Concept and Budgeting Plans

The first step in your project should be our Concept plan.  All concept plans offered for sale are the most affordable heavy timber plans you will find.  Don’t spend hundreds, or thousands, on plans until you are sure the project is doable.  A great deal of thought and time has been invested in these.  We are confident you will find them very useful.

The Concept Plan is essentially a basic scaled architectural plan AND a preliminary material take off.

All purchases of concepts will be applied as a 100% credit towards a higher-level plan such as our engineered drawings, shop drawings, or pre-cut kit.

Basic overall dimensions are designated in the Concept plan. We provide these dimensions so that you can see how wide and tall the building is as well as the slope of the roof. These concepts are scaled drawings so you may use your ruler or scale to find more measurements. There are material take off list and corresponding diagrams, including masonry, wood, surface area takeoffs, and perimeter lengths.
