Notes, Caveats, & Tips to Buyer

Thank you very much for placing your order with my firm for the deck, porch or gazebo plan. It is my sincere hope that you will find our Building Plans adequate to help you with your project. Not everything you read in the following pages will apply directly to your project. However, I would advise you to read it all anyway because a great deal will be applicable. Please understand that, as mentioned on our home page, these projects are of complexity that expertise of a carpenter is normally necessary to read and execute these plans. That is why I always explain to folks that you should be a carpenter, or be working alongside a carpenter, or at minimum have access to a carpenter for consultation and advice. Should you have any questions, you may find your local Building Plan Review helpful. If you need our assistance, we are pleased to offer our help at our standard consulting rates of $60/hr on the telephone/fax/email/mail billed in 15 minute increments. We only require your VISA or MC information in order to accomplish this.

Unfortunately due to the "sue happy" environment in which we live, prudence dictates that I make the following disclaimer which applies to all plans, material lists, written and verbal information transmitted to you either now or in the future:

"There exists no warrant or guarantee for the building plans, materials list, or written or verbal information transmitted to you in any way. It is solely the responsibility of the buyer to follow his locally accepted building practices and code, obtain prior plan review approval, and insure the project is constructed properly. Seller is not responsible for errors or omissions."

That said, I would none-the-less be delighted to help you in any way should the need arise. Call, fax or email me. Best times to reach me are 10am-4pm ET Monday, Wednesday, Friday (office closed Tuesday for my Family Day and Thursday for On Site work).

Incidentally, any suggestions and feedback you can give us will be greatly appreciated. We are constantly striving to update, upgrade and improve this service.

ALWAYS SUBMIT ALL BUILDING PLANS TO YOUR LOCAL BUILDING AND PLAN REVIEW FOR THEIR APPROVAL.
