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, material
or property set back limits that need to be addressed.

before building. Designs are based on having a suitable firm soil
material to build the foundation.

and 2 sets of the structural calculations. This is normally enough
for building departments. They will return one set of each back to
