LOCAL CONDITIONS:
Plans are designed to comply with the INTERNATIONAL RESIDENTIAL BUILDING CODE. These building codes may or may not be the same as the codes and regulations in the locale where the Customer will construct the plans. Our plans are designed to comply with building codes at the time they were originally drawn. Many states and counties amend the codes for their area. It is the responsibility of the purchaser and/or builder to see that the structure is built to meet the codes of your area. Customer hereby indemnifies and holds Mixson Graphics LLC, its principals, employees and agents, harmless from any claim, loss or liability resulting from the failure of the plans to comply with local building codes or regulations or for any other breach of this Agreement attributable in whole or in part to Customer or its builder.
Because local codes and regulations and even methods of construction vary across the nation and internationally, certain alternative planning may be necessary to adapt the plan to your area. For this reason heating and plumbing are not included with our plans. You should be able to meet with these subcontractors to select and plan the system that is most appropriate for your area. Some municipalities may require plan review by a licensed Architect or Structural Engineer in your area. After plan purchase from Mixson Graphics LLC, the customer is responsible for additional expenses incurred through meeting municipality requirements or other requirements for construction.
