Customers often purchase a Study Plan for the purpose of examining the plan and/or reviewing it with their builder for cost estimates, to present to their HOA or ARB for approvals, to present to their lending institution for financing, and other due diligence.
When you're ready to build— Upgrade to a Build Package by simply paying the price difference between the Study Plan and Build Plan (if upgraded within 12 months).
Note: These packages are for evaluation purposes only and do not include a copyright release to construct the home. The Study Plan is provided in PDF format. Full size printed copies can be requested for an additional fee.
The Build Plan includes the full set of professionally prepared construction drawings needed for permitting, bidding, and building your home.
PDF PACKAGE
The PDF format is perfect if you don’t need to edit the plans using CAD software. If we are handling modifications for you, this is the recommended option.
DWG PACKAGE
The DWG format is an industry-wide format compatible with nearly all CAD software. Choose this option if you plan to have a third party make edits or modifications to the plans- such as a local engineer.
Upgrade: You can switch from PDF to DWG later by paying the price difference plus a small administration fee of $150.
