IMPORTANT!
Although our plans can be built “as is” in most places, your local building department may have specific requirements. Some of these requirements, including structural engineering, soils reports and energy efficiency calculations may require significant additional investments.
The typical plan set does not include any plumbing, heating or air conditioning drawings, due to the wide variety of local codes and climatic conditions. These details and specifications are easily obtained from your builder, contractor, and/or local suppliers.
All house plans on HomesByLevi.com are designed to conform to the building codes from when and where the original house was designed.
