COMPANY POLICY WITH REGARD TO THE PREPARATION OF DRAWINGS AND STRUCTURAL CALCULATIONS FOR A TAILOR MADE DESIGN

P.T. Bali Woodworld  regularly receives requests for plans and ideas, in average 3 per week or over. We fully understand that a potential buyer would like to see what he is looking for by having the plans available, and/or wishes to receive a structural calculation for a truss frame for a design approval. However, by submitting such plans we take some risk. In the past we produced plans free of charge which were ready for submission to a Building Department, or we submitted detailed plans to potential buyers who had confirmed to place the fabrication order with us. In reality the clients were only interested in our free of charge designs and plans which were later used to lobby and place inquiries or orders with other firms, based on our drawings. Since early 2004 we have drastically changed our policy as to avoid that we do all the architectural and design works for charity. In consequence we now only provide basic and detailed plans following option 1 and 2 described below, however, if a client only requires some general information we will e-mail any of our conceptual designs comprising the floor plan and one or two elevations (free of charge indeed). These plans provide sufficient information as to what the client may be interested in, however the plans are not to scale and only a few main dimensions are given.         

In the event that a client requires the basic or detailed plans we offer two options.

OPTION 1: We prepare a set of drawings  and  structural calculations (if necessary) just enough to comply with the submission requirements of any Building Department for the application of a building license. The set will comprise: situation, floor plan, elevations, cross sections, truss connection details, the roof plan and information on the timber to be used (mechanical properties). A refundable Design fee will be charged in accordance with our fee table (refer to the bottom of this page).      

OPTION 2: Similar to option 1, but we will add all detailed drawings, typical details, the electrical and plumbing plan and the technical specifications. In fact this is a ready to build document and will enable you to both obtain a building license (by submitting part of the set) and utilize the full set of drawings to submit an inquiry for a quotation to any other manufacturer.  A refundable Design fee will be charged in accordance with our fee table (refer to the bottom of this page)       

REFUND OF THE DESIGN FEE

After a client has decided to continue with us and has paid the Design fee we will start with the production of the required drawings. Structural calculations will also be prepared if necessary (*). Once the client has placed the order for the fabrication we will deduct the full Design fee in portions of 50% from the first payment installment and 50% from the second payment installment. By doing this the client in fact obtains a free of charge design.  

(*) Depending on the requirements of a County or Building Department whether or not a structural calculation is required.   

NON-REFUND OF THE ARCHITECTURAL FEE AND/OR THE DESIGN FEE

In the event that a client has paid the Design fee and decides not to place the fabrication order with us, client obtains the full ownership of the plans, however, the Design fee will not be refunded.

We have developed a Design fee calculation table for both Option 1 and Option 2 which is shown at the bottom of our price list. Click <here> for more information as how to obtain our price list
