Stock plans are a wonderful option for anyone wanting to build a new home. They are reasonably priced and, when purchased from a reputable company, are reliable alternatives to a custom-drawn plan. However, there are thousands of stock plan choices available, and no one plan may give you exactly what you want in a finished home.
Don’t despair. You can have the home you want by having changes made to a stock plan. While practically any change can be made to a plan, some changes are easier (less expensive) and more practical. Learn what changes are possible and/or practical, how to proceed and things to watch out for. We’ll help guide you through the experience.
The best way to begin is to locate that stock plan that comes closest to meeting your needs. Then purchase a bid set or study set, depending on what is available from the designer you have chosen. This will make it much easier to fully understand the plan. You can mark up these plans with your changes and use this to communicate with your architect or designer.
