Plans and Design Work: Not all plans are created equal!
We listen to you!
We then coordinate our Designers and Engineers to develop accurate plans that reflect what you and your family want in their new home for your specific building site. During our preliminary plan phases, revisions are done quickly and sent to you for you review and approval.
Our plans are a roadmap and the communication tool between You, Landmark, Building Department, Contractors, financing sources, etc. They are clear and accurate and show the house you desire.
Once you approve the preliminary plans, we develop the final set of plans for permit application and the building phases. This is a very important step as we work to tie architectural details, engineering, energy and green codes, and site conditions together. Landmark will provide you a unified, complete and accurate set of plans that match and are consistent.
You don’t have to worry about coordinating an Architect, Engineers, green and energy code team to make sure the plans are consistent. We will work directly with your Civil Engineer to coordinate any grading and drainage issues.

Engineering!
We design your home to fit specifically on your land and the building criteria dictated by your building department and the building code. There are no such things as “canned” or “predone” engineered plans when applying for permits in California. Each home must be specifically designed to the building site and its building department.
Soil conditions, land slope, snow loads, high winds, seismic conditions can vary significantly. Landmark’s design, engineering and permitting plans make this an easy and quick process for you.
Each building department, and even plan reviewer, have their own guidelines. We will review their requirements and supply the details necessary to obtain permits. We respond to their requests as they apply to your new home.
This will likely include:
- Full stamped structural design and calculations
- Foundation design
- High wind speed
- High Snow loads
- Seismic
- Full Engineering per your building departments adopted codes and special requirements
We have Engineers licensed in all 50 states and can supply the details and Engineer stamped plans as required by your building department.
Geotechnical and Geological reports
Geotechnical and Geological reports are required by some building departments for a complete structural design. These reports tell our engineers the soil conditions that are supporting the home. These reports are done by licensed Geotechnical and Geological Engineers and they will make a specific recommendation to our Structural Engineers regarding the foundation design.
Geotechnical reports are more common and requested by many building departments. At times our customers question the necessity of the cost and time it takes to obtain a report. We suggest obtaining a report as it provides our Engineers the best information to properly design the foundation. You will get the best designed foundation. If you choose to not obtain a geotechnical report and your building department does not require one, we will follow building department and code recommendations to properly design your foundation.
Energy Codes and Calculations. Solar!
We can develop the energy calculations to determine the energy efficiency of your new home. If you desire to upgrade the energy efficiency we can suggest architectural design and structural design details, alternative materials, site plan orientation analysis, HERS details and mandatory measures.
If you desire to use solar or alternative energy sources, we can work with your specialist to make sure design and structural concerns are taken care of properly.
Building Permits!
Our panelized home package plan set is meant to be used for permit application and the building processes. We supply electronic or paper copies of the plan set so that you can submit for building permits. We will respond, at no additional cost, to checklist items pertaining to our home package until permits are issued.
Our intent is to supply a clear and accurate set of plans for your permit application. We have extensive experience developing plans for our customers and have a proven processes and methods which will make it easy for you to obtain permits. We can work directly with your building department to make sure the plans submitted meet their guidelines.
Some building departments are more sophisticated than others. We can communicate with yours and develop the proper set of plans for quick permit approval. We have extensive experience and knowledge in developing these plan sets. This is a significant time and energy saver for you.
Assembly plans
Prior to delivery we will supply, paper copy and electronic pdf, the assembly plans for your new panelized home kit. Each panel and truss is individually numbered. The assembly plans then show the location of each numbered wall panel and truss. This makes it easy for you to identify the components and have them placed properly when assembling your new panelized kit home.
Delivery of the Panelized Home Kit
We deliver your panelized home kit directly to your building site per an agreed to and predetermined schedule. Delivery is typically within 4 to 5 weeks from the confirmed order. We initially develop a target delivery date. Two weeks into this timeline we communicate with you to see if the date still works for you or if you need it adjusted. We are very quick to deliver and understand that you may need more time to prepare your site and foundation. If that is the case, we can hold the delivery back until your site is ready. We want to make sure your foundation is completed prior to delivery. This will make it easier for all involved.
