What People Are Saying
“Jim worked with us and our budget to find a design and modify it to save us time and money. He showed great flexibility and provided great insight as to what we could expect.”
— Andrew
“Our experience was superb! Working with Jim and his crew was an easy and pleasurable process in designing our homes. After working with Jim on our home in Ohio, we were fortunate to have him design our next home in Connecticut (due to a business transfer). His calm and professional manner made this step to homebuilding a joy. Jim was so very helpful in providing suggestions and listening to our needs, which made our finished homes exactly what we had imagined.”
— Nadine + Kirk
“Our experience was amazing. From our first meeting to the final touches, Jim and his team understood our vision. They were incredibly professional and responsive to all of our needs. ”

Plan Modification.
Hundreds of homes have been built from plans prepared by The Plan Drawer. A significant percentage of these were custom homes built from the very same stock plan designs found in our library. One thing is certain about these vast number of homes: virtually everyone makes changes to the plan while building their home. We’re happy to customize the design to suit your specific requirements, regardless of whether they are required by your lot, local municipality plan requirements, local market requirements, or just personal preference.

Factors to Consider.
When searching for your home plan, consider these factors:
Determine your family lifestyle requirements to incorporated into the plan.
Do you want patios, porches or decks?
Do you prefer a large eat-in kitchen or a large formal dining room?
Will you want additional spaces for a den, home office or place for hobbies?
What about cathedral ceilings or open areas, wood burning fireplaces, large bay windows or skylights?
What are the styles of the existing homes in the area you plan to build?
Is the area you hope to build on flat, hilly or rugged terrain?
Are the lots that are available in your area narrow or wide?
Share Your Photos.
We would love to see how your new home construction is progressing; send us a few digital photos so we can share in your excitement! If we decide to use any of the photos of your finished home we will pay you $50.00 per photo.
The Pre-Drawn Advantage.
As home design professionals, we are involved in designing homes on a daily basis. We understand the challenges and nuances of home design and strive to develop plans that are functional and use space effectively in addition to providing great curb appeal.
When you purchase a pre-drawn plan license you are receiving an accurate and complete set of construction documents for a fraction of the cost to develop a similar home on a custom basis. These plans you are purchasing a license to build one time may then be modified locally to suit your specific needs and site considerations. Your finished home will include all of the custom detail options that our residential design experts have developed through years of experience designing custom homes for others.
If you choose to purchase plans as they exist without custom changes, they can be shipped to you in just a few days, completion of custom changes will be quoted to you at the time of submittal. You may then have the plans reviewed by a local residential professional for local code compliance, structural requirements and site dictated modifications. Once this local step is completed, you will be ready to apply for a building permit months earlier than if you had chosen the custom plan route.
