Frequently Asked Questions
Is this a complete set of construction plans?
These plans are a full set of scaled architectural drawings, ready to submit to a local builder or shown to an inspector. As with any building plans, you may be required by the inspector to make changes for your local codes and requirements. Your license covers one project per plan set. Within that project you can copy and modify the plans as much as you need, for your builder, your subs and the building department.
How long do my plans take to arrive?
Delivery time for PDF files should be less than 24 hours after placing an order, but often much quicker. Files are sent as an email attachment to the email address on file with PayPal unless another address was provided.
How much is shipping?
Shipping is free on paper plan orders to the US and Canada. Every paper set goes out by the quickest tracked service available at the time we ship it, usually USPS Priority Mail. The exact service can vary with the destination. For orders outside the US and Canada, please contact us before ordering and we will work out the best shipping option for your address.
Do you do modifications?
We don’t offer individualized design services. When it comes to making significant changes to the plans, working with a local builder or engineer is usually the best option. Our forum is definitely worth exploring. Asking for recommendations at your local building supply company is a great way to start finding people (engineers/builders/architects). Lots of folks build by using our plans as a starting point, and then working with someone local to make sure they’re up to code.
What’s your licensing policy?
One project per plan set. Within that project you can copy and modify the plans as much as you need, for your builder, your subs and the building department. Please do not resell or give away copies of your plans. You can modify the plans either by making changes to the files or by redrawing them, but the copies still need to have the CountryPlans copyright information.
