FAQs

Below are the answers to some frequently asked questions.

Building Code Information
All construction plans conform to the Standard Building Code CABO One & Two Family Dwelling Code. Some local laws, regulations, and applications may vary. Local authorities may require certification stamps. Due to specific code requirements, this should be provided locally by an industry professional. Heat and air calculations should be supplied by a local contractor to meet local conditions and requirements. Some states, cities, or municipalities may require an engineer's seal or stamp. You will be responsible for working directly with and providing construction plans to the engineer for these services and fees. Please contact Home Patterns LLC with any questions you may have regarding further work.
