House Plan Modifications

The Construction Drawings, Design Views, and Specifications are an integral part of your project. Providing a higher level of detail in your plans can minimize errors and eliminate scheduling and budget overruns. Making the plans a part of your Construction Contract with your Builder, so that your vision for the project will be referenced directly from that contract. Thus it is imperative that these Drawings are correct and accurately include any decisions or selections you may have made, in order to prevent any discrepancies. Should there be any discrepancy between the Client and Builder during construction, regarding the inclusion or exclusion of an item, it’s incorporation into the Drawings may decide who bears the cost.
With this in mind, we developed the Plans & Drawings Checklist as a way to determine the types of Drawings and level of detail based on the client’s needs and experience. Multiple types of individual Design Views are noted below as part of different Plan Sheets, any of which may be used on a particular project, and their inclusion and level of detail will be noted in the contract. Some of the Drawings listed below contain more than one type Design View as most Plan Sheets will have more than one type of Design View per page. The description refers to the Design View contained within the Plan Sheet.
