Our home plans and specifications met or exceeded local, state and national code requirements in force when and where the house was originally built. Each county and state in the United States has its own building codes and regulations. Your plan may need to be modified to comply with local requirements regarding energy codes, soil and seismic conditions, wind loads, snow loads, and a wide range of other matters, and you may need to obtain permits from, and allow inspections by, local government agencies before and during construction. Some counties and states also require you to have a licensed structural engineer or architect review and affix a "wet" seal to your plans prior to construction.

The foundation drawings included in each set of plans we market were originally created by an architect or an engineer for a specific plot of land, in a specific county, and therefore they may need to be modified for your building site. Soil, climate, and potential natural disasters (floods, hurricanes, earthquakes, etc.), along with your local codes and regulations, can affect any foundation design. Be sure to have your foundation plans reviewed and, if necessary, modified by a structural engineer in your area before the start of construction , even if your local officials don't require that you do so.

Home Construction Management

We take pride in the fact that we are not just a construction manager but have retained the in-house capacity as a contractor-builder to execute very significant segments of our projects with our own work force. Our experienced project managers, superintendents and skilled tradesmen are capable of controlling site progress as well as implementing stringent cost-control policies.
