Plans include all of the drawings typically needed for construction, except for site specific information and heating or cooling requirements. Each building department's requirements for plan submission vary. We recommend that you contact the building official in your area for their specific requirements.
Front Elevation
All plans include the front elevation at 1/4" or 3/16" and the sides and rear elevations at 1/8" scale. These elevations show and note the exterior finished materials of the house.

Every plan is available with a walkout style basement (three masonry walls and one wood framed rear wall with windows and doors). The basement plans are a 1/4" or 3/16" scale layout of unfinished spaces showing only the necessary 2 x 6 wood framed load bearing walls. These plans are completed with dimensions, notes, and door/window sizes. Crawl space and/or slab on grade foundations are available for some plans. All foundation types are not available for all plans.

The building sections are drawings which take vertical cuts through the house and the stairs showing floor, ceiling and roof height information.

These drawings give basic information that can be used to create customized layouts with a cabinet manufacturer.

Previous Q & A
Previous Questions and Answers
Q:Can you tell me what the basement ceiling height would be on this plan?
A:The plan has a 9 ft. basement ceiling height.
Q:The size listed for the grand room of 18.6 by 19.5, is that inclusive of the kitchen? If it is, what are the dimensions of the living area considering the end of the island on the living room side to the far wall of the living room?
A:The 18'-6" X 19'-5" dimension is of the Grand Room only and does not include the kitchen - the 18'-6" dimension will be from the left exterior wall at the Grand Room and go to the wall to the left of the refrigerator. The Kitchen dimensions are 11'-0" X 17'-5". Generally speaking our living area dimensions will never include the kitchen area.
Q:What does home management mean on this floor plan? Is it an office space or is it where heating and cooling would be stored? Is there an attic? Do you have an pictures of an actual home or rendering of what it looks like on the inside? I’m particularly curious about the foyer layout with the steps off to the side look like, as well as the home management space and the general combinations of grand room, kitchen and dining room. Thanks!
A:The home management room is like an office space, it has counters and a kitchen sink in the room, but could also be used as an office if preferred. There is attic space accessible from a pull down staircase upstairs, or accessed from the optional bonus room. We do not have any pictures of this house plan at this time as this is a newer plan that has been out less than a year. Hopefully once people begin to finish building this home we will have pictures to share!
Q:Will you show the basic basement layout?
A:Our basement plans are all unfinished walk out style basements. They will reflect the floor plan of the first floor. Please let me know if you have any questions.
