At the time of creation, these plans were designed to meet the requirements of a nationally recognized model building code in effect where these plans were produced. Because of the great differences in geography and climate throughout the United States each state, county and municipality has its own building codes, zone requirements, ordinances and building regulations. These plans may need to be modified and additional drawings and details may need to be added to comply with your local conditions, requirements, and a wide range of other matters. All of our plans can be adapted to the local building codes and requirements. It is the responsibility of the purchaser and/or builder of each plan to see that the structure is built in strict compliance with the governing municipal codes (city, county, state and federal). In addition to the building plans that you order, you will also need a site plan that shows where the house is going to be located on the lot. There are some areas of the country that have very strict engineering codes. If you are building in this type of area, it is possible that you will need to hire a local engineer to analyze the house and provide additional drawings and calculations that may be required by your building department.
Our firm assumes no liability for any home constructed from these plans. Only qualified Designers, Architects, Contractors or Structural Engineers should attempt to modify any portion of these plans. It is the sole responsibility of the purchaser to obtain any and all structural analysis, engineering and specifications that are required where the structure is to be built. Written dimensions on these drawings should have precedence over scaled dimensions; the contractor shall verify and be responsible for all dimensions and conditions on the job.
Some cities and states are now requiring that a licensed architect or engineer review and “seal” these plans, or officially approve them prior to construction. In addition, you may need to obtain permits or inspections from your local governments before and in the course of construction. Prior to using these plans, we strongly advise that you consult a licensed architect or engineer, as well as consult with your local building official before applying for any permit or before starting any construction related to these plans. We authorize the use of these plans on the express condition that you strictly comply with all local building codes, zoning requirements and other applicable laws, regulations, ordinances and requirements.
By the purchase of our plans, customers are granted a limited license to use the plans for the construction of only one home. It is strictly prohibited to reproduce, sell, modify, trace, redraw or reuse the plans or designs without the written permission from the copyright owner, Architect House Plans, LLC. This limited license also applies to all other reproducible media. All orders, once placed, are final. No refunds or exchanges will be granted.
It is not permitted to copy any part of our original designs or reproduce them in any way or by any means, unless you have purchased reproducible plans, which clearly indicate your right to copy or duplicate these plans. We do not authorize them to be sold to another person or third party. We only authorize the use of your chosen design as an aid in the construction of one single-family home. You may not use this design or these plans to build a second or multiple dwellings without purchasing another set of plans or paying additional design fees.
These designs and plans are protected under the terms of United States Copyright Law and may not be copied or reproduced in any way by any means. All floor plans, renderings and other media advertised are the exclusive property of Architect House Plans, LLC. Any willful infringement to Copyright Laws by any individual may be subject to severe penalties, actual damages, profit made, and attorney’s fees of the owner of the copyright.
Our architects have taken substantial care and effort to create these plans. However, because the architects cannot provide on-site consultation, supervision and control over actual construction, and because of the great variances in local building requirements, building practices and soil, seismic, weather and other conditions, we cannot assume any responsibility or liability or make any warranty, express or implied, with respect to the content or use of these plans.

You also agree that the liability of Architect House Plans, LLC, its affiliates, officers, employees, agents and licensors, if any, arising out of any kind of legal claim in any way connected to the service shall not exceed the amount you paid for the service.
