Here is what you need to know about purchasing house plans from HPC:
Ready to purchase plans and unsure which construction package to choose? We hope the following can help you decide.
This is a single set of prints will allow you to completely review the plan, get accurate quotes for construction costs, and contemplate custom design changes you may wish to make. Study sets are marked Not For Construction and without the license necessary to legally build the home. Don't worry though, we allow a 100% upgrade credit towards a buildable licensed construction package within one year of your 1 Set Study Package purchase.
These are licensed print packages of the construction documents printed and shipped to you.
This PDF package is a non-modifiable, print only PDF file that saves time, gas, money, and paper! Many contractors and building jurisdictions are working with digital formats of the construction documents. The PDF print package allows for you or your contractor to distribute the construction documents to sub-contractors, use electronic submittals to apply for the building permit, and print the sets you need when you need them.
An unlocked modifiable PDF file. Same conveniences as the PDF print package with the added benefit which allows your local professional to make engineering mark-ups or design changes using compatible software.
By using CAD compatible software that use .dwg or .dxf file formats enables you or a local professional to modify the construction documents and integrate those changes throughout the entire plan. Once the modifications or engineering is incorporated into your design, you can reproduce as many copies of the plan needed to build the structure.
Still unsure which package to choose? You may want to discuss this with your builder or give us a call.
When looking at plans, most often it's the exterior profile that will first grab your attention. You love the exterior, it's exactly what you envisioned, but what about the inside of the design? It's important to spend some time and digest the design's interior elements. Here are a few considerations to think about when evaluating if this is the right plan for you.
After reviewing giving it careful consideration you may find that the plan would be perfect with a few design changes. HPC can certainly help you with that with our customization services.
So you've found that almost perfect design, and find yourself saying, "if only". Whether it's changing the size of a room, adding space or features, or moving things around, we can help you take that almost perfect design and make it perfect for you.
It's exciting to create a plan to fit your exact needs and wants whether it's your home, garage or even a potential investment property.
When you locate your plan, select the "Get Started" button located on the plan detail page. Here you will be able to share with us the changes to the interior and/or the exterior of the design. You can even upload a sketch if you have one. Complete the necessary contact information and select "Submit Request".
HPC will then forward your request to a designer to evaulate your changes and provide a quote within two business days. HPC is a "true quote" plan website. That means HPC will not mark-up the modification quote, we want to help keep costs down for you!
