There is an intellectual property reuse fee assigned to each such beginning point (which is far less than the original cost of creating that design). Quite often our clients will see some of the projects below or others, while reviewing them in our office, and ask us to use these as a basis of beginning for their project, that allows them to customize an existing design, avoiding the time andĮxpense that went into the development of that particular design. While we do make available copies of some of our former project documents for sale, we are not so much an “existing plans” firm, but rather a Custom House Design architectural firm that provides custom residential design services.

MANY HOUSE PLANS SETS AVAILABLE, from 390 sf small cottages to 1,000 sf heated log cabins, 1,700 sf residences, 2,500 sf custom houses, 3,500 sf to 4,500 sf manor residences to 6,000 sf country estates to over 11,000 heated mountain castles. There, we will review with you, whatever projects you would like to see in whatever detail we have available, along with some built examples. We invite you to our Cashiers, NC office. We state the number of bedrooms (BR) and bathrooms (Ba) and garage parking spaces. We describe each design and provide photos and renderings so that you can understand their appearance and functionality.

We have recently begun to provide plan diagrams of some of our designs this is in-progress and all designs do not yet display this. No doubt, like most people, you will have particular needs that will encourage you to request modifications, which we do all the time. That is why this page is here: check out several re-existing design concepts and see if those might work for you. Still others would enjoy starting with some design that they can see from the beginning, then make changes to that, to suit their needs. However, other people would prefer something ready-made. Some people want a from-scratch house designed for them, as most people have unique requirements. Please read more about our investments in sustainability and our ESG standards here. We calculate the number of trees saved for homes using our roof and floor trusses using a 25% savings on total board footage production. We calculate the number of homes supplied with READY-FRAME® using our average board footage processed per house, which is based on our 2019 READY-FRAME® saw production data and our 2019 data of actual homes produced with READY-FRAME®.The structural building components association (SBCA) study "Framing the American Dream" ( /fad) found that stick-framed structures use 25% more lumber than manufactured components.
