It’s finally time to build the home you’ve been dreaming about. After cutting out pictures of houses, keeping mental notes on your favorite floor plans, imaging a design and selecting a property, it is time to make your ideas a reality.
Building a home can be a long and arduous process. If you are looking to move in quickly, one option is to select a pre-designed home. Often what comes to mind when one hears ‘pre-designed’ is modular or mobile home. These fall under the category of pre-built.
Pre-designed homes are simply a completed floor plan and there are thousands of variations to choose from. They can be beautiful. Take for example this rendering:
A common misconception is that purchasing a home like this bypasses the need for an engineer or design team. However, general plans do not take into account local building code or the topography of the property. A designer can easily adapt or modify plans according to your needs. As adjustments are made for local regulations, modifications can be added to customize your home even more. Although many times a house is created from scratch, adapting a template can give you the best of both worlds. Less effort in creating plans yet flexibility to make sure you are building the home of your dreams.
