Why buy pre-drawnhouse plans vs. custom house plans? - Part II

Stock house plans:

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

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

When you purchase a Stock floor plan, you're not paying for the countless hours spent drawing up a design, re-working the design, and finalizing drafts. You're paying a reduced fee for a single license of that plan.

Advantages of Stock house plans:

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

Disadvantages of Stock house plans:

- May not be as extensively customizable

In conclusion, I would recommend trying to find a pre-drawn floor plan, first, at a reputable online house plan website such as HousePlanGallery.com. There are thousands of pre-drawn house plans available online, and http://www.HousePlanGallery.com offers a huge selection of unique house 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 house plans available to choose from, it's a safe bet that you won't see your floor 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 house 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!
