This YardPod Construction Drawing Set is suitable for a DIYer with construction experience or a professional builder. It is not intended to be a do-it-yourself guide for beginners.
Although our YardPod designs of less than 120 sq ft can be built “as is” without a permit in most places, your local building department may have specific requirements. Some of these requirements, including structural engineering, soils reports and zoning requirements may require significant additional investments.
The typical drawing set does not include any plumbing, heating or air conditioning drawings due to the wide variety of local codes and climatic conditions. These details and specifications are easily obtained from your builder, contractor, and/or local suppliers.
