Description

BEST USE & PURPOSE

• These PDF files contain the floor plan, electrical plan, exterior elevations, foundation plan building section(s), architectural detail, and essential construction details of the house at 1/4″ Scale with thorough annotations and dimensions.
• They are intended for those who wish to construct the design who own land and have reviewed all of their requirements to build in their jurisdiction.
• When you open the file, it displays in PDF format and is viewable on a computer screen or other device capable of opening the document.
• Share viewing with other design professionals and general contractors to ensure that you cover all of your project parameters.
• When viewed or printed, these PDF files should allow general contractors to provide an estimate for the cost of construction.

FEATURES

• View the plan in detail to understand all of the features and how the design affects your budget.
• Grab the test PDF file here, and check it on your system so that you are sure that this product works for you.
• These files are printable and intended for permitting for use to build a single house. Please contact us if you wish to buy a license for multiple productions of the design.
• Mid Mod Pad designs follow typical construction practices for single-family dwellings across the United States. In some cases, you need to supplement additional documents for structural specifications, energy compliance, and utility infrastructure, for example.

BUY THIS IF

• You intend to build the design and want to obtain firm bids from general contractors.
• You are comfortable obtaining prints of architectural documents, which require large format printing. Documents are either 36×24 or 42×30 format and should be printed in black and white on bond. Search for “large format printers” in your region to find a service that handles such documents.
• The design meets your primary criteria. Minor changes to the plan such as changing bathtubs to showers can be done in the field and do not significantly impact the cost to build.
• You love modern and midcentury residential architecture and want your own new house with the same style offered by Mid Mod Pad.

Important Information
All sales at Mid Mod Pad are not refundable and are final upon initial purchase. Because the product is digital and easily reproducible in printed format, returns are not possible, with copyright similar to digital and physical books. Mid Mod Pad architectural designs are intellectual property, and law forbids replication in whole or in part without express permission by the copyright holder, Steven C Randel.
Mid Mod Pad designs conform to the minimum codes based on the most common model building codes and are not deemed complete without local review by licensed professionals or government officials. Because you are buying the architectural plans independently, your project might require further development of structural specifications, site conditions, and local zoning and building code compliance, for example. Before you purchase plans, determine what other requirements you can encounter for your project based on its location. Check the requirements for your project with Planning and Building Department officials with jurisdiction over your property as well as local utility operators to ensure you meet all of their regulations. General contractors might provide you with further assistance and information specific to your location.
Beware of areas with stringent structural requirements. Most seismically active and hurricane-prone regions demand more complex structural systems necessitating the involvement of licensed engineers for all new building projects. The plans deliver without a professional stamp and in most cases suffice. However, some regions and states stipulate that locally licensed professionals must prepare all plans that require building permits. Contact the Building Department with jurisdiction over your parcel of land to determine what they require before proceeding with the purchase of plans. Individually, California, Florida, New York, Nevada, New Jersey, as well as North & South Carolina cover regions with more complex building code enforcement. Mid Mod plans do not sell for Nevada development as all building permits issued in Nevada require state-issued professional stamps. All plans by Mid Mod Pad built in California need professionally stamped documents by (Randel Architecture, Inc) Mid Mod Pad architect, Steven C Randel. Please contact us for further information regarding California projects.
