Previous Q & A
Previous Questions and Answers
Q:Can a vaulted ceiling be added to the dining & living room? What is the maximum pitch of the roof? Vault? Where is the electrical box located? Can 36" doors be used?
A:Yes, the ceiling in the living room can be vaulted, this could be done using either scissor trusses or parallel chord trusses. The roof pitch is a 6/12 pitch. Scissor trusses would give you a 3/12 ceiling pitch, parallel chord trusses would give you a 6/12 pitch.
The electrical box (panel) can be located wherever your electrician determines is the best location depending on where the electricity is coming onto your property.
36” doors can be used but it would require some framing adjustments to allow for casing around the doors.
Q:If I order CAD, do I get a PDF with it?
A:Yes, with no extra fee. Thank you
Q:What are the interior door widths?
A:The interior door widths are 30”
Q:What program(s) will your CAD file work on?
A:The CAD files are sent as .dwg files, so any program that can edit this type of file will work, which is almost all CAD programs. If you have a specific program you would like to use let us know and we can confirm compatibility.
Q:Do the plans meet 2015 IRC prescriptive? Does it meet a 25 pound snow load?
A:The plans are currently designed to a 35 pound roof snow load.
The plans are designed to meet the basic requirements of the IRC, but as with all stock plans may require review by a local professional to add any notes or details required for any specific states requirements.
Q:Do you have a sample from any plan so I can get an idea of what to expect?
A:Our plans include the following and are drawn to 1/4 inch scale
Foundation page
Floor plan page
Electrical
4 elevations
Cross Section
Wall Details
Roof layout
Cover sheet shows the front 3d rendering
Q:Do your plans include framing plans for walls, floor and roof?
A:The plans are standard construction and permit drawings intended for use by a professional builder who would understand standard framing techniques. The floor plans show the dimensioned placement of all walls, as well as the floor and roof member spans and locations. The plans do not show individual framing members such as studs or floor joists. The roof system is designed using trusses, the specifications and layout of the trusses is provided by the truss supplier. Wall framing is standard 2x6 studs spaces at 16” on center, framing over and around windows and doors is standard framing with trimmers, headers, and jack studs. The cross sections and wall sections provide further framing details, as well the general construction notes provide information about nail spacing and other framing details. If you require more detailed framing plans so that you can do your own framing rather than hiring a professional, these drawings can be provided for an additional fee, we can provide an estimate for you if you wish.
