In most cases, small changes to the plans can be made directly with your contractors and suppliers. However, due to the detailed nature of my plans and the time required for alterations, I’m unable to accommodate customization requests at a reasonable cost.

My plans do not include an architect’s or engineer’s stamp. In my location (Minnesota, USA), most residential structures do not require them. However, if your local regulations do, I’m happy to collaborate with a local professional to provide the necessary information for stamping or signing the drawings.

Yes, my plans work for most locations within the United States. However, permitting offices often require additional documentation, such as a site plan, certificate of survey, or energy calculations. Please contact your local permitting office for a complete list of required materials.

Yes, for most locations within the United States. My plans comply with the 2020 IRC Building Code. However, because local requirements vary, I cannot account for every specific code in every location. For example, a home in Southern California won’t require snow load considerations, while a home in Minnesota won’t need earthquake protection.

At this time, I do not provide custom plans. My designs are carefully crafted to meet a wide range of needs and adhere to industry standards. While minor adjustments can often be made with your contractor’s input, due to the detailed nature of my plans and the time involved in creating custom designs, I am unable to offer fully customized plans.

My plans are professionally produced high-quality, code-compliant drawings crafted to meet industry standards and best practices—providing all the essential information without the unnecessary details. A detailed description of what I include can be found here: Understanding Building Plans.

Yes, you can certainly contact me if you have questions. However, for project-specific concerns, it's often best to consult with your local professionals, such as contractors or permit offices, as they will be most familiar with the specific requirements in your area. I'm happy to assist where I can, but local expertise will ensure the smoothest process.

Great question! I have created a ‘Roadmap’ of the entire cabin building process that should give a good understanding of what is involved in building your cabin. It can be found here: The Project Roadmap.
