A predesigned house plan is a ready-made design available for immediate use, ideal for those who want to build their own home without the time and cost of creating a new plan from scratch. These plans can be customized within certain parameters to meet personal preferences. Purchasing a predesigned home plan grants a copyright release and construction documents for building on your property.

Advantages:

• Cost-effective: Significantly cheaper than custom designs since development costs have already been covered. This is a savings of a minimum of $30,000.
• Time-saving: Skip the lengthy design and document creation process, which ultimately allows for a quicker start on construction. This is a savings of 6 months or more.
• Quality and Equity: Building your own home allows greater control of the quality and final result- which typically means higher home value and increased immediate equity ("As Complete Appraised Value") compared to buying an existing home or mass-produced homes.

Using Predesigned Plans:

After buying a plan, you'll receive the necessary documents to give to your builder, who will then handle permit applications and any additional local requirements like engineering for regional conditions (e.g., snow, wind, earthquake loads).
