They are made available in three plan packages to choose from, Basic, Standard and Custom. Learn more on the plan package page. All plans packages come with four sets of plans. All plans are drawn to a 1/4 inch scale on a 24 x 36 format.

Our plans do not include a HVAC, Electrical and Plumbing design. These codes vary from state to state and is the responsibility of the individual contractor to prepare a detailed shop drawing, if required. An electrical lay-out of light switches, out-lets and fixtures are included for intent location only.

These services will entail a site analyzation, preliminary drawings for the clients viewing and approval and several meetings during the design process too arrive at the final design. Which at that time your house plans will be drawn to scale and made ready for blue printing. 

The custom plan service requires a deposit of 1/3rd of the estimated fee, which is the fee to retain Martin D. Ewing's services and the client's commitment for Martin D. Ewing to start to work on the preliminary drawings. At the time the preliminary drawings are final, and the client does not wish to move forward Martin D. Ewing retains the retainage and the drawings. If the client dose wish to move forward the retainage will apply to the final fee.

This service is a negotiable monetary fee based on the complexity of the project under a separate contract. The consulting service does not include selecting finishing materials such as paint colors and types of floor covering, cabinetry, counter tops, plumbing and lighting fixtures, mechanical equipment. Exterior finish's such as doors, windows, roofing, masonry etc. Only building materials and contractors to build the home 

 At the time of creation our house plans are designed and drawn to meet or exceed national building standards. Because codes and regulations vary widely across the country Martin D. Ewing can not guarantee compliance with any out of state specific codes or ordinances. Due to concerns over safety, structural integrity and other factors some city and states are requiring that a licensed engineer review and approve any construction drawings prior to the permit application. I strongly advise the owner/general contractor to consult their local building official if such a requirements are required.

The foundation plan and associated details are provided as a basic guide for a typical foundation system. This typical foundation system is not site specific in regards to elevations. The owner/general contractor should have an engineer or a foundation contractor review the plans and site conditions and provide a site-specific foundation design if found necessary. It is in the best interest of all parties involved to have the footing and foundation soil tested by an engineer after excavation and before  poring any concrete.
