Welcome To Behm Design



Located at 101 Peyton Road, Williamsburg, VA 23185 Phone: (757) 229-9898

 

Since 1985, Behm Design has provided building plans for successful projects all over the U.S. Several years ago, we decided to offer the garage plans only, to offer the best possible selection and quality of products in the garage plans field. Jay Behm, owner of Behm Design has had over twenty years of design and technical drafting experience. Educational background includes a Bachelor's Degree completed at the University of Washington College of Architecture and Urban Planning, in architecture.

 

 

A professional, complete set of plans is essential for project success. When you apply for a building permit, (which is required by law in most locations) a plans examiner will thoroughly review the plans. The plans must clearly illustrate compliance with the building code in terms of building structure, materials, dimensions, safety and health issues and functional requirements. If the plans satisfy local building code requirements you will be allowed to acquire a permit for construction. If the plans are not of sufficient quality or lack correct information, they will be rejected. (many jurisdictions require a minimum drawing sheet size of 11' x 17" for submittal) The quality of the plans is especially important during construction. All project participants need to understand dimensions, locations, construction assemblies and specifications.

Our plans are professionally designed, engineered (as applicable) and drawn for accuracy and clarity. We use the 18" x 24" size black on white copies for field durability and legibility. Compliance with the latest International Building Code (IBC), International Residential Code (IRC) and the Uniform Building Code (UBC) requirements assures successful building permit approval in most locations. There are some coastal and mountainous regions which require special engineering for any structure. With available consultants, we can serve some regions with those special requirements, but not all.

We listen to our customers, so our line of plans is continually expanding. If you have any questions or suggestions call Jay @ 1-800-210-6776. Thank you.

"Hi Jay,
I just wanted to say thanks for the great garage plan web site. The plan my wife and I chose constantly gets complimented on by neighbors, friends and family.  Attached are some photos I thought I’d share.

"Behm Design . . .
I am sending this E-Mail to say thank you.  I purchased a design from you
about two years ago.  It was a three car craftsman style garage.  It built up
very well.  The carpenter complement you on how accurate the materials list
is. . .
Thank you,
-Brian M."
 
 
 
"Here is my completed garage based on Plan 1211-1.  Other than a few minor modifications to windows and an additional garage door opening into my back yard my contractor followed these plans to the letter.  I had very few headaches with the City of Columbus building department.  The plans were submitted with the modifications pencilled in and I had no problems. 
Thank you
-Ed S."

You do some good work there. Your plans are good value

Kind Regards,
