HOW TO I KNOW THE HOUSE PLAN WILL FIT MY LOT?

Before you select your house plan purchase, you will need to determine the size of your lot or property. When you originally purchased your property, you should have been provided with a document illustrating the size of your lot. In addition, you may need to hire a land surveyor to survey your property and contact your local planning department for additional lot restrictions.

With the purchase of a full set of house plans you receive a limited build license to use the plans for the construction of one (1) dwelling unit. For more information, please see our terms + conditions.
