jgilbert4185 Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 I have what I think is a reasonably complete design done. I need to be able to generate elevations with measurements to send to my SIP fabricator for wall construction. When I generate elevations from my design it appears to me that some features visible on the views overlap parts of the walls. What I need to be able to produce is a buildable set of drawings for permits and construction. Any ideas? I've attached a drawing file if that would help. hickory hill v6.plan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
javatom Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 I hate to be the one to tell you this but that has a LONG way to go before it would be considered a buildable plan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joey_martin Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 What area of the country? Permit plans in California are far different than permit plans in my part of the country (Indiana). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kbird1 Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 Are you looking to pay someone to help you ( what the Seeking Forum is for) or are you just asking for some help? , in which case you would be better off over in the Q&A Forum ...with a better explanation of the issues and perhaps some screen grabs of them too , as I don't see anything obvious in the supplied Plan. You should do your Forum Signature too , as people will need to know the Software and Version you are using especially.

jgilbert4185 Posted February 8, 2019 Author Share Posted February 8, 2019 l'd like to discuss the costs of someone turning my design into a fully buildable set of drawings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rpadge Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 I dont see the issue your speaking about on the elevations, it looks to be a reasonably complete model, although probably does need some work to make it a set of appropriate construction documents. Like Joey said, really depends on where you are building and what they will require. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DG1949 Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 Anywhere the I.R.C is used, it's pretty standard to do a fully dimensioned floorpan of each level at min. 1/4" scale, four directional (NESW) exterior elevations, with story-pole dimensions, and as many structural "section" elevations (with framing elements (and maybe their labels) turned on as it takes to show the CEO how each section of the building will actually be built. (Rim joists, P.T. sill plates, sill-seal, anchor bolts with embedment dimensions, joist hangers, rafter hurricane ties, rebar in the foundation wall are examples.) That also entails dimensions and descriptive callouts that eliminate guesswork on the part of the CEO as to what he is actually looking at, and re-assure the Inspector that you have a competent knowledge of the code to which you are building. If you don't specify it, the builder could use his own imagination, citing your plans (or lack thereof) and the battle would begin. No CEO wants to deal with that scenario.

lbuttery Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 If you don't specify it, the builder could use his own imagination this would be a concern for a homeowner that is creating plans to then have builders bid on if the homeowner has already selected a builder then its not an issue we did work for multiple builders in the DC Metro area for remodels and new homes our permit sets were aimed at providing the info the permit office needed to grant the permit the builders knew what they were doing and didn't need to be told how to do their job they submitted the plans with their signature/stamp - it was their responsibility to do it right we had a 100% success rate in having the plans accepted by the plan authorities the first time Lew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think any jurisdiction will allow a builder to just "use his imagination" Plan requirement vary greatly across the country, in our area (Atlanta, Ga. ) there are places that still don't even require a set of plans. That was my point to the OP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
