Every city, municipality and county throughout the US has different building code requirements when it comes to new home construction. We recommend meeting with your local building officials prior to purchasing your plans in order to determine specific requirements for your area. Our plans were designed to meet more national building codes at the time that they were drawn; but it is important to keep in mind that many times states and counties do amend these codes. Due to these amendments, it is the responsibility of the purchaser and/or builder to ensure that the structure is built in a way that meets codes of the local area.
