All of our home designs are created by a talented architect and most are extremely complex and complicated. We do highly recommend that you acquire the services of a reputable and very experienced builder or general contractor to construct your residence. A good professional contractor will be able to give you an estimate of the cost of your construction project in your area and guide you through the building process. The cost of many of the elements of your home construction are determined by choices that you the owner will make. These elements can greatly influence the total cost of construction and are usually handled by giving the owner an "allowance" for each element based on average cost of said element.
You are guaranteed to receive quality blueprints that are professionally designed and detailed if you select to purchase the enhanced set of construction documents. We create each house plan set to meet nationally recognized building codes. Because of regional
variations, heating and plumbing details are not included. These details can be obtained from your building contractor. Our plan packages will include electrical and lighting layouts along with outlet and switching locations and wiring diagrams for switching and lighting layouts provided.
