  • Please read Some plans contain roof framing plans, however because of the wide variation in local requirements, many plans do not. If you buy a plan without a roof framing plan, you will need an engineer familiar with local building codes to create a plan to build your roof. Even if your plan does contain a roof framing plan, we recommend that a local engineer review the plan to verify that it will meet local codes.
  • Some cities and states now require that a licensed architect or engineer review and "seal" a blueprint, or officially approve it, prior to construction.
