Code & Engineering

Delivered as a complete architectural plan set, this 2681 sq ft two-story residence configures 3 bedrooms and 3.5 baths for single-family R-3 occupancy under the California Residential Code, with detailing intended for permit-ready submittal.

The architectural plan set includes the floor plans for both stories, exterior elevations on all four sides, building sections, and dimensioned framing intent. The design is developed to meet the current California Residential Code (CRC) and is intended for structural design under ASCE 7 for loading and the National Design Specification (NDS) for wood construction.

The Structural Set package is offered as a separate scope and includes lateral analysis, gravity load takedown, shear-wall design, and component-level connection details — all sized to the specific site's seismic and wind conditions rather than to a generic California average.

The foundation system is selected during a separate site-specific design scope. Slab-on-grade is the default for level, well-drained parcels; raised crawl-space on continuous stem walls is the choice on expansive-clay or high-moisture sites; pier-and-grade-beam systems handle hillside lots and soft-soil regions where the geotechnical report calls for deeper bearing.

As a single-family residence (R-3 occupancy), this plan is subject to local zoning height limits — typically 25 to 35 feet in California residential zones, though specific limits vary by jurisdiction and any applicable hillside, fire-zone, or coastal overlays. The plan's 25 ft ridge height should be verified against the parcel's zoning before submitting for permit. If the ridge needs to be lowered for a specific overlay, HOA restriction, or view-corridor easement, plan customization is available to adjust the roof slope or elevation accordingly.

Available optional services: PE-stamped structural calculations, plan customization for site-specific adaptations (roof slope, elevation, interior layout), custom foundation design sized to the geotechnical report, structural observation visits during framing and finish, and permit support tailored to jurisdiction-specific requirements.
