A:The wall at the bonus room in the basement that runs from left to right is a bearing wall, the wall that runs from front to back at the bonus room is not a bearing wall but has a post in the wall supporting the load of the balcony over the kitchen. The actual height of the house from the finished grade at the front of the house to the peak of the roof ridge is 34’-6 5/8” (10.53 meters).
Q:What is the maximum ridge height from the basement floor to the ridge on this plan? Thanks
A:The measurement from the top of basement slab to the peak of the roof ridge is 33’-11”.
Q:I am looking to build myself and get some prelim materials pricing so I can see how much I can afford. Is there a way for me to purchase a materials list before purchasing the entire plan?

A:The second floor walls are 8’, the vaulted ceilings in the bedroom reach a height of 11’ at the peak, the walls slope up with the vaulted ceiling. On the balcony the ceiling slopes from the floor up. There are no knee walls on the second floor.
Q:Do you have a version of this plan that is only the main floor - no basement and no upstairs? What is the width and depth without the porches?
A:The similar plans we have are:
Plan 99962 that is without the walk-out basement, it does however have the second floor loft. Without the porches it is 30’ wide by 46’ deep.
Plan 99961 is 30’ wide by 42’ deep without the porches.
Q:The basement -is the wall separating the front and back area load bearing or can it be removed and perhaps columns be used instead for more of an open concept.”
A:Currently all the basement walls are acting as bearing walls, it is possible for these walls to be replaced by posts and beams.

Q:On the main level floor system designed to be stick built or for trusses
A:The plans are designed for stick frame over the main floor living area and trusses over the second floor. A truss company could do parallel chord trusses over the main floor if trusses are preferred, in most cases the would be able to provide the truss drawings for that.
Q:Can this plan be modified to include a single car drive under garage? What are the ceiling heights and is or can the master bed be vaulted? Also, what is the unfinished square footage and the snow load?
A:Yes, a single car garage could be added to the left side of the basement, the stairs are on the right side so it cannot be on that side. There would need to be some slight modifications to the structural supports in the basement, but this could be done by using beams. The ceilings are 8’ on all floors. There is a vaulted ceiling in the main floor living area and a vaulted ceilings in the master bedroom. The unfinished basement area is 1269 sq.ft. The plans are currently designed for a 50 lb. roof snow load.

A:The plan is designed with roof joists, they can be modified to parallel trusses if preferred.
This can be done by your truss manufacturer.

A:Yes all decks are included but not the steps down from the side deck.

A:It is an unfinished basement with the stairs located under the main floor stairs with a center beam and bearing wall down the center.
Q:What building code and year are these plans designed to?
Wanted to check snow load and wind speed.
A:Thank you for the inquiry about our plan number 99961, the plans are designed for a roof snow load of 50 p.s.f., the plans are designed to meet IRC code requirements in the US as well as NBCC requirements in Canada. The building is designed for normal wind loads, any snow or wind loads outside of what is specified in the codes mentioned would require review of the plans by a local professional engineer. Most ski hill or high snow or wind load areas usually require an engineer anyways, so this is not unusual.
