Can I make custom modifications to any of the plans?
The Hempstead Living house plans are meant to serve as a streamlined process for building a hempcrete home; utilizing a pre-designed house plan eliminates a large amount of both time and money from the pre-design process. We can make minor revisions to any of the Hempstead house plans shown here. Minor revisions are defined as any internal changes; any change which requires moving the exterior walls, the roof, or the floor system results in custom changes; all custom changes can be administered through one of our partner companies.
Will these plans guarantee me a building permit from my local jurisdiction?
All building permits are granted through your local building and zoning departments; each municipality may have their own specific requirements. We offer a complete and comprehensive amount of documentation, but we ALWAYS recommend meeting with your local building department first, to understand what they will require for permit approval. It is possible that they may require an architect's stamp, structural engineering, or other specific requirements. Always check with your local jurisdiction first.
I would really like to talk to someone before I purchase a plan.
We offer 1hr. video consultations through the Root Down Building Collective, 501c3; click here to purchase a tax-deductible consultation with Tim and/or April.
How long will it take for me to receive my plans after I purchase?
We are still within our 'soft launch' phase; most plans will take us approximately 2 weeks to deliver. However, this timeline will grow shorter over time, whereas some of our plans will be ready immediately after purchase, and eventually all of our plans will be ready immediately after purchase.
