Study Sets

Sometimes you need to price out a home in order to get the sale, but you need the plan to get accurate bids. Our Study Set is one complete set of construction drawings, which is the exact same set we would send you if purchasing the design.

A Study Set is for study purposes only and is stamped, “Illegal to Build From – For Study Purposes Only.” It does not include our Construction License, and you cannot legally build a home from the Study Set. The Study Set purchase price is 100% applicable towards the purchase of the construction print(s) for that design.

Roof Framing Plan

*Plans are drafted to meet the Uniform Building Code or IRC (International Residential Code) at the time they are designed (contact us for more information). Because codes and requirements can change and may vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, the designers cannot warrant compliance with any specific code or regulation. All plans can be adapted to your local building codes and requirements. It is the responsibility of the purchaser and/or builder of each plan to see that the structure is built in strict compliance with all governing municipal codes (city, county, state, and federal).

** Excludes designs 9000 – 9xxx and 24000 – 24xxx. Carmichael & Dame Designs (9000 – 9xxx) and WL Martin Designs (24000 – 24xxx); designs come standard with a slab foundation. WL Martin Designs have basement and crawl space foundations available as optional items. Carmichael & Dame Designs have a basement foundation option. Crawl Space Foundations are considered a custom change item. Contact us for costs.
