You'll be surprised at how much space your family will have inside this home, which can fit beautifully onto a compact lot. After entering through the graceful wraparound porch, you'll see the private study off the foyer, as well as the half bath. Directly ahead,the great room and dining area flow into the large kitchen, where an island adds space for food prep and casual meals. Upstairs, the vaulted master suite stretches across the entire width of the home and offers a huge master bath, a walk-in closet, and two sinks. Two additional bedrooms and a hall bath are also on the second level. The real surprise of this home is the immense game room with a wet bar. The home also displays a two-car, front entry garage with a large storage area in the rear that could easily function as a workshop area.

• Exterior Elevations
  
  In addition to the front exterior, your drawing set will include drawings of the rear and sides of your house as well. These drawings give notes on exterior materials and finishes. Particular attention is given to cornice detail, brick and stone accents, or other finish items that make your home unique.


• Foundation Plan
  
  The foundation page dimensions, concrete walls, footings, pads, posts, beams, bearing walls, and any stepped foundation information along with any retaining wall info (schematic only). A typical wall section for the home is also usually included on this page (if not, it is elsewhere in your plan set, as space allows). If your plan features a poured concrete slab rather than a basement or crawlspace, the foundation page shows footings and details for the slab, and includes plumbing locations. If you choose the optional Slab foundation, the slab foundation will not be reflected in the plan sections.


• Floor Plan(s)
  
  Exterior and interior wall framing, and windows/doors are dimensioned. Room sizes are indicated and any beams, posts and structural bearing points are called out. The floorplans include an electrical legend, and electrical fittings, lights and outlets are shown. Floor Plans will also indicate cross–section details (provided on the sections page) and show any special framing details applicable to the design. Cabinet elevations are included for kitchen and bathrooms; some designs feature cabinet elevations for design–related built–ins too.


• Building Sections
  
  Building sections show changes in floor, ceiling, or roof height, and the relationship of one level to another. Our section pages also show how the stairs are calculated (if there are some!) and depict roof and foundation members. We try and draw sections to show the most useful information — choosing locations where there are elements you or your contractor might need clarification on.


• Roof Plan
  
  Roof framing or truss directions are shown, slope directions are indicated and structural members are sized and called out if applicable. The gravity loads used to calculate the rafters, beams and posts are indicated , and we also show gutters, downspouts, and any roof venting required for your home.


• Notes and Details Page(s)
  
  Your home comes detailed to meet the requirements of the latest adopted version of the ‘International Residential Code’, and our notes and details pages outline all the elements applicable to the design of your home. Compliance with further standards may need to be incorporated into your plan set, depending the requirements of your building department — these are usually done locally.
