A new custom home build requires a foundation and framing package where every beam, joist, and bearing point is specified and coordinated with the architectural plan.
JRH’s Approach — a coordinated five-sheet set
JRH produced a cover sheet, general notes, a combined foundation and beam framing plan, a dedicated floor joist framing plan, and foundation details — giving the builder a fully coordinated, permit-ready package.
