1. Construction Plans<\/span><\/h3>\n

Our Traditional Home package allows you to create an optional crawl space, walk-out or in-ground basement to maximize the value of your home and to make the best use of your site.<\/p>\n

Our final construction plans are widely regarded as the best in the business by custom builders. They contain all the detail required to obtain building permits and build the home quickly and efficiently.<\/p>\n

We have a large in-house team of experts who can modify the plans to suite individual site conditions. All our plans are Engineer reviewed for conformance to the National Building Code in the United States. Our assurance of conformance, however, does not extend to include special local conditions, seismic and \/or wind loading. A local engineer should be retained to respond to these conditions. Any applicable local costs are the responsibility of the customer.<\/p>\n

2. Foundation Plans<\/span><\/h3>\n

Linwood includes a foundation plan for the home, including crawlspace, partial, full or walk-out basement. This plan is based on standard soil load bearing characteristics. The main and upper floors of the home package can be built on any type of properly constructed foundation.
- Materials needed to complete the basement are available as an option. These materials consist of exterior and interior framing lumber, support beams and posts, sheathing, siding, exterior doors and windows to match the main and upper floors of the home.
- Materials such as anchor bolts, hardware and shear walls required by local engineering or building codes are not included.
- Costs resulting from local engineering requirements relating to foundation work and structure of the home are the responsibility of the customer.<\/p>\n

3. Hi-Line Structural Framing Components<\/span><\/h3>\n

We use hi-line appearance grade structural framing lumber. This is kiln dried for maximum stability. It is superior to standard export grade product and can only be sourced from selected sawmills.<\/p>\n

This premium material gives you faster construction, straighter walls and a better interior finish result with less waste. We also use Edge Gold OSB floor sheathing and OSB wall sheathing. Many contractors and building inspectors have commented that our framing material is the finest they have ever seen. Borate and heat treating is available as an option.<\/p>\n
