Book Description
Publication Date: June 4, 2011
Takes the reader through all the stages required to
produce a functional and attractive set of working drawings. The
prospective home owner will learn how to start with a pencil-drawn floor
plan, build a 3D computer model and produce and publish a complete set
of house plans. Working with the structural engineer, plan reviewer and
contractor is covered, as well. The entire process can be accomplished
on a home computer with free software available on the internet saving
thousands of dollars. The focus here is on the innovative Monolithic
dome, but the method described will work for any style of construction. A
companion website provides additional information, links and color
versions of many of the images found in the book.
