Design derives from life experience.  No building code can order life experience.  A building code can only provide guidelines broadly for one element of form, i.e., structure — materials and methods of their application, what you see mostly in house blueprints.

Our design standards for home building plans and house blueprints achieve what building codes cannot; namely, design standards can be either generally effective or specifically addressed to a particular custom home building project in addition to and beyond codified requirements.  Design standards can even repeat building codes should certain facets of custom home building be worthy of highlight or reemphasis.

Building Codes of any and all sorts are MINIMUM standards.  The National Electrical Code 2002 sums up a code's relevance in a manner that is applicable to any such regulatory prescription –

"Article 90.1(B)  This Code contains provisions that are considered necessary for safety.  Compliance therewith and proper maintenance will result in an installation that is essentially free from hazard but not necessarily efficient, convenient, or adequate for good service or future expansion of electrical use."  NEC 2002, National Electrical Code, International Electrical Code Series, National Fire Protection Association, 2002, p.70-29.

That's why there are design standards.

To our best understanding, this is a one-of-a-kind presentation in terms of its broad content by subject and in terms of certain selected topics, e.g., finishing, layout, etc.
