ENVIRONMENTALLY SUPERIOR CHALET WITH OPEN FLOOR PLAN AND MEZZANINE
To enhance the quality of construction and energy efficiency Drummond House Plans proposes a new and innovative approach to ecologically and ergonomically designed house plans.
Plan 2939-ES includes specifications on optimal orientation to inhibit the harsh rays of the sun in the summer and benefit from this passive heat source in the winter months. Tips on planning landscaping to make full use of rain water, shade benefits of some trees and wind breaking characteristics of others are also part of the ES concept.
Details on how to reduce energy consumption include construction methods used for the foundation and extend to choosing certified fixtures, such as an on demand water heater, the best appliances and appropriate lighting.
Aging in place is enhanced with a design that provides for day to day living on the same level including 4’ wide hallways and a linear staircase which can be fitted with an elevator if restrained mobility becomes an issue. There is a moveable island in the kitchen and the living/dining room has a cathedral ceiling along with a fireplace (or wood burning stove). The master bedroom has a private bathroom that can be fitted with safety features if required and the laundry area is close by.
Discover 3240-ES, designed with the same concept in mind, we invite you to comment on this new trend in more livable homes!

2 OPTIONS OF PDF FILE FORMATS ARE AVAILABLE!
OPTION 1: PDF file format - original plan size: 18"x24" or 24"x36"
The "PDF file format - original plan size" is an electronic document identical as the construction blueprint set and it cannot be opened in design softwares (such as AutoCad) but only through ADOBE ACROBAT.
The house plan is provided on its original size which is either 18" x 24" or 24" x 36", depending on the size of the house. It comes with a license allowing you to modify the chosen house, to build only *one (1) house from it, and to print as much as fifteen (15) copies of your plan for your personnal use!
Please note that the purchase of a PDF file format (original plan size) or CAD file format is necessary before any individual, designer, architect, engineer or agency can make any change to a design from the Drummond House Plans' collection. Visit our PLAN MODIFICATION SERVICES page or contact us at 1-800-567-5267 to get your FREE cost estimate on any plan modification or customization!
OPTION 2: PDF file format - smaller plan size
The PDF file format - smaller plan size is an electronic document identical as the construction blueprint set but it comes in a smaller size in order to facilitate or accelerate your construction bidding process (email to contractors, etc.), and it is provided to scale. The purchase of a full set of blueprints is necessary to acquire the "PDF file format - smaller plan size", since this plan option doesn't allow you to build your home from it. It can only be opened through ADOBE ACROBAT.
CAD File Format
The CAD file format is the electronic version of a house plan that contains all of the same information as a construction blueprint set. It can be opened in most professional design programs such as AutoCad, allowing you to modify the chosen house. It comes with a license allowing you to build only *one (1) house.
