FAQ
Payment is due once the completed plan set is issued for review. At that point, the plans are fully usable for permitting and coordination. Minor revisions based on feedback or plan review comments are included after payment. Additional revisions beyond the included scope are billed separately.
Yes, we offer customization options for our house plans. You can choose from various package options or inquire about custom design work by filling out our questionnaire.

Each house plan package includes detailed architectural drawings, floor plans, and elevations. Some packages may also include additional features such as 3D renderings or material lists. Please refer to the specific package details for more information.
You'll receive immediate access to download the plan set digitally (PDF). If you choose you can use the PDF to print hardcopies per the license agreement but no hardcopies will be sent to you from Slate Drafting. These will print to scale on Architectural D-sized sheets (36" wide x 24" tall).
No, the standard plans do not include electrical or plumbing layouts. However, these can be added as optional services for an additional fee if needed. Just let me know, and I can provide pricing and details for these add-ons.
To keep things affordable, the drawing sets have been designed to meet US energy codes as a minimum standard. However, the wall systems can be upgraded and adapted to your local climate and this includes increasing the insulation and air-sealing components to meet your individual efficiency needs. Following the mantra: build tight, insulate right will go a long way to ensuring your project is an efficient, comfortable home to live in.
No, revisions are limited to ensure the process remains efficient and cost-effective. I include up to three rounds of revisions with the initial design fee. Additional revisions beyond that are charged at a flat rate or hourly rate, depending on the scope of the changes. This helps keep the project on track while ensuring you’re satisfied with the final design.
I’d be happy to consult with you - at my current hourly rate ($150/hour) - to guide any remaining decisions you might need to make or walk you through some of the details. Contact me via email to schedule a time to talk.
