Avid A Vision In Design

A house plan is a construction document that guides a number of different construction efforts through every phase of building. Dimensions throughout the drawing need to be as accurate as possible to ensure every part of the home is constructed properly.

You should avoid three dimension techniques commonly found in online plan purchases.

AVID Home Studios has developed a set of residential house plans that impact many green construction programs. These plans, known as the A-Value Specialty Package, are created by analyzing a standard set of floor plans for maximum material and labor efficiency. Once the analysis is complete, a new set of plans is created showing how to cut and install each major framing, flooring, wall and roofing component. Home builders use the A-Value plan set to build more energy efficient homes with less materials and labor costs.

Home design services have expanded far beyond the traditional architect and anyone with a web browser can purchase a plan from a number of e-commerce warehouses. But, most people are unaware of strict copyright laws that protect the intellectual rights of these home designs and the penalties that go with them. Not understanding the license restrictions of a purchased home plan may come back to haunt the builder with severe consequences.
