DRAWINGS

How long does it take to get structural drawings?

Once we have received the payment for your building, you have provided for us your door locations, and no further changes are made by you, your structural drawings will be sent to you direct from our blueprinter or our engineer’s office. In most cases, these plans are normally sent by Priority Mail within two weeks. However, if your building is more complex, (i.e. residential structures, larger buildings, or if you make any changes after your order is placed), the plans may take six weeks or longer.

I need my plans right now. Is there a way to get them any faster?

Yes. For a $150.00 minimum (varies by complexity) we offer an expedited plan service. Keep in mind, every building is unique so it must be individually designed and drafted. The expedited service means your job will be placed in the drafting and engineering queue ahead of all other non-expedited jobs and plans will be shipped to you via the fastest available practical method. You are not allowed to make changes, after order, to expedited plans. Ordering expedited plans, does NOT speed up the delivery of your building.

What kind of drawings do I get?

These are CAD drawings on a 24” x 36” format. There will be a minimum of five pages. They include, plan (or roof) view, endwall framing and cross section through the building. Detail diagrams are also included for important connections including slab to columns; skirt board to columns; wall girts to columns; trusses to both interior and endwall columns; purlins to trusses and diagrams for both bottom chord bracing and any special truss bracing requirements.

What if I need more than two sets of drawings?

Additional sets may be purchased at time of order for $45.00 per set.

Can I get plans for a building permit without ordering a building?

Yes. For a portion of the your building cost (with a minimum of $795) we will provide engineered plans and calculations for your building (in states where available). This price also includes our construction manual. Purchasing plans does not lock in your building purchase price; however your plan payment can be applied towards your later purchase of the complete building kit.
