Building in California
California projects usually need Title 24 energy compliance documentation, and many sites call for structural engineering or plan changes for setbacks, slope or fire zones. Our team works in that environment every day and can help you modify a plan for your lot, or point you to the next steps. Email Info@valuehomeplans.com or see what happens after you buy.
Every jurisdiction in California adopts its own local amendments, and requirements vary from city to city and county to county. Our plans are designed with California building considerations in mind, but they are not represented as compliant with every local code. Have your plan reviewed by your local building department, and by a licensed engineer where required, before you build.
