Save Time & Money On Plan Designs!

Save Time & Money On Plan Designs!

Want to save time and money when building a Custom Home in Central Florida? Buy a stock plan. 

The trick is buying the right stock plan. 

The worst thing you can do as a homeowner is to buy the wrong stock plan and hire an Architect or Plan Designer on your own. I've seen way to many disasters over the years. 

Homeowner buys a plan on-line thinking it will save $1,000's only to find out it has a basement, crawl space, frame construction, designed for northern climates, not the right CAD program etc.

Believe me, I'm a firm believer in buying a stock plan. It saves months of design time. I can't tell you how many times lot owners have spent months  with an Architect only to end up disappointed. They only wanted a 6,000 SF living area home but left the Architect 1 1/2 years later with a 7,500 SF home.

I remember buying a stock plan for some Clients for $6,000 that was fabulous! They owned a fabulous lot in Windermere. When the plans were created for the original lot owner, it cost $130,000 to design the original plan and 1 1/2 years. We took the CAD file, brought it to my designer and after a few changes we were good to go. The plan even came with interior architectural details!

A good stock plan keeps things from getting out of control. Sometimes, a plan that started from scratch, just keeps growing and growing. Before you know it, the budget is busted.
