Important Notice Regarding House Plans

Our house plans in conjunction with our partners were
designed to meet industry standard building and residential codes at the time
they were drawn. Many states, counties, or municipalities have their own
specific building codes, regulations, and zoning requirements and as a result
of the variety of code requirements, we do not guarantee that our plans
will meet your local building requirements
. You may be required to obtain
supplemental documents to your house plans with a builder, engineer, or
designer to meet local conditions and requirements. The purchaser should ensure
that their plans comply with all applicable building codes and are suitable for
a particular building site, including any subdivision restrictions, before
construction begins. Because we have no control over the selection of your
builder or other local professionals, we cannot be responsible for the advice
or assistance you receive from them or the methods they use.
