Architectural plan set
For homes, cabins, ADUs and barndominiums that need a full plan set, our team works with you and an architect to prepare architectural plans for your Steel Eco-Kit, based on your requirements and property location.
You can use the plans to review your project with your local planning department and contracting team before you order engineered plans. Your local planning department decides on your permit; buying plans does not guarantee approval.
The current plan set page lists the items below. We have grouped them by what they are and when they are supplied. The engineered building and foundation plans are a separate, later step.
In the architectural plan set
Prepared for your property location and requirements. The current page lists a preliminary plan showing:
When your planning department requires a complete set, this can include floor plan, electrical, plumbing and mechanical drawings.
Preliminary construction package
The sample package is marked preliminary, not for construction. It is for reference alongside the engineered plans, which take precedence.
Supplied later, with engineering
Stamped and signed plans for your Steel Eco-Kit and its foundation are produced by the engineering team after you order engineered plans. They are not part of the architectural plan set.
Resources listed with the plan set
These are kit assembly and planning resources, not plan-set sheets.
Tell us what you want to build and where. Ask your local planning department about its requirements, such as snow load, frost depth and wind speed.
Our team works with you and the architect to design a customized floor plan for your building. Revisions are included as described in your plan agreement.
When the floor plan is complete, we prepare a preliminary document package for your planning department meeting. It may include the floor plan, a preliminary building and foundation plan, and a rendering. Use the meeting to confirm setbacks, licensed trade requirements, stamping requirements, plan details and any other local requirements.
Next, you order engineered building and foundation plans. An engineering deposit, about 30% of the building kit price on average, is required first; your project quote sets the exact amount. You then submit the engineered plans and, if your project needs it, the architectural plan set for permit review.
Your local officials decide what your project needs. Having one coordinated set of drawings, prepared for your Steel Eco-Kit and site, can help you get a clear list of requirements before you order engineered plans.

The current page lists a step-by-step video installation guide and a time-lapse building set-up video. These are educational resources for assembling a kit, not plan-set sheets. Ask us how to access them.
These interiors were completed by others and are shown for ideas only. Interior finishing is not part of the kit; it is done by you or your contractors.
Available colors can vary by region. See the colors shown for roofs, walls and trim, and confirm final availability for your kit with our team.
Each of these is a separate stage. Your local requirements decide the details.
Confirm what your planning department needs for your site and building.
Order stamped and signed building and foundation plans.
Submit your documents. Your local authority decides on the permit.
Your local contractor builds the physical foundation from the engineered foundation plans.
Electricians, plumbers, HVAC, insulation and other trades complete their work.
You or your contractors complete the interior.
Tell us what you want to build and where. We will talk through whether your project needs an architectural plan set and what comes next.
