Today\u2019s budget conscious homeowner is looking for value, both in the cost of the blueprints and cost to build their home.<\/p>\n<p>Stock house plans offer something very important to new consumers &#8211; great value. Not only is the cost of a stock plan considerably lower than a custom design, but also you&#8221;&#8221;&#8221;&#8221;ll save on building costs because stock house plans have already been built thousands of times and the design is proven. A custom plan works out the kinks as you go along, which can dramatically increase your cost to build.<\/p>\n<p>For example, a custom blueprint by an architect or designer can begin at $2 per square foot, which means a 3,000 square foot home plan would cost minimally $6,000 while a similar stock house plan averages around $750. Even with modification costs (we offer free modification quote), a stock plan is considerably more affordable than a custom design.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">Designers Direct House Plan<\/a> continues to add to its collection of energy-efficient designs to meet the demands of consumers looking to build their dream green home.
