FAQ - Drawings

How long does it take to get drawings?
If you have requested standard erection drawings (Non-Stamped), we can usually ship them to you within seven to ten business days after we receive your engineering deposit. If you have requested that your drawings be stamped by an engineer, your engineer-stamped construction drawings will be sent to you within seven to fifteen business days after we receive your engineering deposit. We currently ship drawings "signature required" via FedEx 2nd Day, so you must give us an address where someone will be available to take the delivery.
Note: Special Quotes may require additional drawing time.

What kind of drawings do I get?
Our computer-produced drawings include an anchor-bolt plan with reactions, which will give your foundation engineer all the information necessary to design the proper foundation for your building. The set also includes detailed diagrams of every connection used in your building as well as cross-section diagrams for every part of the building, including the main frames, the framing for each wall, the roof sheeting, and the wall sheeting. You can order a complete sample set of actual erection drawings in a variety of sizes for only the cost of shipping and handling, and you can view a sample set of plans online in our Media Library.

What are permit drawings?
Some building inspectors require you to submit drawings with your permit application. If that is the case, you can choose the "hold for permit approval" option when you purchase your building. See the sections on Ordering a Building and Order Processing for more information.
