Frank Betz Associates, Inc. plans are created with the highest standards of quality. Each plan goes through a comprehensive checking process to ensure accuracy. Our plans are drawn to meet the 2006 International Residential Code of One & Two Family Dwellings and the 2006 International Building Code with Georgia amendments. Many states and counties amend the codes in their area. Consult your local building officials to determine the plan, code and site requirements. Frank Betz Associates, Inc. home plans are not stamped by an architect or engineer.

The square footage of our home plans is calculated by measuring from the outside face the exterior wood framed walls. The square footage does not include decks, porches, garages, basements, attics, fireplaces, and two-story or vaulted areas. Stairs are counted once with the first floor. Balconies and open walkways in two-story and vaulted areas are included with the second floor.

Our plans include all of the drawings typically needed for construction, except for site specific information and heating or cooling requirements. Framing plans are available for most, but not all home plans. Our Southern Living plans do not have separate framing. Each building department's requirements for plan submission vary. We recommend that you contact the building official in your area for their specific requirements.
