FAQ

What exactly is included in my AML Home Plans construction drawings?

We guarantee that our budget-friendly price includes everything you or your contractor needs to get to work. Every builder-ready set of AML Home Plans includes:

• Detailed Floor Plans: Fully dimensioned layouts for every level of the home.

• Exterior Elevations: Scaled drawings of the front, rear, and sides of the house showing exterior materials and roof pitches.

• Foundation & Roof Plans: Structural layouts to ensure a solid base and proper roof framing.

• Cross-Sections & Structural Details: Cut-away views showing how the home is constructed from foundation to peak.

• Electrical Layouts: Schematic locations for outlets, switches, and lighting fixtures.

• Interior Details: Cabinet layouts, elevations, and general specifications.

In short, your download contains virtually all the technical information to construct your home efficiently.

Do AML Home Plans include everything I need to get permits and start building?

Our builder-ready plans contain all the core architectural documents needed to build your home, and in many areas, they can be submitted for permits "as is." However, because building codes and environments vary drastically by city and county, your local building department may require site-specific additions before approving your permit. These commonly include:

• Structural Engineering: Local stamps verifying the home meets specific wind, seismic, or snow load requirements for your region.

• Site-Specific Reports: Soils reports or site plans detailing exactly how the house sits on your specific lot.

• Energy Calculations: Documentation to ensure the home meets your state's energy efficiency regulations.

If your municipality requires these extras, a local licensed engineer or architect can easily use our plans as the foundation to get you up to code. Not sure what your local office requires or need assistance finding a local engineer, reach out to your local town permitting office.

When ordering house plans, how many printed sets do I actually need?

However, with the AML Instant PDF Floor Plan, you never have to guess or pay per copy upfront. Your digital download gives you the freedom to print unlimited full-size (24” x 36”) blueprints at your local print shop exactly as you need them. You can also easily email the PDF to your crew for fast bidding.
