The trend in home design is building one-story homes avoiding costly bump-outs and irregular shapes . Attic areas should be utilized for maximum R60 insulation instead of living spaces with dormers which also adds to increased construction cost and a less energy-efficient home. Designerswest provides design/drafting services for drawing up a set of plans for your detached garage, cabin or one-story house based on your rough floor plan sketch. You will receive a full set of 18 x 24 reproducible drawings along with a free Energy-Saving checklist listing 100 features the owner/builder should consider before construction begins.
Your plans will include: general specifications 3D color overview side views foundation plan, floor plan electrical plan roof framing plan wall section detail footing detail wind resistant details window/door sizes typical construction details estimated materials list HVAC plans are not included as this information is best determined by local technicians familiar with local code and climate conditions. While our plans follow the generally accepted IRC building code, they may have to be modified or approved by a Architect, Designer or Building Official to comply with your local building code requirements based on snow loads, wind loads, bearing soil pressure and seismic zone requirements.
