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!
Sleek and modern, the Hemlock house plan is an eye-catching prairie home plan. Low pitched roof, horizontal lap siding, and a rich display of glass with stone accents add to this one story house plans curb appeal.
The front of the home creates a courtyard with the three car, side entry garage. The front door has a small covered space to shelter friends and family. Inside the entry is open and spacious. Short sections of walls combined with columns provide the separation between the entry, dining room, and great room. For those building on a lot that includes a view out the front, the dining room is richly windowed.
The great room continues the trend. A large sliding glass door is framed by windows adding light to the space along with the ability to open the room up to the outdoors on warm summer days. To keep the space feeling comfortable year round, the great room has a fireplace that can also be enjoyed from the kitchen. An island with an eating bar provides some visual separation. The large kitchen is well appointed and also boats a walk-in pantry.
Around the corner a hallway leads to the owners’ suite. This comfortable retreat features a walk-in closet and private bathroom with soaking tub, walk-in shower, twin sinks and private toilet.
The hallway off the kitchen continues beyond the owners’ suite providing access to a powder bathroom, plus the mudroom, utility room, and attached three car garage.
Providing the owners’ suite with additional privacy, the Hemlock’s secondary bedrooms are on the opposite side of the floor plan. They share a compartmentalized bathroom with dual vanities.
Completing the Hemlocks, comfortable and contemporary floor plan is the den that is located off the entry. A set of French doors opens to this bright space which can be furnished as a home office, hobby room, play room for families with young children, or whatever else suites the family’s needs and lifestyle.
