The drawings include: Foundation/basement plan, main level & upper level plans, roof plan and 4 exterior views of the house (North, East, West & South elevations). The set of drawings is good for Building permit application, bid construction cost and for structural calculation studies. The basic set of drawings, is done to a pre-engineering level.A basic set of drawings does not include structural calculation. The structural calculation is done by a third party who can be selected by the owner of the project or by Envision Construction if requested. There is an additional cost for adding structural notes and specifications to a full set of drawings.
