GENERAL NOTES & DISCLAIMERS
​
​
Local Conditions
Bespoke Home Plans has put substantial care and effort into the creation of our drawing packages. The plans have been prepared to meet generally accepted professional standards and practices and have been developed without knowledge or reference to a specific site or geographical location. Local site conditions, such as frost depth, soil bearing capacity, seismic and wind zones, exposure, etc. may vary. Local code requirements for such life-safety requirements as stair width, stair rise and run, egress windows and smoke detectors, etc. may vary. The strength of materials (such as lumber) available locally may vary. Therefore, supplemental to these documents, it is the Licensee’s responsibility to consult with his/her local builder and a professional designer or structural engineer to determine that these documents meet all current federal, state/provincial and local codes, ordinances/bylaws and regulations, etc., and are appropriate to specific site conditions. Compliance with such requirements shall take precedence over these documents.
Changes
Any use of this information without adaptation to changes in codes, standards, site conditions and other factors is at the Licensee’s sole risk. Bespoke Home Plans assumes no responsibility for changes made to these plans by others and makes no warranties, either express or implied, in the use of these plans. The Licensee agrees to defend and indemnify Bespoke Home Plans for all claims, losses or damages resulting from the use of these documents.
Architectural and Engineering Seals
Some cities and states require that a licensed architect or engineer review and "seal" a blueprint, or officially approve it prior to construction due to concerns over energy costs, safety and other factors. Prior to application for a building permit or the start of actual construction, we strongly advise that you consult your local building official who can tell you if such a review is required. Bespoke Home Plans, LLC. can not provide such a seal or stamp of certification. It is your responsibility to determine if such seal is required and, if so, you are liable for any costs to obtain such a seal.
Before Construction
Before starting construction, it is the builder's responsibility to check all dimensions and details, and verify conformance with governing code requirements for the geographic area in which the house is to be built. All structural, mechanical and electrical requirements shall also be reviewed before construction begins. Codes govern over drawings and dimensions govern over scale. Notify the architect of dimensional discrepancies.
Framing Sizes and Engineered Components
Our plans are designed to utilize pre-engineered lumber components such as Wood I-Joist Framing, Laminated Veneer Lumber Beams and pre-engineered Floor or Roof Trusses. Since the allowable loads of these various components vary from manufacturer to manufacturer and local and state building code requirements vary, the specific size, spacing and grade of these components will need to be verified by the manufacturer of the product or your local structural engineer. Your builder should work closely with the lumber supplier and engineer to finalize these details, and ensure they fit properly within the construction of the home.
Construction Supervision
Bespoke Home Plans has not been engaged for construction supervision of any kind and assumes no responsibility to ensure that construction conforms to these plans, nor has any responsibility for construction means, methods, techniques, sequences, procedures or safety precautions in connection with the work.
