If you order one of our stock plans from our website, you will be given a PDF of a plan set. That plan set will include a cover page, floor plan views, elevation views, full section views, foundation plan views, floor and roof framing layout plan views, electrical plan views, and some typical details. A professional stamp is not attached on our plans. If your building department requires a stamp, they will only accept it from a professional licensed in the state where you plan to build your home. In this case, you will need to have your house plans reviewed by a local engineer or architect for stamping.

ONE TIME ONLY. When you purchase one of our plans, it entitles you to build the house only once. If you are planning to build the house multiple times, you will need to contact us directly to obtain the proper Re-use license.

Some cities and states require that a licensed Architect or Engineer review and seal a set of home plans prior to construction due to concerns over energy costs, safety and other factors. We recommend, prior to application for a building permit or the start of construction, that you consult with a local building official who can tell you if a review and professional seals are required.

Our plans are designed to meet the national building (IRC 2018) code standards from the time and place where the plan was designed, but plans are not generally updated for any specific jurisdiction. Some jurisdictions may have their own code requirements, but most jurisdictions have adopted the national building (IRC 2018) code.
