Not Just a Collection of Plans - A Total Product Solution

Not only do you get great plans that appeal to today's buyers, but each of the plans include alternate elevations, options and details. In one easy step you have a complete portfolio of plans, designed by building industry professionals, for market appeal and ease of construction.

Everything you need to turn your neighborhood into a profit making machine is here, including marketing materials to help you price and manage your project.

Comprehensive Floor Plans

Each plan in the collection has a variety of floor plan options that can be built on the same basic footprint. Bedrooms can be added and reconfigured. Dining rooms can be used as home offices or guest bedrooms. This satisfies a variety of customer desires and results in cost efficiencies for the builder. The construction drawings are builder friendly and every set includes:
  • Complete construction drawings for all elevations and floor plan options
  • Compliance with new code requirements for 7/11 stairs and 2'-8" doors
  • 2x4 or 2x6 wall construction
  • Left and right reading plans
  • Slab, crawl and full basement configurations
  • Detailed sections and structural information
  • Roof framing diagrams
  • Lumber takeoffs on Excel™ spreadsheet
  • Suggested electrical layout
  • Concept drawings for finished basements and deck

 

Different Styles and Widths for Wide Market Appeal

Each plan is designed with a minimum of three alternate elevations. The same basic house can be built with a different appearance tailored to the buyer’s desires without the cost and inefficiency of starting from scratch each time. Three architectural styles have been chosen – Traditional, Craftsman, and Country French.  Exterior details for each style are provided to ensure consistent and authentic design. The styles are compatible so that you can create interesting streetscapes by mixing styles within a neighborhood.

We’ve simplified your work by providing pre-designed elements, such as media/fireplace walls, computer nooks, mini libraries, special entry and room openings, super decks, pre-packaged kitchen upgrades, super-sized family rooms and master bedrooms.
