Why Buy Home Plans From a Builder?

Choosing the right home plans will affect your life for years. From the flow of the home to the style of the exterior to the mortgage cost you are paying off for many years - there is no incentive to rushing the architectural design process.

As we all know, there are many places where home plans can be purchased. But where is the best place to buy home plans? How do I know if they will be dependable? Who was the person that actually put these together?

Our answer for you - by the plans from a builder!

If you purchase your plans from a builder, there is a good chance that the builder has utilized those plans before, or will utilize them in the future. They are designed with construction in mind, without the unforeseen design surprises that sometimes can occur in plans. 

These plans typically:

• Prioritize efficiency (as it will affect the builders margins and the clients overall budget)
• Guarantee structural components
• Consider design elements that will affect the speed of construction
• Include accurate measurements, located in the necessary places
• Impact the reputation of the builder (accountability)
• Reduce change orders and modifications
• Utilize cost effective materials
• Include standard sized windows and doors (so you're not shocked by custom material prices)
• Prevent misinterpretations and miscommunication

Plans can be beautiful, but are they going to be practical to build? These are conversations that we tackle here at Paragon Home Plans on a regular basis. Clients want to know - what do we actually know about construction??

Our design firm came out of a second-generation custom home builder. Our designers know what makes a home more and less expensive. They know what a $500k home, $750k home, $1M home + looks like and will walk you through the process to not over design (an extremely common issue in our industry).

Better yet, we will align with your builder to ensure that you'll be able to construct the home we design for you. If you need to cut cost, we will do that with you, without compromising the parts of the home you love (like square footage and good quality materials).

If you want a streamlined and stress-free design-to-build process, you need to select a residential designer or architect that works directly with builders. They have heard the client complaints and know the difficult stories, and will seek out your best interest to protect you in this significant investment.
