Q:On this plan is there a wall section or detail for brick veneer or is it only dryvit?
A:This plan shows a brick veneer so the wall section will reflect that.
Q:What is the roof drainage plan? Is it an overview? I need to figure out the roof framing.
A:Roof drainage is a "bird's eye" view of the roof. Roof framing plans are not included since they are specific to each location. These are generally not necessary unless required by your code office.
Q:What is the height and width of the garage door openings? Our vehicles don’t fit in “standard” size openings because of modifications.
A:The garage doors are 9' wide and 8' tall.
Q:Does the plan show a brick ledge?
A:This plan is designed with a chainwall slab foundation. Therefore, the brick will rest on the footing below grade.
Q:I need to know if a 10’ ceiling is measured from finished ceiling to finished floor before I proceed with purchasing a set of plans. I need to know from the designer if I change the ceiling height on the plan from 10’ to 9’ if that truly means the ceiling will be 9’ from finished surface to the finished surface of the floor?
A:10' or 9' ceilings heights depend on the interior finishes that you use. Standard building practice is to frame walls with pre-cut studs that allow for ceiling finishes and floor coverings. For example....a 10' stud is 116-5/8" tall. This allows for a 1-1/2" sill plate, two 1-1/2" top plates, 1/2" flooring, and 5/8" drywall for the ceiling. Depending on what finishes you use, the ceiling height may not be EXACTLY 10'. Your builder will know what to do if you change the ceiling heights from 10' to 9'.
Q:I was trying to figure out what the kitchen island dimensions are
A:4'X8' Island dimensions
Q:Beautiful home plan. We love the interior brick work. Is it real brick or brick veneer? We're trying to do something similar. Thank you.
A:Thank you. The brick can be either of those options. The plan shown is built on a slab foundation and shows actual brick, but if you are building on a crawlspace or basement, you could use brick veneers to reduce floor loads.
Q:What are the dotted lines representing across the great room and the screen porch?
A:These represent beams that will be visible below the ceiling line.
Q:Can upstairs bonus room be extended toward rear of house (over master) ? Also, is ceiling height in bonus area restricted along side walls?
A:The headroom over the master will be very restricted due to a different roof configuration. The framing over this area would also have to be re-designed which would further restrict headroom. This would leave very little useable space over that area. As for the walls in the current bonus space....they are 5' tall and the ceiling slopes up to 9'.
Q:Can this built in a light red brick?
A:The colors, fixtures, finishes, etc. are not specified in the plans. These are left to the owner's discretion.
