House Plan 56700

A: The plans call for a 2640 casement window which would satisfy the requirements of the International Residential Code.

A: Good morning, The plans call for stick framed construction and not trusses. A storage space in the attic could be constructed, but would require the ceiling joists below to be upgraded to floor joists and the appropriate modifications made to the stairs to access the space.

A: Board and batten siding is specified. The manufacturer is up to the homeowner.

A: Approximately 5' x 5'.

A: We can certainly provide images for you to use. However, you would need to sign a marketing license agreement stating that the original design belongs to the home designer. There would also have to be verbiage on the images stating that the original plans are copyrighted by the designer.

A: 4'-0" X 8'-4"

A: Adding the 3rd car garage adds approximately 10-11 feet to the depth of the bonus room.

A: The plan shows board and batten siding. The brand is not specified as it is up to the homeowner to select finish materials.

A: The ceiling heights should be shown on the floorplan. Closets, halls, etc. will generally be the same height as the room they serve.

A: The side walls are approximately 5' tall and slope up to the 9' ceiling height.

A: Yes....the bonus room will also increase by the same dimensions as the garage (increase by 11').

A: Garage door is an 18' door....8' tall.

A: Unfortunately, there are no pictures with a three car option available.

A: Yes...the bonus room will enlarge by the same distance that the garage does.

A: Unfortunately we do not have a rendering for all of the additional options available. The front of the house will look the same with the exception of the front of the garage moving forward 11'.

A: The mechanical systems will be located by your mechanical contractor based on the systems that you install. Generally, the HVAC systems will be located in the attic space, but could be located in the basement if you choose that foundation option. The water heater might be located on the exterior of the house if you choose a tankless model, or could be located in the storage room if you choose a tank model. This is why the locations of these systems must be determined on site. Thanks!

A: The measurement includes the sloped ceiling areas. The side walls are approximately 5' tall, so they are still adequate for usable space. The window above the front door is simply for aesthetic purposes and does not access any space other than the attic.

A: All interior brick is decorative.

A: There is an abundance of attic space available over the entire plan. There might be room to have a short walk-in door from the bonus room, but right now the access is from an access panel in the stairwell. The ceilings will definitely be sloped since an attic is the space below the roof framing which is sloped.

A: The beams that you see in the photos are decorative, but there are structural beams above in the attic where needed. The bonus room will add 400 sf.

A: The rendering shows board and batten siding. There are many different manufacturers of this type of siding so it will be up to you to pick the exact product that fits within your preference and budget.

A: This is just a computer generated rendering and no specific manufacturer colors were used. It is just an artist's depiction of the home.

A: You are correct....plumbing is based entirely off of your site conditions. This is why plumbing drawings are not included. Typically the plans are fulfilled with only one foundation type. You can receive both as long as there are no other options selected. Otherwise the drawings would have to be amended for multiple foundations which would result in additional fees.

A: Attic space is available over all heated areas of the home. How much is used as storage is up to you. Access is from the bonus room stairwell.

A: The windows in question are for aesthetic purposes only and do not serve any living area of the design.

A: The bonus room will increase the same distance as the three car garage below. The three car option adds 11' to the depth which will be added to the bonus room as well.

A: So much of energy efficient home design comes down to the materials, appliances, and mechanical systems that are selected by the homeowner. Since the plans are not specifying the exact models, brands, or specs of these homeowner selected items, it will be better for you to work with your builder in order to achieve your energy efficiency goals.

A: A vaulted ceiling can be easily added. This is a simple change that your contractor can make on site or you can click the “Modifications” link to inquire as to a price and timeline.

A: Yes...a roof plan is provided in the construction drawings when purchasing the plan.

A: The exact material and finishes of the beams are not provided in the plans since these are owner-selected items. The beams in the brick openings are specified to be 12x12 and the beams in the great room are 8x8.

A: The reversal can be sent out the same day if ordering electronic files. However, if you add or subtract footage and change room sizes, this would be a modification, and you would need to submit a request by clicking the modifications link. Price and timeframe will depend on the complexity of the changes that you would like to make, but generally speaking modifications will take anywhere from 4-6 weeks.

A: There is no floor plan available for the basement since it is an unfinished basement. The basement area will include all areas under the heated (yellow shaded) space of the main floor.

A: Yes you can! Please click the "Modifications" tab above to get more information.
