Plan packages start at $995 for this 2,905 square foot home.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Free modification estimates are available on all of the house plans on <a title=\"house plans, home plans, floor plans\" href=\"http:\/\/www.dfdhouseplans.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">DFDHouseplans.com<\/a>. After purchase, consumers and builders are set up with the designer, architect or modification team for a one-on-one phone consultation to review the changes and costs. During the modification process, clients will be emailed PDF drawings of their changes to review before the final blueprints are drawn.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Before you begin shopping online for house plans, start with these helpful tips to ensure that the home you choose requires minimal changes:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Find your land<\/strong>. <a title=\"buying land\" href=\"http:\/\/homebuying.about.com\/od\/secondhomes\/qt\/102507_buyland.htm\" target=\"_blank\">Finding your land<\/a> first is key in selecting a home plan that will fit your lot and require minimal changes. Ask about property setbacks and other limitations to ensure you select the right garage placement and foundation. For example, if you have a sloping lot, you will most likely need a walkout or daylight basement. Depending on where you live and extent of the slope you may be able to utilize a crawlspace.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Think about the future.<\/strong> Carefully consider functionality. You want to choose a floor plan that accommodates your families needs and lifestyle, not just for today but years down the road. Choosing an <a title=\"open floor plans\" href=\"http:\/\/www.dfdhouseplans.com\/plans\/open_floor_plans\/\" target=\"_blank\">open floor plan<\/a> with options to expand is a definite plus. Take note of the location of bedrooms. Having all the bedrooms grouped together when the children are small may sound like a good idea until they are teenagers and you wished you selected a home with split bedrooms (meaning the master is separate from the additional bedrooms).<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"ranch house plan\" href=\"http:\/\/www.dfdhouseplans.com\/plan\/4937\/\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"http:\/\/www.dfdhouseplans.com\/images\/plans\/JAA\/4714%20-Great%20Rm-600.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"325\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #008080;\">This stylish ranch <a title=\"ranch house plan\" href=\"http:\/\/www.dfdhouseplans.com\/plan\/4937\/\" target=\"_blank\">House Plan 4937<\/a> features a spacious interior with volume ceilings. The large kitchen can be made even larger by grabbing some space from the breakfast room. Like all house plans from Direct from the Designers, you can customize these design for an additional fee. The estimate however is free.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Write a \u201cWish List.\u201d<\/strong> Put together a \u201cwish list\u201d of all the features and amenities you would like so when you\u2019re looking through house plans you can see if they\u2019re already included. Little touches like re-designing the kitchen or master bath or adding more built-ins and windows are easy changes that can be facilitated on-site by your builder.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Have a budget<\/strong>. It\u2019s always a good idea to find out what your home building budget is by utilizing a free mortgage calculator and getting pre-approved for a construction loan. Another helpful tool when searching house plans is using a cost estimator that is based on the house plan and your building zip code. Research some local builders to see what they are currently charging per square footage for new home construction.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Find out local building requirements.<\/strong> Before you purchase your house plans obtain a list of required items from your local building department. Some areas like Florida, California, North and South Carolina and Nevada require an engineer seal where a local licensed engineer will analyze the design and provide additional structural detailing required by your local building department. Stock house plans do not come with a professional engineer stamp. CAD packages are available for most stock house plans which make it quicker and more affordable to have them engineered. They are also great for major modifications.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/aFhaCn\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-10234\" src=\"http:\/\/www.dfdhouseplans.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/defaultA.jpg\" alt=\"defaulta\" width=\"600\" height=\"388\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dfdhouseplans.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/defaultA.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.dfdhouseplans.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/defaultA-300x194.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>A great place to get inspired is by viewing our <a href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/w3rGlT\">New House Plan Collection<\/a>, where new home designs are being added weekly.

Make sure you create a free account so you can save your favorite house plans.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Consult with a builder<\/strong>. It\u2019s a good idea to consult with a few builders in your area about the current cost to build. Once you\u2019ve selected a house plan, have a builder review the home prior to purchasing to ensure you order the right plan and options, that it will fit on your lot and meet your local building requirements.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Purchasing house plans.<\/strong> You can expect to pay from $750 to $1,200 for a full set of constructions drawings. The price can vary depending on the size of the home, additional plan options selected and the plan package. If you\u2019re not sure what plan package you need, ask a home plan advisor. You cannot make copies of printed sets so be sure you have enough sets \u2013 packages are typically available in 5 or 8 sets. Other options include a PDF Plan Package, reproducibles and CAD files.<\/p>\n<p>If you need help finding a house plan, please call <strong>877-895-5299<\/strong> or <a href=\"mailto:ccooney@dfdhouseplans.com\" target=\"_blank\">email<\/a> Direct from the Designers and a home plan specialist will be happy to assist you.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.dfdhouseplans.com\/detailed-search\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-9917\" src=\"http:\/\/www.dfdhouseplans.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/Search-Save.jpg\" alt=\"Search &amp; Save\" width=\"326\" height=\"191\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dfdhouseplans.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/Search-Save.jpg 326w, https:\/\/www.dfdhouseplans.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/Search-Save-300x176.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 326px) 100vw, 326px\" \/><\/a><!--origin=4--><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Find your dream home with a stock house plan from DFDhouseplans.com If you\u2019re planning on building a new home, the first step in this exciting project is to find the perfect house plan that fits your family\u2019s lifestyle, budget, personal taste and lot.
