Hey @betty_chenj Welcome to the forum Correct Strip Footing 1 (SF1) is a standard/typical detail. It may not be a deepened Footing. You better crosscheck that with the cross section, site plan and Engineering Details or you might be in for a $ticker $hock variation Cheers Chris

PDH aren't the only ones that delay signed contracts, use clients deposits for their own cashflow and then take out the insurance policies just before BA...that's if they don't go broke first Add those that are underinsured, because the builders didn't update the policy to include post contract vari...

Didn't you say in your first post to get drawings done once and then take them to builders quote? Whereas now are you saying not to do that? commissions, that you aren't aware off. Architects and salesman survive on Commissions. You can't get Quotes or Build without Working drawing and engineering....

Thanks for the feedback. Do you think that's a better way to go than using a builder who also helps with the design / drawings? I get that I'll get much better quotes with everything drawn up but I guess I just thought the variation would be say 10-25%, not as dramatic as I'm seeing. The industry i...

Yep. It's not hard for them to punch in a substantially similar design into their software to spit out what they need. It's not rocket science and most of it is automated.

I couldn't agree with you more! My belief is that the threat of copyright on plans is a threat used to scare people from going to other builders and essentially trapping them. the problem is that even the builders themselves are part of it. when we wanted to price our house with a different builder...
