  1. Pricing Set: 11”x17” PDF of the basic Floor Plan, Roof Plan and (4) Exterior Elevations. It is an informative set to discuss with your builder, your building department, and your financial institution. The file will be emailed to you in 1-2 business days.

  2. Bidding Set: 24”x36” PDF of the full set, which can be used for exact pricing estimates with builders and for further discussions with your local building department. The bidding set will have our watermark, and labeled “Not for Construction”. A contract agreement will be emailed to you in 1-2 business days prior to the plans. This is a pre-order plan so it will take 2-3 weeks to receive the complete set. In the meantime, we’ll send you the pricing set.

Once you are ready to build, you will need to purchase a “License to Build”: This is a license agreement between you and Root Down House Plan Company to build this design only one time. Once the agreement is signed, we will remove our watermarks and “not for construction” label from your Bidding Set so that you can work with your local builder and building department for permitting. The file will be emailed to you within 2-7 business days after the agreement is signed. This license entitles you to build the proposed design (1) time.
