If you are looking for information on top quality downloadable building plans whether you are building a new home, cabin, garage, barn or shed, then you have come to the right place. Here at Building Plans and House plans we can help you to save hundreds and often thousands of dollars on your plans needs.
Here is a question for you. Why spend thousand’s of dollars on custom building plans or house plans when you can download top quality architect created building plans for a few measly dollars?
Here at Building Plans and House Plans we have resources for those looking to build themselves as well as people seeking to save on the expense of costly custom plans for their builder.
The starting point of any building project is a good set of Building Plans for your planned project. Ask any good builder and he will tell you the better set of plans he has to work with, the better the completed project, and not only that the better chance the project has of being completed on time and on budget. But, is it really necessary to spend for you to spend hundreds of dollars on custom architect designed building plans or house plans?
The answer to this question in most cases is no, it is not. Sure if you are building your multi-million dollar dream home or a fairly unique project with specific features which are outside the normal remit, then yes you will need custom building plans drawn up to reflect your special needs and requirements and you will have to be prepared to spend a premium to have these house plans drawn up for you.
But what about the more usual project, a standard four bedroom home for instance, a two car garage, a two room cabin or a barn for example? Probably 80% or more of typical residential building projects can be built from standardized house plans and building plans that are already on the market as opposed to expensive custom plans. Sure they may need a little bit of minor alternation to customize them to you and your families specific needs, but the bulk of the work is already done for you.
This is what a lot of smart home and project builders have discovered and they are saving often many thousands of dollars by purchasing already created building plans and house plans for a fraction of the cost that they would have to have paid for an architect to create custom designed house plans for them.
The cost of custom plans may shock you. Here are a few examples of just how much custom building plans could potentially cost you-
1/ Small house plans $1000
2/ Large House plans Up to $4000
3/Garage plans$250-$500
4/ Cabin plans $750
5/ Barn Up to $1500
So why pay big bucks for an architect to run up a set of building plans or house plans for you when you can download top quality architect designed house plans at a fraction of the cost that you can use to get started straight away or pass on to the contractor doing the job for you?
Here is an example of the quality and detail of the building plans I am talking about-
I was in your position six months ago when I wanted to build a very standard design three bedroom rental property, nothing flashy, just a pretty basic rental unit to supplement my income. Boy was I shocked to be quoted over $1,700 to draw up what were going to be a very basic straightforward set of contractor building plans for the project. That was a month’s rental income right there!
Luckily I happened to be chatting to a work colleague one evening and he put me onto an online site where he got himself a set of building plans for his holiday home at a ridiculously low cost compared to what he was quoted by an architect to design the property for him.
The site was called Blueprints for Houses, Cabins, Garages and Barns, and as the name suggests offers a wide range of building plans and house plans for a variety of different projects. I had a good look around the site and was very impressed with what I saw both in terms of the quality of the plans offered and the incredibly low cost of the plans compared to custom designed building plans.
The designer of the building plans and owner of the site was a guy called John Davidson. John is a residential architect with over 25 years experience and has drawn almost 550 house plans in the last 10 years alone not to mention hundreds of garage plans and many other building project plans besides.
Please read the next post when I take a closer look at John Davidson’s Building Plans, are they really a genuine alternative to buying custom plans?
