Question: Is it possible to get a cost-to-build estimate for this plan after the plan has been modified? Plan 80-117.
Answer: It can, but by the time you get the plan, you might as well go straight to your builder and have the actual drawings priced out.
Question: One other thing; I plan on building 2X6 walls on thins house. Do the plans need any adjustments? I've got my builder looking at tthe plans also.
Answer: Very minor. In most cases, your builder can change any notation of 2' x 4' to 2' x 6'
Question: i would like to see the roofing details(section)
Answer: I'm sorry but that is only available with a plan purchase.
Question: Plan 80-117 - we would like a basement. Where would you locate the stairs to the basement?
Answer: Hello and thank you for your inquiry. The stairs can be conveniently placed in a low traffic area, suggestions could be on the left side of the great room near the fireplace with the entry going down from the hall near the bedroom or along the powder room and bedroom #3 with the entry near the foyer. This plan currently does not come with a basement foundation and would require a modifcation. You have two options, you can purchase the plans as a Reproducible Master or AutoCAD format and have your local professional modify the plans or you can click the "Modify this Plan" tab. This will walk you through the process of ordering a modification quote. We will forward your request to the designer and get back to you with a quote to make the changes. The $50.00 fee will be credited to you if you choose to proceed.
In addition to the house plans you order, you may also need a site plan that shows
where the house is going to be located on the property. You might also need beams
sized to accommodate roof loads specific to your region. Your home builder can usually
help you with this. You may also need a septic design unless your lot is served by a
sanitary sewer system. Many areas now have area-specific energy codes that also have
to be followed. This normally involves filling out a simple form providing documentation
that your house plans are in compliance.

What’s Included?
In some regions, there is a second step you will need to take to insure your house plans
are in compliance with local codes. Some areas of North America have very strict
engineering requirements. Examples of this would be earthquake-prone areas of California
and the Pacific Coast, hurricane risk areas of the Florida, Gulf & Carolina Coasts. New
York, New Jersey, Nevada, and parts of Illinois require review by a local professional
as well. If you are building in these areas, it is most likely you will need to hire a
state licensed structural engineer to analyze the design and provide additional drawings
and calculations required by your building department. If you aren’t sure, building
departments typically have a handout they will give you listing all of the items they
require to submit for and obtain a building permit.
Additionally, stock plans do not have a professional stamp attached. If your building
department requires one, they will only accept a stamp from a professional licensed in
the state where you plan to build. In this case, you will need to take your house plans
to a local engineer or architect for review and stamping. In addition, plans which are
used to construct homes in Nevada are required to be drawn by a licensed Nevada architect.
