Having files delivered to you digitally – via email – is what we recommend. It offers you the flexibility to print as many copies as you need at your local Kinko’s or other print shop.
When you purchase on of our house plans, you are licensed to build a single home from the design.
This is the delivery method that we recommend. It is the most flexible and cost effective option.
You will receive the plans as PDF sets by e-mail which you may print inexpensively at Kinko’s or your local print shop as needed.
If you hire another designer to alter your plan, you may purchase the digital CAD files. Bungalow Company retains copyright to plans derived from their plans.
Altered plans may not be sold nor used to build additional homes.
You may purchase an Estimation Set of plans to enable you to request bids from builders / contractors before you buy a full priced plan. We will apply the majority of the cost for this set to any plan purchase. Estimation Sets are printed on 11″ x 17″ paper and are stamped “Not for Construction”. It is illegal for a contractor to build from this set.
To purchase an estimation set please: call us at 1-206-257-3911, email us at [email protected], or send us this contact form.
Every region, state and town has unique soil, snow, wind and seismic conditions that require specific structural design solutions. The International Residential Code (IRC) is the most recognized building code in the United States and is designed as the “cookbook “ for residential design. The IRC has many prescriptive design solutions that do not require the use of a structural engineer, if you stay within the confines of the code.
The majority of our houses do not fall entirely within the confines of the IRC, therefore require that a certified structural engineer: calculate, review and stamp the structural design of the building.
We believe structural engineering is an investment in your project and when coordinated by our staff of designers can often simplify the structural design, aide in the coordination of mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems and save money time and effort in the permit and construction process.
The building code is a minimum standard and we believe your home deserves more, which is why we have partnered with the experts at Eclipse Engineering for our structural engineering services. Eclipse has successfully engineered hundreds of projects with the Bungalow Company throughout the United States.
