Custom Home Plan Drafting & Design

Here is a question I got today and my response:

I was wondering if you could tell me how this process works.  We need some drawings prepared of our existing house and then some drawings prepared of renovations that we want to do here.  I already have quite a bit on paper, but it is all hand drawn and we would like it on CAD.



I will need pictures of your existing house from all angles so that I can draw the existing house and understand how it relates to its context. For a permit you will need to send me your plot plan or approved site plan, you will have received one at the time of closing of your property.
Where are you located? Permit plans vary according to where you live, Please let me know where you are and I will verify what drawings you will need to get for your permit. I charge from .90 cents per square foot for new construction to $1.50 per square foot for additions.

Looking forward to helping you realize your house plans!

Custom Home Plan
Home Plan Designers

Custom House Plans are just that- custom- made to order, customized to meet your needs and wishes. Its not something ready made that you buy off the shelf. We work with your sketches, pictures and images to come up with an individualized " made to fit" plan that does all you need it to. I have put some samples of past projects up in the gallery mainly to show that we offer a full building set, not just plans and elevations. We will work with you to get a set of plans that you can take to get a building permit in your jurisdiction. This varies from place to place; we actually call them up and verify what they are expecting to see when you go in with your plans so there are no surprises at the time of submittal. Get Professional Architectural advice and design attention affordably. Get a Custom House Design from the professionals at House Plan Architect.

 
Custom Home Plans

A custom home plan usually takes 3 to 4 weeks to make a full set. This includes time for corrections, redraws, and approvals  Try to get all of your documents together at the beginning. You will need the site plan and site info, number of rooms you want, photos of houses you have seen that you like, and parts of plans that you wish to incorporate into your home.Why settle for something that's not exactly what you want when you can have a custom home plan made to your specifications.

We offer 3d renderings, animations, and photo realistic computer generated views of your project. Our rates are very competitive and our quality is second to none.

Most people are pretty good at knowing what kind of plan and functionality they want in their new house. Few people are as good at coming up with elevations and stylistic variations. This is one of the areas in which House Plan Architect can really help you. I can give you 3 or 4 different elevation studies in a very short time, as well as showing some roofing solutions for those tricky roof junctions. All this in a package price, or by the hour. Customize your house plans and get the confidence your house will look great.
