Terms & Conditions

The plans featured on AssociatedDesigns.com are copyrighted and cannot be reproduced without a copyright release. We offer a variety of plan package options with varying permissions of use. For a complete outline of plan options and provided permissions review Plan Packages and Options on our Order Information page.

 

All drawings are produced on a computer with the utmost attention to detail. Plans by guest designers may be drawn in a style preferred in their region.

 

Plans specify sizes for doors, windows, fixtures, and so on, but we do not specify any manufacturer's products. The owner and builder may make product selections based on taste, budget, and availability.

 

Our plans do not include an estimate of the cost to build because costs vary widely by region and season. To estimate the cost of building a plan in your area we offer a 1-Set Study Package which provides you and your builder a complete set of the construction drawings (stamped not for construction) to estimate building costs.

 

Materials Lists are available for purchase on a limited number of our plans. Material Lists are created to prescribed industry standards and are interested as a technical guide and not as step-by-step instructions. Availability can be found on the plan detail page or inquire by calling (800) 634-0123.

 

Our plans are drawn to meet or exceed building codes in effect at the time and place they were drawn. Codes may include the IRC (International Residential Code), CABO (Council of American Building Officials) and/or UBC (Uniform Building Code). However, each state, county, and municipality has its own building codes, zoning requirements, ordinances, and building regulations. Your plan may need to be modified to comply with local requirements regarding snow loads, energy codes, soil and seismic conditions, and a wide range of other concerns. You may also need to obtain permits and inspections from local governments before and during construction. We strongly recommend that you consult with a local building professional and licensed engineer, as well as your local building code official, before applying for permits or beginning construction.

 

Because we have no control over your construction process, we cannot make any warranty, expressed or implied, with respect to the content or use of our plans, including but not limited to any warranty of merchantability or of fitness for any particular purpose. We offer a variety of plan package options and formats to help accommodate the diversity within building practices and preferences. In addition to making sure that the plan package purchased meets your licensing needs (number of builds, need for modifications, etc.) it is recommended that you verify with your builder/contractor their needs for assisting you with your build.
