Archplanest home plans come in an extremely wide range of
qualities from an extremely wide range of sources. Many designers who offer
stock plans for sale sell only the design; your documents are meant to be
completed by a local professional, and do not include much of the basic
information needed to actually construct the home. We strongly advise that you
consult your local building official to verify what you will need to submit for
your building permit before you make a plan purchase. We pride ourselves on
setting our product apart from the crowd: each set of home plans that we offer
will provide you with all the necessary information to build your home. Our
plans come detailed to meet the latest International Residential Code, and
include gravity loading calcs and beam specifications as needed for the home's
design. If you're considering a plan purchase from elsewhere, be sure they are
providing what you really need.
Archplanest’s House Plan Sets Include:
Exterior Elevations: In addition to the front
exterior, your drawing set will include drawings of the rear and sides of your
house as well. These drawings give notes on exterior materials and finishes.
Particular attention is given to cornice detail, brick and stone accents, or
other finish items that make your home unique.
Note: Sections and Elevations depict the default foundation,
regardless of optional foundation page choices
Foundation Plan: The foundation
page dimensions, concrete walls, footings, pads, posts, beams, bearing walls,
and any stepped foundation information along with any retaining wall info
(schematic only). A typical wall section for the home is also usually included
on this page (if not, it is elsewhere in your plan set, as space allows). If
your plan features a poured concrete slab rather than a basement or crawlspace,
the foundation page shows footings and details for the slab, and includes
plumbing locations.
Floor Plan(s): Exterior and interior wall
framing, and windows/doors are dimensioned. Room sizes are indicated and any
beams, posts and structural bearing points are called out. The floorplans
include an electrical legend, and electrical fittings, lights and outlets are
shown. Floor Plans will also indicate cross–section details (provided on the
sections page) and show any special framing details applicable to the design.
Cabinet elevations are included for kitchen and bathrooms; some designs feature
cabinet elevations for design–related built–ins too.
Building Sections: Building sections show changes in floor, ceiling, or
roof height, and the relationship of one level to another. Our section pages
also show how the stairs are calculated (if there are some!) and depict roof
and foundation members. We try and draw sections to show the most useful
information — choosing locations where there are elements you or your
contractor might need clarification on.
Note: Sections and Elevations depict the default foundation,
regardless of optional foundation page choices
Roof Plan: Roof framing or truss directions
are shown, slope directions are indicated and structural members are sized and
called out if applicable. The gravity loads used to calculate the rafters,
beams and posts are indicated , and we also show gutters, downspouts, and any
roof venting required for your home.
Notes and Details Page(s): Your home comes detailed to meet
the requirements of the latest adopted version of the ‘Local Authorities’, and
our notes and details pages outline all the elements applicable to the design
of your home. Compliance with further standards may need to be incorporated
into your plan set, depending the requirements of your building department —
these are usually done locally.
Beam Detail Pack: Archplaest home plans come with all the
gravity detailing used in the design of your home, upon request (Not all
building departments require them; please ask if you would like them included).
Our plans do not come with seismic, wind or other site specific engineering
calculations; we have engineers we work with to provide those to you at
additional cost, or you are free to source your own engineer locally.
In addition to the items included in our house plan
packages, there may be additional items you need to submit for a building
permit with your local building department.
