- Reversed Plan +$150
- Plot Plan +$100 Some counties require a plot plan to obtain a building permit. The plot plan shows where the house will be located on the property so the builder knows where to pour foundations. Buyer must provide plot topography or boundary dimensions with stated setbacks.
Truoba's construction drawings must be reviewed by a local structural engineer because soil, snow, wind, and seismic load requirements vary by county. After review, Truoba updates the drawings for free and reissues the set, ready for your permit office.
