THE PEDESTAL
Typical Building Procedure
General Notes & Information
Customer is required to check receipt of material against the Shipping Manifest accompanying the package and inform Logangate Homes of any shortages or damaged material immediately. Logangate Homes will authorize replacement of short/damaged material at its discretion.
Blueprints sent with the package are the final plans to be used for construction. Do not use preliminary plans.
All wall panels, roof panels, interior panels, rafters, and floor joists are numbered. Match these to locations on the plans.
The main support trusses are cambered. Place top of truss where top is indicated. These trusses and 1st floor deck should be square and level. Maintain the dimensions noted on the plans.
All dimensions are framing to framing.
Clear caulking is sent with package. Caulk all corners, door frames, and fixed glass panels.
Most of the package is precut material. Do not cut precut material.
The Pedestal meets most national building codes. Any local code variations that require a change in the package must be brought to Logangate Homes attention prior to ordering.
Logangate Homes does not supply stairways (except for spiral stair kits). The units are designed with stair well openings only. Stairs and walls beneath are the responsibility of the builder.
