Question: We are very interested in this plan (after 6 months of discussion!!) with a crawlspace foundation.
We need to be able to accommodate 3 children in separate rooms, the teen could be downstairs. We also need a master suite. Becausing of visiting parents, we also need a small guest room with a closet, no ensuite required. Suggestions? We want a nice size master suite, which could be up or down, and the other bed rooms can all be 11x11 (ish) The bathroom downstairs is great and we would like to have the existing walk in closet stay part of that as a linen area. Please advise if these changes are feasible and the cost to purchase a 8 set plan once the changes have been incorporated.
Answer: Hello we are happy you have come closer to your dream home.
The changes you asked about are feasible, but would require a modification to the plans before you can any further. Before we can give you a price on the sets you will need to do the modification first, you have two options. You can purchase the plans as a Reproducible Master or if the plans come in AutoCAD format and have your local professional modify the plans or you can click the "Modify this Plan" tab on the plans. This will walk you through the process of ordering a modification quote. We will forward your request to the designer and get back to you with a quote to make the changes. The $50.00 fee will be credited to you if you choose to proceed. If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to write us back or call our customer service at 888-705-1300.
In addition to the house plans you order, you may also need a site plan that shows
where the house is going to be located on the property. You might also need beams
sized to accommodate roof loads specific to your region. Your home builder can usually
help you with this. You may also need a septic design unless your lot is served by a
sanitary sewer system. Many areas now have area-specific energy codes that also have
to be followed. This normally involves filling out a simple form providing documentation
that your house plans are in compliance.

What’s Included?
In some regions, there is a second step you will need to take to insure your house plans
are in compliance with local codes. Some areas of North America have very strict
engineering requirements. Examples of this would be earthquake-prone areas of California
and the Pacific Coast, hurricane risk areas of the Florida, Gulf & Carolina Coasts. New
York, New Jersey, Nevada, and parts of Illinois require review by a local professional
as well. If you are building in these areas, it is most likely you will need to hire a
state licensed structural engineer to analyze the design and provide additional drawings
and calculations required by your building department. If you aren’t sure, building
departments typically have a handout they will give you listing all of the items they
require to submit for and obtain a building permit.
Additionally, stock plans do not have a professional stamp attached. If your building
department requires one, they will only accept a stamp from a professional licensed in
the state where you plan to build. In this case, you will need to take your house plans
to a local engineer or architect for review and stamping. In addition, plans which are
used to construct homes in Nevada are required to be drawn by a licensed Nevada architect.
