IMPORTANT

All sales are final. Before ordering plans, you are strongly advised to consult with a local home builder or engineer, as well as your local building department.

All plans were designed to comply with the 2018 BC Building Code, relevant local bylaws and structural design loads (where applicable) in Nelson, B.C. at the time they were produced.  In other locations, modifications may be necessary to meet applicable building codes, bylaws and other requirements.

It is the Licensee’s responsibility to consult with local building professionals as required to determine that these documents meet all relevant local codes, ordinances/bylaws and regulations, etc., and are appropriate to specific site conditions. Compliance with such requirements shall take precedence over these documents.

All Plans are provided in PDF format and typically include:

• Cover sheet with sheet list and one or more 3D views of the design

• Exterior elevations of all sides showing exterior finishes, floor and overall building heights, estimated finished grades and footing depths.

• Foundation plan 

• Floor plans for each level 

• Details and/or sections    

• Window, door, and room schedules are also included on one of the pages, depending on where they fit.

Plans do not include:

• Material lists

• Plumbing, heating, or electrical drawings due to the wide variety of local codes, climatic conditions and individual preferences. These details tend to be pretty straight forward in a small home, and in most cases can be easily worked out directly with your contractor and local trade and building professionals.

• A Site plan 

• A professional stamp. Should this be required, you’ll have to take them to a local licensed architect or engineer to review and stamp the house plans at an additional cost.
