What Else You Will Need:

Since every site is different you will need to hire a local structural engineer to design the foundation and perform inspections during construction. Unique soil conditions, topography and tree locations will influence the site planning and foundation design. Your general contractor should be able to recommend qualified engineers. You will also need to locate the building on your site plan and apply for a building permit from your local jurisdiction. We are available to provide site planning services and permits can be obtained through a permit expeditor or a local builder. For an additional fee we can make minor revisions to the designs. Minor revisions may include flipping the plans, moving a window, door, or a wall. Please reach out to us for an estimate for these services. Purchasing these plans gives you the right to build one house. This is a “single use” license. Please talk to us about purchasing the rights to a multi-unit license at a discounted fee.
