GC-ADU-490: Cold Climate Architectural Plan Set

GC-ADU-490: Cold Climate Architectural Plan Set

$5,995.00मूल्य
The GC-ADU-490 Cold Climate Plan Set is a high-performance architectural drawing package designed for cold and heating-dominant regions where envelope performance, condensation control, and durability are critical.
 
This architectural plan set is intentionally complete enough for immediate pricing, engineering coordination, and permitting adaptation.
 
This version builds on the same permit-proven layout as the Standard Climate model, with enhanced thermal assumptions intended for thicker SIP assemblies, higher R-values, and cold-weather detailing.
This plan set is ideal for projects in northern states and mountain regions that require stronger thermal performance without redesigning the layout from scratch.
 
Designed to the 2021 International Residential Code (IRC) and engineered for SIP construction.
 
Optimized For:
IECC Climate Zones 5–7
Colorado, Utah, Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana, northern states
High heating loads and freeze/thaw cycles
 
Thermal Configuration (Architectural Basis):
Wall Panels: R-36 (8.25″ EPS SIPs)
Roof Panels: R-54 (12.25″ EPS SIPs)
Floor Panels: R-54 (12.25″ EPS SIPs)
 
Cold Climate Enhancements (Architectural Assumptions)
Enhanced air-sealing strategy
Condensation control detailing
Freeze-protected plumbing routing allowances
Snow-load compatible roof assumptions
 
(Final structural and energy compliance completed during adaptation.)

  • Architectural Plan License Agreement

    GC-ADU-490

    ARCHITECTURAL PLAN LICENSE AGREEMENT

    Effective January 2026

    This Architectural Plan License Agreement (“Agreement”) is between Guesscreative LLC, a Texas limited liability company (“Licensor”), and the purchasing individual or entity (“Licensee”).

    By purchasing, downloading, or using the GC-ADU-490 plan set, Licensee agrees to this Agreement.

    1. LICENSED MATERIAL

    This Agreement applies to the GC-ADU-490 Accessory Dwelling Unit Plan Set, including Standard and Cold Climate variants (the “Plans”).

    2. LICENSE GRANT

    Licensor grants Licensee a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the Plans solely to construct the number of dwelling units expressly licensed.

    Unless stated otherwise:

    • One (1) license permits one (1) constructed dwelling

    • Additional dwellings require purchase of Additional Build Licenses

    The Plans are licensed, not sold.

    3. PERMITTED USE

    Licensee may:

    • Use the Plans for the licensed project

    • Submit the Plans to the applicable Local Authority Having Jurisdiction (LAHJ)

    • Share the Plans with contractors, engineers, consultants, and SIP manufacturers only for the licensed project

    • Coordinate SIP fabrication with Premier Building Systems or another ICC-ES certified SIP manufacturer

    4. PROHIBITED USE

    Licensee may not:

    • Construct additional dwellings without an Additional Build License

    • Transfer, sell, sublicense, or share the Plans for unlicensed use

    • Use the Plans for resale, mass production, or replication

    • Modify the Plans for reuse without jurisdictional coordination

    • Substitute stick-frame construction for SIPs without Licensor approval

    • Claim ownership or authorship of the Plans

    5. ADDITIONAL BUILD LICENSES

    Each Additional Build License permits construction of one (1) additional dwelling using the same plan set.

    • Price: $1,500 per additional build

    • Non-transferable

    • Does not include site plans, engineering, adaptation, or modifications

    • Valid only for the same ownership entity unless approved in writing

    6. JURISDICTIONAL ADAPTATION & STAMPS

    Licensee acknowledges:

    • Most jurisdictions require a licensed engineer’s stamp

    • Some jurisdictions require both an architect’s and engineer’s stamp

    • Base plans are reference designs, not universally permit-ready

    • Engineering stamps are site- and jurisdiction-specific

    Jurisdiction-Adapted and Turnkey packages may include:

    • LAHJ-specific notes

    • Energy compliance updates (Title 24 or equivalent)

    • Climate, seismic, and fire-zone adjustments

    • Site plans and stamped engineering (when included)

    7. SIP CONSTRUCTION REQUIREMENT

    The Plans are engineered for Structural Insulated Panel (SIP) construction.

    • Stick-frame substitution requires full re-engineering and approval

    • Unauthorized substitution voids approval precedent

    • SIP coordination must align with manufacturer specifications

    8. MIRRORED PLAN SETS (OPTIONAL)

    Mirrored plans are:

    • Architectural reference drawings only

    • Subject to additional jurisdictional or engineering review
