The plans are free
Every plan on Build Plans is free to use. Using the site means you agree to this page.
How the site pays for itself
Some of the store links on a plan’s shopping list and tool list pay us a small commission when you buy through them. Your price is unaffected. Not every link pays us anything. Those commissions are the only way the site makes money.
What we collect
We count visits with Google Analytics and Vercel Analytics. We also use Microsoft Clarity, which records how people move through a page (scrolls, taps and clicks) so we can see where a plan is confusing and fix it. Clarity hides what you type. These tools use cookies, and Microsoft may also use what Clarity collects for its own purposes, including advertising. Microsoft explains how in its privacy statement.
If you sign up for email, we keep your address to send you updates, and every email has a way to unsubscribe. If you send us feedback, we keep your note, any screenshot you attach, and your email if you give it, and we use them to fix the site.
Prices are estimates
The prices on a plan are estimates, not live prices. The store sets the real price, and it can change at any time, from store to store and day to day. What the store charges at checkout is the price. Check it, and check that your store has the item, before you buy.
The plans come as-is
We work hard to get every cut, count and screw right. Even so, a plan can hold a mistake, and it may not suit your space, your materials or what you mean to use it for. We offer every plan as-is, with no warranty of any kind, stated or implied. That includes any promise that a plan is fit for a particular use.
You build at your own risk
You decide whether a plan is right for you, and you are the one holding the saw. You are responsible for how you build it, and for how you use what you build. As far as the law allows, Build Plans, LLC is not liable for any injury, damage or loss that comes from using a plan or this site.
Check your local building code
Some builds hang on a wall, hold weight over your head, or hold the weight of people. Before you build one, check your local building code, any permit it needs, and your landlord’s or HOA’s rules. A plan is not a code check, and it does not replace advice from a licensed pro where you need one.
