What is the difference between Design Prints and Construction Prints?
Design Prints are what we call Schematic Drawings in the architecture world. They show the floor plan of the house, and the exterior elevations, but none of the technical content required to actually build the house. These are intended to help you decide if you really like the house and want to purchase the full set of Construction Prints. Design Prints are not for construction. Construction Prints are what architects call Construction Documents or Working Drawings. They contain detailed information needed to get a price from a builder, acquire permits for construction, and ultimately to build the house. They are not as pretty as the Design Prints either!
