PLANS


The Floor Construction Manual, Wall Construction Manual and Yurt Set up Manual all come with the purchase of a roof kit. The Foor Construction Manual  and Yurt Set up Manual are part of the complete kit.

We do not offer or sell plans for the roof or roof construction itself. The reason for this being that the roof is a highly engineered design and building the roof kit is a detailed process requiring special tooling, jigs and patterns to make it as accurately as needed.


BASIC ENGINEERED PLANS

(not included in the kit price)

 

If you need engineered stamped drawings in order to get a building permit, we can create plans that will match the wind, snow load and seismic specifications for your building location. Engineerd plans for the basic round yurt sell for $500. (This price is for a basic round yurt structure, no additions, porches or other special details or engineering. For other designs and engineering please see below).

  We will need to know the requirements for wind, snow and seismic specific to your building site in order to create these plans. Contact your local building department for this information.

 If you live outside of Washington State these plans may need to be reviewed and approved by a local engineer. Check with you local building department to see if they will accept Wa. engineering. If not, finding a local engineer that is familiar with the RISA modeling program is a real plus and will make the reviewing process much easier. 

 

CUSTOM DESIGNS AND ENGINEERING


Site specific engineering and drawings can be created for whatever design you would like. Pricing for plans that require more drafting or engineering than the basic round structure are created at an hourly rate, starting with the basic round yurt plans price of $500. As a guideline, a set of plans for a yurt with a very simple floor plan and room additions may cost about $750. A floor  plan with a basement, loft and additions can run as much as $1500 or more for the drafting and engineering.

We are happy to review your floor plans and offer suggestions, if you like. Any designing time spent beyond a simple review is done at the rate of $75hr.

We are very efficient with our design/drafting time and generally speaking, costs for drawing up your floor plan for your review is no more than a $100. This floor plan will be used in your engineered plans for the building department.
