Most cottage plans show a relative building height, as measured to the ground at 4″ below the ground floor slab, or as indicated on the plan. Building heights must be checked for the location to be built on as the maximum building heights are allowed for the site concerning local zoning codes and current flood elevations. Plans may need to be elevated more than indicated on Coastal Designs plans to meet Flood Elevation requirements.
