*Disclaimer:

In the interest of complete clariry, please do not confuse the above guarantee with our Custom Plan Service. The above guarantee is for our Standard Plans, not our Custom Plans. We work very hard to insure that our clients are 100% satisfied with their Preliminary Custom Plan that we work up together before it goes to Drafting. But once you give us your approval, then the preliminary design goes to Drafting and "the dye is cast". We cannot refund your money if you change your mind. Why? We have invested a lot of time in your Preliminary Custom Plan and more time and money in drafting your Custom Building Plan. On the other hand, if you change your mind before the Preliminary Custom Plan goes to Drafting, here is our Refund Policy.

And perhaps the most important point: We do our dead level best to provide you with a clear, comprehensive, code compliant set of Standard or Custom Building Plans, but we are human and we can make mistakes. Therefore our Standard and Custom Building Plans are not warrantied or guaranteed against errors or omissions, either express or implied. For that reason I also state on all plans that the “Buyer agrees that building from these plans is acceptance by buyer of full responsibility for meeting all building code requirements and buyer will hold Designer harmless in the event of errors and/or omissions.” One of the big reasons we do this is because, if another builder other than a Virginia Decking authorized builder is doing the construction, we have no quality control. We have no way of knowing if the construction techniques used are acceptable or not. (In other words, we don't know if you know one end of the hammer from the other.) No offence intended, but I hope you understand that, in this sue happy country of ours, this type of disclaimer is totally necessary.

Be smart and always submit your Building Plans to your local county or city Plan Review. You pay their salaries! Make 'em earn it.
