Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to our most common questions

What exactly do I receive when I purchase a home design plan?

When you purchase a plan from us, you receive a complete set of construction-ready documents including detailed floor plans, exterior elevations, building sections, electrical layouts, foundation plans, roof framing plans, and comprehensive specifications. All plans are provided in PDF format for easy sharing with builders and contractors. Depending on the plan package you select, you may also receive editable CAD files that your architect or engineer can modify to meet local building codes.

Can I customize or modify the plans I purchase?

Absolutely — customization is what we do. Every Study Set includes a free 1-hour design session with our design team. Walk the plan with us, tell us everything you'd change, and within days we'll send concept renderings of YOUR version plus a fixed-price quote to make it real. From minor tweaks to major reconfigurations, our in-house team delivers your plan construction-ready with your changes built in.

How much does it typically cost to modify a plan?

Modification costs vary based on the complexity of changes — simple tweaks are on the lower end, while adding square footage or reconfiguring major rooms costs more. The easiest way to get an exact number: grab a $99 Study Set and book your free 1-hour design session. Walk us through your changes and you'll receive concept renderings of your version plus a fixed-price quote — so you know exactly what your custom plan costs before committing to anything.

What are the different plan packages you offer?

We offer three main packages: (1) PDF Package - includes full construction drawings in PDF format, perfect for getting estimates and submitting for permits; (2) CAD Package - includes editable AutoCAD files plus PDFs, allowing your architect or engineer to make modifications; (3) Multiple Build License - includes PDF and CAD files with the right to build the home multiple times (typically 3-5 builds). Most homeowners building a single home choose the PDF or CAD package.

What should I do first after purchasing plans?

Your first step should be to meet with your local building department to understand permit requirements and any plan modifications needed for local codes. Simultaneously, share the plans with 3-5 licensed contractors to get competitive bids. Many clients also consult with a local architect or engineer at this stage to review the plans and make any site-specific adjustments. We recommend creating a project binder to organize all documents, estimates, and correspondence.
