  • Elevations

  • Sections

  • Construction drawings

  • Details

  • Layouts

  • ADU designs

  • Remodel designs

  • Concept drawings

  • Drafting files

  • Design development documents

Payment for design or drafting services does not automatically transfer copyright ownership of these materials.

Copyright ownership and the client’s right to use project documents are governed by the applicable project agreement and intellectual property law.

6. Client License to Use Project Plans

Unless otherwise expressly agreed in writing, after payment of all amounts due, a client receives a limited license to use final project documents for the specific property and project for which those documents were prepared.

The client may ordinarily provide necessary copies to contractors, subcontractors, engineers, consultants, building departments, lenders, homeowners associations, and other parties reasonably involved with that specific project.

This project license does not constitute a transfer of copyright ownership.

7. Plans Are Generally Licensed for One Project

Unless otherwise agreed in writing, plans created for a particular client and property may not be reused to construct another project at another property.

Plans may not be:

  • Resold

  • Licensed to another property owner

  • Used for multiple construction projects

  • Published for commercial purposes

  • Offered for sale online

  • Distributed as stock plans

  • Submitted as another designer’s work

  • Used to create substantially copied commercial plans

Additional uses require prior written authorization from Colorado Building Plans or the applicable copyright owner.

8. Modification of Plans

Clients, contractors, engineers, or other professionals may occasionally need to modify project documents.

Permission to use project documents does not necessarily grant permission to create unrelated derivative works or commercially exploit modified versions.

Colorado Building Plans assumes no responsibility for unauthorized modifications made to its plans, drawings, designs, or documents by other parties.

A person modifying project documents is responsible for the modifications and their consequences.

9. Preliminary and Unselected Designs

Preliminary concepts, sketches, alternative layouts, draft plans, renderings, and design options presented during a project may remain protected intellectual property even when the client selects a different design.

Payment for a final design does not automatically grant ownership or unrestricted rights to every preliminary or rejected design created during the design process.

Unless otherwise agreed in writing, Colorado Building Plans retains its rights in unused design concepts and preliminary materials.

10. CAD and Editable Source Files

Editable source files, CAD files, working files, model files, templates, libraries, internal design resources, and other production files are not automatically included with delivery of printed or electronic project documents.

Providing PDF plans or other final documents does not constitute an agreement to provide editable source files.

Any transfer or licensing of editable files must be expressly agreed upon in writing.

11. 3D Renderings

3D renderings, visualizations, models, and conceptual images created by or for Colorado Building Plans may be protected by copyright.

Clients may use project-specific renderings for reasonable personal purposes associated with their project unless their project agreement states otherwise.

Commercial republication, resale, licensing, or unrelated use requires permission.

12. Project Photographs

Photographs appearing on ColoradoBuildingPlans.com may be owned by Colorado Building Plans, licensed from photographers or other providers, supplied by clients or contractors, or otherwise used with authorization.

Website publication does not place photographs into the public domain.

Visitors may not copy, download, republish, sell, distribute, or commercially use website photographs merely because they are publicly viewable.

13. Client-Provided Materials

Clients may provide photographs, drawings, surveys, plans, specifications, logos, documents, or other materials for use in connection with their projects.

By providing such materials, the client represents that they have sufficient authority to provide them for the intended project use.

Clients retain ownership of their original materials subject to any rights held by third-party creators or copyright owners.

Providing materials to Colorado Building Plans grants us permission to use them as reasonably necessary to perform the requested services.

14. Third-Party Materials

Names, logos, slogans, designs, trade dress, service names, and other brand identifiers used by Colorado Building Plans may constitute trademarks or service marks under applicable law.

The name Colorado Building Plans, associated logos, and other distinctive branding may not be used in a manner likely to cause confusion regarding affiliation, sponsorship, approval, or endorsement.

Nothing on ColoradoBuildingPlans.com grants a license to use our trademarks except with prior written authorization or as otherwise permitted by law.

16. Trademark Symbols

The absence or presence of the symbols ™, SM, or ® does not determine whether intellectual property rights are claimed in a particular name, logo, slogan, or brand identifier.

The ® symbol will be used only where applicable to a federally registered trademark.

Names or branding identified with ™ may represent trademarks in which rights are claimed regardless of federal registration status.

17. Third-Party Trademarks
