Can I build this plan multiple times? Yes. Although many designers limit you to one build, DanTyree.com lets you express yourself, and build an unlimited amount of times.
How do I print the CAD files? Through a local blueprinter, using these pen settings. Printing from the PDF file is much easier.
Will my plans meet the local codes where I am planning to build? All plans are drawn to meet the 110 mph code requirements in the State of Florida. There are many different specific local codes throughout the U.S. which will need to be addressed by a local engineer. An example would be the seismic requirements for a building to be constructed in an earthquake-prone location. The set of plans you purchase may need to be revised to meet location-specific requirements. In order to get a permit to build your home, you may also need a site plan showing where the house will be located on the property. We can provide site plans for an additional charge. Please contact us for specific pricing.
What about engineering? Most areas of the United States require a structural engineer to sign and seal the sets of drawings prior to permitting. Engineering for many states can be provided at an additional charge. Please contact us for specific pricing.
How much will my plan cost to build? Print this page, and talk to several builders in your construction area to get accurate estimates.
