Our
construction blueprints for stock
plans are designed to meet nationally
recognized building codes and will
vary depending on the individual
home. Most of our stock plans were
originally designed for local
builders, who've built the plans- so
you can be sure they're
"buildable" plans!
Pre-drawn plans are available at a
fraction of the cost of a
custom-designed home.
At this time,
not all of our stock plans have been
updated for local
Mississippi/Louisiana newly- enforced
building codes since Hurricane
Katrina. Please make note of this
when ordering stock plans without
modifications! Any stock plan orders
that are ordered with modifications
will be updated for the new codes, if
they haven't already been and if
requested. Make
sure to mention that you need the
plans changed for the new codes.
Each set will include
the following plans:

the front (done at 1/4" =
1'-0" scale) and the rear and

including exterior materials and roof
pitch.

variations, local availability of
materials, local codes, and methods
of installation it is impossible to

will fit your budget and lifestyle.
