Important Notes for Our Customers
It is important, before ordering plans, to check with your local Building Official and Zoning Dept. for requirements and restrictions regarding permit submittal for your proposed construction. You will need a site plan and, possibly, other information, in addition to the planset, for obtaining a building permit. Some states and localities may require the professional review and stamp of a locally licensed Engineer or Architect for all work drawings. California, Florida, New York, Washington and other coastal states may have beyond "normal" requirements for wind, seismic and snow conditions. Check with your local Building Official for local requirements.
Our plansets are sold one (1) construction use only. Repetitive use of the plansets is prohibited under current copyright laws unless specific written permission is provided by Medeek Design.
Please check all relevant dimensions before ordering plans. It is also recommended that building permit be obtained before commencing with any construction activities, including foundations and site excavation.
