This year’s Tour not only includes new homes, condominiums, and land, but also remodeling projects for the first time - making it the only Tour of its kind in Wisconsin!
Presented by
The projects, scattered throughout southeastern Wisconsin, provide an excellent convenient resource to anyone looking to buy a new home or update their existing home. MBA members will be on hand to discuss the project details with visitors. I encourage you to find inspiration in all of the sites.

This Abode Planbook will serve as your guide to the Tour with a map and full listing of the projects on the following pages. This Abode Planbook is also offered in a convenient interactive digital format making it easier than ever to take it along with you on the Tour.

Copyright Infringement Two simple words brought on by one simple action: copying. If you want your home building experience to be a positive one, stick with the plans you know are legitimate.
T
he home plans you see during the 2012 Metropolitan Builders Association's Spring Tour are a true testament to the vision of the MBA builders. Because there is so much work that goes into the design and construction of a home, there are also laws in place that protect each home’s unique design. Just as there has been copyright protection in place to safeguard the original works of authors of literary, dramatic, musical and artistic works, in 1990, copyright protection was extended to include architectural works. With respect to new home construction, the federal copyright laws protect the copying of all or a portion of a home design. Protection is found in two different areas: The protection of the design plans, including blueprints and floor plan layouts. The protection of the completed structure, including its overall interior and exterior appearance. This means that while you are welcome to browse the Spring Tour projects and pick up information, you need to remember that the plans builders have available for you, detailing the layout and the exterior of the home, are for educational purposes only. You may not copy those plans. If you bring plans gathered at the Spring Tour of Homes, Condominiums & Land to another builder and ask him or her to duplicate the
same home for you, you would be in direct violation of the 1990 Copyright law. Many copyright infringement cases in southeastern Wisconsin have resulted in extensive litigation and significant judgments, the consequences for which are very serious and can result in substantial financial penalties. Recent parties convicted of architectural copyright infringement have been required to pay anywhere from $15,000 to $125,000. In future cases, penalties may be higher or lower depending on the extent of copyright infringement. Consumers who are interested in building new homes should consider the following advice to avoid copyright infringement claims: 1) N ever ask one builder to copy all or part of the design or finished appearance of another builder. 2) W hen interviewing builders and shopping for different home designs, ask each whether he or she has a home design that incorporates the style or features you are looking for. Explain the style or features by giving examples, but keep in mind that copying is prohibited. 3) M ake sure that you are purchasing the rights to a legitimate plan by asking the builder to confirm that he or she has the right to build the plan or design that you have selected.
14 Abode Spring Tour Edition 2012
If you see a specific feature, like a sunroom, in a home that you like, you could ask the builder if he/she has something similar in one of their home designs or if he/she could design something similar. The key to avoiding copyright infringement is to understand that copying any part of another builder’s plan is against the law. If you ask your builder to construct the same exact feature found in another builder’s home, it is a violation. Keep in mind that individual standard features or design elements that are functionally required may not be copyrighted (such as doors, windows and stairs). One question frequently encountered by area attorneys is how handwritten sketches are viewed with regard to the copyright law. Many homeowners believe that when they contribute their own sketch to a builder, detailing ideas for a floor plan or a specific design idea, they have rights to the final design of the home. In reality, the copyright is owned by the person who puts the ideas into final form. When an owner’s sketch is incorporated into an architectural design it becomes part of the architectural design and becomes the property of the person who drew the plan. While the homeowner still has rights to his or her sketch, that is the only part of the plan he or she may take to another builder without having to worry about infringing on the copyright owned by another party.

The owners of this 1930s two-story colonial felt they needed additional space to fit their entertaining and busy lifestyle. The first floor boasts a new updated open kitchen that showcases an island with a cement countertop. Walk into the new family room to the warmth of a California Gold slate fireplace. Upstairs the new master bedroom suite includes a beautiful, relaxing bathroom with extra large shower, a soaking tub, and custom made vanity with stone countertop, all in sleek contemporary finishes. This home is a must see on the Spring Tour of Homes remodel weekend. See you there!
Our customer's 1800s victorian home, located on Fowler Lake, had been turned into a four-family residence. They wanted to restore it to a single-family home with an in-law suite for their parents. There were two staircases in the home. One was removed, and the other was relocated to the front foyer to create a larger living space and better flow throughout the home’s interior. The living room fireplace was rebuilt to make it structurally and aesthetically appealing. In addition, three other fireplaces were restored in the home. The kitchen was relocated and remodeled, and the kitchen porch was changed into a four season room, so the homeowners could relax and overlook the lake year-round. The second floor was changed from an apartment to two bedrooms, a den, a full bath and laundry room with a sewing desk. A grand entrance was built with a beautiful mahogany, custom staircase. Custom doors and trim were made to match the original style of the home.
