What is included in your Complete plans?

The contents of each 99HOMEPLANS package is unique, but all contain detailed, high-quality working drawings. You can expect to find the following standard elements in most sets of plans:

1. FRONT PERSPECTIVE
This artist’s sketch of the exterior of the house gives you an idea of how the house will look when built and landscaped.

2. FOUNDATION PLANS
This sheet shows the foundation layout including concrete walls, footings, pads, posts, beams, bearing walls, and foundation

3. DETAILED FLOOR PLANS
These plans show the layout of each floor of the house. Rooms and interior spaces are carefully dimensioned, doors and windows located, and keys are given for cross-section details provided elsewhere in the plans.

4. HOUSE AND DETAIL CROSS-SECTIONS
Large-scale views show sections or cutaways of the foundation, interior walls, exterior walls, floors, stairways, and roof details. Additional cross-sections may show important changes in floor, ceiling, or roof heights, or the relationship of one level to another. These sections show exactly how the various parts of the house fit together and are extremely valuable during construction. Additional sheets may include enlarged wall, floor and roof construction details.

5. FLOOR STRUCTURAL SUPPORTS
The floor framing plans provide detail for these crucial elements of your home. Each includes floor joist, ceiling joist, spacing, direction, span, and specifications. Beam and window headers, along with necessary details for framing connections, stairways, or dormers are also included.

6. ELECTRICAL PLAN
The electrical plan offers suggested locations with notes for all lighting, outlets, switches, and circuits. A layout is provided for each level, as well as basements, garages, or other structures. This plan does not contain diagrams detailing how all wiring should be run, or how circuits should be engineered. These details should be designed by your electrician.

7. EXTERIOR ELEVATIONS
In addition to the front exterior, your blueprint set will include drawings of the rear and sides of your house as well.These drawings give notes on exterior materials and finishes. Particular attention is given to cornice detail, brick and stone accents, or other finish items that make your home unique.

ROOF FRAMING PLANS — Please read
Some plans contain roof framing plans, however because of the wide variation in local requirements, many plans do not. If you buy a plan without a roof framing plan, you will need an engineer familiar with local building codes to create a plan to build your roof. Even if your plan does contain a roof framing plan, we recommend that a local engineer review the plan to verify that it will meet local codes.

WHAT IS NOT INCLUDED IN YOUR PLAN — ARCHITECTURAL AND ENGINEERING SEALS
Some cities and states now require that a licensed architect or engineer review and “seal” a blueprint, or officially approve it, prior to construction. Prior to application for a building permit or the start of actual construction, we strongly advise that you consult your local building official who can tell you if such a review is required.

Our questionnaire contains a list of information required. Some of the more important information: the size of the plot, the size of the house required, information on family members, the no of floors required, and information on the plot such as photos and drawings of the plot and information about the structures on the neighboring plots.

If I ask for a large house, do I get a concession in price?

We have a standard table of pricing which is very reasonable in terms of the design work and deliverables which we will provide to you.

Can we ask for changes to the design at the time of construction for any reason?

Yes, you can ask us to make some changes, but these will be charged as per the man-hours spent on the revisions.

Is there a possibility of us getting some sketch designs of the house done before we sign a design contract?

No, we do not work like this. We are professional architects with lots of experience in the design of houses, and we prefer to give our full attention to a project once we are appointed. We believe that the best way to select an architect is to look at the quality of his prior work.

Can we get more help from your organization in building the house? Are you familiar with the building regulations and codes in our town or city? Who will obtain the permissions to build?

Since we have worked on projects in Kerala, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Maharashtra, Gujarat, West Bengal, Assam, and Delhi..etc, we are familiar with the basic regulations in a number of places across India. We base our designs on the National Building Code of India 2005.However, we do not undertake the process of obtaining building permissions. You will require the help of a local permissions agent for this.

Can we share some of our design ideas with you?

We usually request our clients to share some ideas or images of houses they like and some they do not like. This helps us understand your personal choices and dreams for the house.

Can you provide a design which uses local building materials?

The common construction technique used in India is of a reinforced concrete (RCC) frame structure with brick infill walls. Windows are normally made of float glass and either wood or aluminum, and doors are usually wooden flush shutters.
Other than this we also do designs which use engineered earth, or mud. These are in the form of Compressed Stabilised Earth Blocks (CSEB), a brick made of earth that is carefully selected and mixed with a bit of water and cement, and then compressed in a press. These are water cured and not fired like conventional bricks, so they are very environmentally friendly. If properly done, they are as durable as conventional construction. Another technique that makes use of earth is rammed earth construction. To make a wall of rammed earth, one first makes a wooden mold in the correct location of the wall. One then pours a mixture of earth, water, and cement into the mold and uses a rammer to compress the mixture into a 10-cm high layer. Successive layers are added until the desired height is reached These techniques are not yet widely used, but we believe they hold a lot of potential for low-cost environment-friendly construction in India. It is essential that the earth is very carefully selected and tested, as not any earth can be used. These techniques have been developed, tested, and extensively used.

Can your designs be adaptable for use outside Indian subcontinent like Sri Lanka, Australia, etc?

Yes, our designs can beused for places other than the Indian Sub-Continent. We can change drawings to incorporate other construction systems and climates. Many of our designs are on sale (through other gateways) in the USA and Canada.

Is it possible for us to meet you before we sign a design contract with you?

Yes, of course. Do telephone to fix an appointment at our Kerala office, which runs from 10am to 6pm Monday to Friday.
