Construction blueprints are detailed, clear and concise. All blueprints are designed by a home designer and each home plan is designed to meet the International Residential Code at the time and place that particular home building plan was drawn.
The blueprints for most home designs include the following elements, but the presentation of these elements may vary depending on the size and complexity of the home or plan purchased
Exterior Elevations: Show the front, rear and sides of the house, including exterior materials, details and measurements.
Foundation Plans: Include drawings for a standard full basement. All necessary notations and dimensions are included. (Foundation options will vary for each plan. If the home you want does not have the type of foundation you desire, contact Beyond Basics to discuss your options.)
Electrical Layouts: Electrical plans should be designed based on your needs with your electrician. Builders will normally allow an allowance for this work included in their estimate.
Detailed House Floor Plans: Show the placement of interior walls and the dimensions for rooms, doors, windows, stairways, etc., of each level of the house.
Plumbing & Heating: Due to regional variations, local availability of materials, local codes, methods of installation, and individual preferences, it is impossible to include detail on heating and plumbing work on your plans. The duct work, venting, and other details will vary depending on the type of heating and cooling system (forced air, hot water, electric, solar) and the type of energy (gas, oil, electricity, solar) that you use. These details and specifications are easily obtained from your builder, contractor, and/or local suppliers.
Although Beyond Basics makes every effort to ensure the accuracy of our plan information, we reserve the right to make corrections on our floor plans and/or elevations if changes occur.

Purchaser agrees to comply with all local codes and building regulations. The house plans featured on Beyond Basics web site comply with national
recognized building codes in effect at the time they were drawn. Because local and state building regulations vary from region to region and are constantly changing, absolute conformance to purchaser's specific requirements is impossible.

Note that certain states require the services and seal of an architect or engineer registered in that state.
Purchaser agrees to check and verify all dimensions and materials before construction. Due to regional variations, Beyond Basics cannot and does not guarantee the availability of any materials or products suggested or specified on plans. Any discrepancies or questions must be reported to Beyond Basics prior to the start of construction.
