Previous Q & A

Previous Questions and Answers

Q: One of the q&a says that the roof load is 50 and another says 150. I assume that's just a type. Please confirm that it's 50.

A: It is 50.

Date Posted: 09-Mar-22

Q: Doesn't a roof style like this cause a kite effect with high wind storms? I would think it would be prone to roof wind damage?

A: House is designed with H2.5T Hurricane clips

Date Posted: 14-Sep-21

Q: Hello, what is the rain load for the roof? Can a spiral or ergonomic staircase be added for the loft space instead of the ladder? Is there enough room for it?

A: The roof is designed for 150lb snow load. You could substitute a spiral stair for the loft ladder is you’d like

Date Posted: 07-Jul-21

Q: Is this a stem wall slab? If not, can you quote to modify it to that?

A: This plan is a Stem Wall slab foundation

Date Posted: 28-Jun-21

Q: Where would the mechanical room (water heater and furnace) be?Is there a plumbing plan to go with the plans ? Where would either a gas fireplace or pipe chasing for a wood/pellet stove be best located in the family room. Thinking of wanting to secure upper floor from second floor so could a secure door be installed at the top of the stairway entering the kithchen. Could an 8 foot wide deck be extended from the plan deck around the side of the structure on the upstairs bedroom side of the reverse plan to about the length of the bedroom? Thinking for this plan for a high snowfall area requiring 150 lbs/ft2 snowloading. Does this plan meet that criteria? Finally what is the designed pitch of the roof and recommended crossbeam material for the three main crossbeams?

A: There is ample room in the garage for mechanical and water heater. I believe that the plans can be changed as you have described through our modification team. Please click on the Plan Modifications tab found on the details page for this specific plan. There you will find the options for how to contact the group that modifies this specific plan, and you will get a no-obligation quote for the change(s).

Date Posted: 08-Mar-21

Q: Hello, Can you build this on the CA Sierra's and does the plan include information for snow loads and seismic activity? Thank you

A: Yes! It’s designed to meet IRC codes. The roof is designed for 50lb snow loads. You will need a local professional to ensure it meets your local seismic needs.

Date Posted: 10-Feb-21

Q: How large are the roof overhangs? They look to be about 30".

A: They are 36” and can be set at your preference in the field

Date Posted: 15-Jan-21

Q: Can the snow load be increased to 100 lbs sq ft? Is that simply a matter of increasing the size of the rafters and decreasing the spacing between them? And maybe increasing the size of the walls where the beams go to distribute the weight?

A: You can go to 100lbs by increasing the rafter size. The wall size should not need to change, but you may need to resize some window headers. Your local lumberyard can help with that.

Date Posted: 15-Jan-21

Date Posted: 30-Dec-20

Q: would it be possible to replace the garage door with a people door? Where is the boiler, furnace, AC, the utility room? Would this design work for radiant under slab heat? Where would the washer and dryer go?

A: It was designed to carry 50lb snow load.

Date Posted: 02-Sep-20

Q: Hi I'm interested on this model plan, is there an option for a fireplace? If yes, where would it be the location or possible locations?

A: We do not have the plan with a fireplace, but it could go anywhere you want. I suggest a wood burning stove, as it will require the least amount of space. With it you really wouldn’t need us to make modifications. Just install in the field.

Date Posted: 13-Aug-20

Q: Does the materials list include the exterior siding and the exterior sheathing?

A: Yes it will

Date Posted: 20-Jul-20
