Find a plan that is close to what you want to build.
Download a Discovery Page,Âplay with it, sketch on it, and talk to your friends and family. If it looks like something you want to move forward with, continue to the next step. If it is not going to work out your only out the cost of a cup of fancy coffee. Thank You.
Download a Schematic Set, this set has larger drawings and more pages and dimensions for you to use to obtain budget prices for your project. We can also talk about the SIP package options and help you obtain a price for the SIP package at this point. These drawings with a site plan will give you enough information to talk to your city or county about building your building on your lot in your zone. Your jurisdiction will tell you about height restrictions and setbacks etc. If the project is still a go. move to the next step.
Give me a call about customizing the plan for your site. (Click here for the Tiny House on Wheels process it varies a little)
At that time, I can give you a price for a full set of Drawings and Construction Documents. Each state and jurisdiction has different requirements for documents to be submitted. Engineering may be required for some projects. Which can be included in the SIP package cost.
You would submit the architectural drawings to the manufacturer to have their SIP shop drawingsmade up at this time. These are the drawing the manufacturer uses to cut the panels. When the drawings are finished, and you have reviewed and signed off on them they are ready for production.
Once the construction documents are in for a permit, you can start clearing the land and get set up for the foundation.
At this point, you should have a building permit and be ready to start construction.
While you and your contractor are pouring concrete the Manufacturer will start panel production.
SIP production usually takes 3-5 weeks depending on the time of year and the size of your project.
When the SIPs arrive, I can sometimes be on site for a nominal fee, to show you and your crew how to assemble them. See on-site coaching.
