Concept Plan

Who should consider buying a Concept Plan*?

Customers who must have home plans drawn locally to meet the specific building code requirements of their jurisdiction, including local engineering or architectural seals, but who do not require plan specific documentation or drawings.
No construction prints are included with a “Concept Plan.”
The “Concept Plan” grants you the right to change this home design to meet your specific needs and the right to construct the home. You or your local architect/drafting service draft the plan to meet your specific needs in relation to building codes in your area.
This is a legal document; please keep it in a safe place. You will need to reference the License Number when inquiring about your design.

Study Sets – PDF

Sometimes you need to price out a home in order to get the sale, but you need the plan to get accurate bids. Our Study Set is one complete set of construction drawings, which is the exact same set we would send you if purchasing the design.
A Study Set is for study purposes only and is stamped, “Illegal to Build From – For Study Purposes Only.” It does not include our Construction License, and you cannot legally build a home from the Study Set. The Study Set purchase price is 100% applicable towards the purchase of the construction print(s) for that design.
