- Structural calculations and soils reports, if applicable
- A foundation plan
- Roof & floor framing plans
- Construction cross-sections
- Appropriate floor plans, including electrical plan
- Minimum paper size is 11" X 17"
- If you are adding floor area, 2 sets of energy calculations are required.
- If your work costs $1,000.00 or more, battery operated smoke detectors are needed in halls and bedrooms.
