All plans are prepared in the CAD program Vectorworks, which allows for precise measurements and documents that are easily read by you and your installer. It also makes it simple to make changes to the plans at any point in the process. For smaller projects, such as the example on this page, Susan creates a bound set of 11 x 17 documents, with drawings on one side and design notes on the facing page. As design notes are proprietary they are not displayed on this website.
