House Plans - Where To Start

"House Plans - Where To Start"," Now you have an abundance of decisions to make.
 What kind of features are you hoping to have.


Consider the future? Are you just starting out and planning a family?  Do you need a guestroom for visitors? Flexible house plans are probably the best option for you.
 If it starts getting small, make sure you allow for expansion if necessary, and make sure it is according to your local zoning laws.
 Where will you place the house so that you get the maximum exposure to sunlight in the morning and in the evening? Make sure the windows are where they are supposed to be.
 There may be a limit in the height of the house or on what percentage of space your house can take up on the lot.
  You can go with a pre-drawn plan or a custom plan that is drawn to your specifications.
 You would want to build the house on the rise of a hill rather than at its base.


When thinking about your house in general, does the house style fit in with the neighborhood?  You wouldn't put a large Victorian house in a neighborhood that had ranch style homes and vice versa.
 The size of the house is important.


Will a lot of changes have to be made? There will be changes at some point to add a garage or change the size or shape of a room is fairly easy but you had better be prepared to pay a lot more for custom plans.
 If the master suite takes up twenty percent of total space is okay if you are also going to use some of that space for a reading area.
 In order to determine the total space of any room you multiply the length times the width and divide that by the total square footage of the home.
 For example, if you want a dishwasher but will have to lose some cabinet space you must decide which is more important cabinet space or the dishwasher.
  If you want each room to have its own color the best plan for you would be a closed plan which would create separate individual rooms.


If you want the space consider planning a room switch.
 An extra bedroom could be come a work out room or a family room/library.
 Once you figure all of this out and you have the plans all set you can if you haven't already choose a lot.
 Once you get the plan you can make any necessary last minute changes.
 The plan for your new home can be either custom or pre-drawn.
 Check with your city or town for their zoning laws.
  Enjoy your new home.
