Steel Frame Home Plans

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.

Absolutely! We offer several levels of customization. Minor modifications (moving doors, windows, or interior walls) can often be handled by your local builder or architect. For more extensive changes—like adding square footage, changing the roofline, or reconfiguring room layouts—we offer professional modification services for an additional fee. You can also purchase editable CAD files and work with your own architect or designer to make changes.

Modification costs vary based on the complexity of changes. Simple modifications (relocating doors, adjusting window sizes, or changing finishes) typically range from $500-$1,500. More substantial changes like adding square footage, changing the foundation type, or reconfiguring major rooms can range from $2,000-$5,000 or more. We provide free estimates for all modification requests—just send us a detailed list of the changes you'd like to make, and we'll give you a quote within 2-3 business days.

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.

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.
