Before
You Buy:
Check with your
local
Building
Department Jurisdiction to verify acceptance of the plans.
Verify
whether a permit is needed and whether a local engineer or architect
needs
to sign them. Verify what the local snow and wind loads are for your
area.
Check with your
local
Planning
Department. There are often, use, height, appearance, area,
material
or property set back limits that need to be addressed.
Verify type of soil
before building. Designs are based on having a suitable firm soil
material to build the foundation. See Building Code
