Why buy pre-drawnhome plans vs. custom home plans? - Part II

By: Mark Mathis Pre-drawn home plans:

Pre-drawn home plans are, by contrast, home plans which have been developed to fit the needs of a particular group of the general population. They are not "custom-designed" for a particular person, but rather, standardized for the needs of a larger group.

Pre-drawn home plans normally include the "most requested" house plan features including square footage, room dimensions, floor plan layout, amenities, and other like features. These home plans provide an excellent value when compared to the corresponding price of a set of fully custom-designed home plans which may well exceed several thousand dollars.

When you buy a Pre-drawn house plan, you're not paying for the countless hours spent drawing up a house plan, re-working the house plan, and finalizing drafts. You're paying a reduced fee for a single license of that plan.

Advantages of Pre-drawn home plans:

- In most cases, are significantly less expensive
- Minor plan modifications can usually be made by the original designer or a local architectural design professional for a reasonable charge.
- Very simple and quick purchase process
- Can order the plans and be able to submit the home plans for a building permit the next day

Disadvantages of Pre-drawn home plans:

- May not be as extensively customizable

In conclusion, I would recommend trying to find a pre-drawn house plan, first, at a reputable online house plan website such as HousePlanGallery.com. There are thousands of pre-drawn home plans available online, and http://www.HousePlanGallery.com offers a huge selection of unique home plans in many different architectural styles.

More likely than not, you'll be able to find what you're looking for by doing a simple search. With so many home plans available to choose from, it's a safe bet that you won't see your house plan replicated in your area. And if you find a plan you like, but want to make a few modifications - no problem! All of the plans available at http://www.HousePlanGallery.com can be modified to your specifications.

Determining whether your particular needs merit custom or pre-drawn home plans is, ultimately, a personal choice based on your particular situation. Both types will provide you with the information that you need to successfully build your dream home!
