What's In a Set of Plans

Each set of plans contains the following sheets:

​

Floor Plans

  • Floor plans at 1⁄4" = 1'-0" scale in most cases; indicating location of frame and masonry walls, support members, doors, windows, plumbing fixtures, cabinets, shelving, ceiling conditions and notes deemed relevant to this plan.

​

Exterior Elevations

  • All elevations at 1⁄4" = 1'-0" scale in most cases. Drawing will indicate overall configuration of home at each side view and make note of plate heights, roof overhangs, window header heights, roof pitches, materials used and extent to which they are used.

​

Building Sections

  • 1⁄4" = 1'-0" building sections, in most cases, are included when there is no other reasonable way to indicate the volumetric/height conditions in the home. Most of this information can usually be determined from the exterior elevations.

​

Framing Plans

  • Framing plans at 1⁄4"-1'-0" scale in most cases; indicating size and spacing of members as well as bracing and blocking required for structural purposes. Local codes will most likely need to be consulted.

​

Foundation Plans

  • Foundation plans at 1⁄4" = 1'-0" in most cases; indicating location of structural walls, grade beams, reinforcing steel and structural columns. Consulting a local engineer is advisable as well as is analysis of soil conditions on site.

​

Electrical Plans

  • Electrical plans at 1⁄4" 1'-0" scale in most cases; indicating location and types of electrical fixtures, switches, outlets, and how they are to be switched. Plans do not include circuiting or wire sizing. Plans may also include specialty items such as hose bibs, gas connections, location of a/c equipment, return air vents or other mechanical/electrical/plumbing items which need to be located.
