Important Notes for Our Customers

It is important, before ordering plans, to check with your local Building Official and Zoning Dept. for requirements and restrictions regarding permit submittal for your proposed construction.You will need a site plan and, possibly, other information, in addition to the planset, for gettinga building permit. Some states and localities may require the professional review and stamp of a licensed Engineer or Architect for all work drawings. California, Florida, New York, Washington and other coastal states may have beyond "normal" requirements for wind, seismic and snow conditions. Check with your local Building Official for local requirements.

"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."
