ABOUT BUILDING CODES

Each plan is designed to be consistent with CABO One and Two Family Dwelling Code or the International Residential Code in effect at the time the plan was created, but DAG does not warrant such conformity. Modifications may be necessary to meet applicable building codes, ordinances, local climatic, and geographical design criteria. Consult a builder, architect or other construction professional as necessary. DAG Specifically disclaims any responsibility for ensuring the plans, and/or any house built using the plans, satisfies local or other applicable building codes. Determining and complying with all applicable codes is your responsibility. Manufacturer instructions should be followed for all materials, appliances, and systems. Heating/air conditioning layouts, plumbing pipe layouts, and electrical wiring layouts are not included.Consult a local mechanical contractor for systems suitable for local climate conditions.

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.

YOUR BEST VALUE

A Reproducible PDF plan set is ideal if you intend to make minor changes to a plan. It allows qualified architects and engineers to make changes, add/remove notes and reproduce prints without having to completely redraw plans or purchase additional sets. The Reproducible PDF allows for copies to be made of the plan and for the construction of the plan ONE time.

Full reverse plans, mirror images with right-reading letters, are available for most all of our plans.

A Materials List aids you in estimating the cost of materials by listing types and quantities of materials needed to build your house.

IMPORTANT! These plans are NOT RETURNABLE!

In this case, you will need to take your house plans to a local engineer or architect for review and stamping. If you aren't sure, building departments typically have a handout listing all of the items they require to submit to obtain a building permit.
