarification on.
Note: Sections and Elevations depict the default foundation, regardless of optional foundation page choices
Roof Plan
Roof framing or truss directions are shown, slope directions are indicated and structural members are sized and called out if applicable. The gravity loads used to calculate the rafters, beams and posts are indicated , and we also show gutters, downspouts, and any roof venting required for your home.
Notes and Details Page(s)
Your home comes detailed to meet the requirements of the latest adopted version of the ‘International Residential Code’, and our notes and details pages outline all the elements applicable to the design of your home. Compliance with further standards may need to be incorporated into your plan set, depending on the requirements of your building department — these are usually done locally.

Q:Thank you very much for the information and plans you sent. I have another question --- This property is going to be built in the snow area. Do you think this home would lend itself to a sloped roof modification considering where it will be built?
A:Hello
I did talk to a designer and they suggest not to use this plan if you're building in a high snow area. Option 1240B would be better.
Cheers!
Dm
Q:Hello - I need to know the total area of the roof line, to make sure the total covered area does not exceed 3600/sf. Can you confirm? Thank you.
A:The under roof sq footage is 3903 sq. feet for plan 1240..
Q:Can you please tell me what size lot would be needed for this home?

Q:What time of roofing works best with this house?
A:The roofing for this house is a waterproof membrane type roofing system.
Q:Good morning, what is the roof pitch? Also could you please clarify which the direction the pitch runs? From the renderings it appears the left and right wings run high in the front and low at the back. Is the main roof plane the same or the reverse? Great plan!
A:Hello -
The roof pitch on plan 81203 is 1/12. Attached is a screenshot of the roof page that shows the direction of the roof slope.
Q:PDF File for $1,465 does not allow you to import into CAD and make changes...correct?

A:Our plans do not use ICF. The walls are wood framed.
Q:I am in the Hvac business and am very interested in building this house in the Tampa,. Florida area.

Thank you for your interest in this plan.The house is designed on a crawlspace foundation and ducting is intended to run through the crawlspace.
