CAD Packages
A CAD package is a complete set of construction drawings in an electronic file
format. They are especially beneficial if you have a significant amount of
changes to make to the home plan you have selected or if you need to make the
home plan fit your local codes. If you purchase a Builder’s CAD Package, you
have the option to take the plan to a local design professional who uses
AutoCAD or DataCAD and they can modify the design much easier and quicker than
with a paper-based drawing, which will help save you time and money. Just like
our reproducible master, with a Builder’s CAD package you will receive a
one-time build copyright release that allows you to make changes and the
necessary copies needed to build your home. For more information and
availability, call our Customer Service Department at 1-800-373-2646.

1-Set Package
We offer a 1-set plan package so you can study your home in detail. This one
set is considered a study set and is marked “not for construction.” It is a
copyright violation to reproduce blueprints.
5-Set Package
If you’re ready to start the construction process, this 5-set package is the
minimum number of blueprint sets you will need. It will require keeping close
track of each set so multiple subcontractors and trades people can use them.
8-Set Package
For best results in terms of cost, schedule and quality of construction, we
recommend you order eight (or more) sets of blueprints. Besides one set for
you, additional sets of blueprints will be required by your mortgage lender,
local building department, general contractor and all subcontractors working on
foundation, electrical, plumbing, heating/air conditioning, carpentry work,
etc.
Reproducible Masters
If you wish to make some minor design changes, you’ll want to order
reproducible masters. These drawings contain the same information as the
blueprints but are printed on reproducible paper that is easy to alter and
clearly indicates your right to copy or reproduce. This will allow your builder
or a local design professional to make the necessary drawing changes without
the major expense of redrawing the plans. This package also allows you to print
copies of the modified plans as needed. The right of building only one
structure from these plans is licensed exclusively to the buyer. You may not
use this design to build a second or multiple dwellings without purchasing
another blueprint. Each violation of the Copyright Law is punishable in a fine.
Mirror Reverse Sets
Plans can be printed in mirror reverse. These plans are useful when the house
would fit your site better if all the rooms were on the opposite side than
shown. They are simply a mirror image of the original drawings causing the
lettering and dimensions to read backwards. Therefore, when ordering mirror
reverse drawings, you must purchase at least one set of right-reading plans.
Some of our plans are offered mirror reverse right reading. This means the
plan, lettering and dimensions are flipped but read correctly. When you click
“purchase this plan” availability options will be shown.
