All house plans from House Plan Gallery are designed to conform to the local codes when and where the original house was constructed.

In addition to the house plans you order, you may also need a site plan that shows where the house is going to be located on the property. You might also need beams sized to accommodate roof loads specific to your region. Your home builder can usually help you with this. You may also need a septic design unless your lot is served by a sanitary sewer system. Many areas now have area-specific energy codes that also have to be followed. This normally involves filling out a simple form providing documentation that your house plans are in compliance.

In some regions, there is a second step you will need to take to insure your house plans are in compliance with local codes. Some areas of North America have very strict engineering requirements. Examples of this would be, but not limited to, earthquake-prone areas of California and the Pacific Coast, hurricane risk areas of the Florida, Gulf & Carolina Coasts. New York, New Jersey, Nevada, and parts of Illinois require review by a local professional as well. If you are building in these areas, it is most likely you will need to hire a state licensed structural engineer to analyze the design and provide additional drawings and calculations required by your building department. If you aren’t sure, building departments typically have a handout they will give you listing all of the items they require to submit for and obtain a building permit.

Additionally, stock plans do not have a professional stamp attached. If your building department requires one, they may/may not only accept a stamp from a professional licensed in the state where you plan to build. In this case, you will need to take your house plans to a local engineer or architect for review and stamping. In addition, plans which are used to construct homes in Nevada are required to be drawn by a licensed Nevada architect.

House turned out beautifully!

Excellent plans. Very easy to work with. House turned out beautifully!

I wish with everything in me that there wasn't a reason for this new house

Before anything else, you should know that I wish with everything in me that there wasn't a reason for this new house.

Four and a half years ago my wife and I were leading an ideal life. We were just starting to relax in our retirement and taking great joy from watching our four son's families grow.

But a head-on collision changed everything. It was one of my oldest sons, one of my twins. For a while we didn't believe he'd survive. And in a way, my Chris, my son I'd loved for 43 years, didn't.

Chris is 48 now. He's paralyzed on his left side and suffers from extensive brain damage. He requires total care, which his Mother and I give round the clock.

His medical condition is the reason for our new house. Our old home place was very secluded; which at one time we loved. But since Chris has frequent seizures, we need an ambulance to be able to find us fast. Also, we need to be closer to his doctors and physical therapist whom he sees three times a week.

The most imperative need for building, though, is that everything must be handicap accessible. I'm 70 and my wife, Betty, is 68 years old. So the idea of not having to fight his chair through doorways or squeeze down halls is quite appealing. And we're looking forward to the handicap bathroom like kids look forward to Christmas!

I LOVE the large rooms in this home design and the layout is absolutely perfect for our needs with no wasted space...

While I continue to pray my child will be made whole again and we wouldn't NEED this new house; it will be a great blessing and we are eager for the relief it will bring to our lives.

This is a great house for our family's needs and we would definately recommend House Plan Gallery home designs to anyone...

When we saw this house plan, we were hooked!

My wife and I began our Total Money Makeover (Dave Ramsey plan) just after college. We saved up money to make sure we could have 20% on our house. Once we saved that up we started looking. We looked at around fifty houses but none of them felt right.

At the same time, my Grandma gifted my wife and I land. So, we began looking at blue prints. We were hooked. We knew we wanted an open concept and enough room for our projected four children, so we would never have to move. Once we found this layout we knew it was the one. It was absolutley everything we were looking for.

The building process took some time, but were very happy with the outcome. Our open concept could not be better. We love to entertain, and we also have large families, so it has been so nice to have room to accomodate everything.

We are so proud of our home! And we are glad that we saved like we did because we plan on living in this home for the rest of our lives. Thank you so much!

Their customer service and turn-around time was outstanding!

We had a wonderful experience with House Plan Gallery! They had several house plans to choose from, and we were able to make revisions in order to tweak the plan to just what we were looking for. Their customer service and turn-around time was outstanding! We are happy to be in our new home, and thankful that House Plan Gallery was part of our house building journey!

There is not a thing we would change!

My wife, Reba, and I knew that the day was coming when we would have to move from our house on 16 acres where we had lived for about 20 years. While we enjoyed the woods, it would just be too much work as we grew older.

Therefore, we purchased a 1/2 acre lot on a golf course about 6 years ago, but with no immediate plans to move. While I enjoyed golf, I assured Reba that I wouldn't move until she did! Over the last 6 years, we have looked at house plans, bought house plan software, and visited open houses for new homes. There may be a house plan we haven't seen, but it is doubtful.

In January of 2012, Reba decided it was time to get serious and see if we could sell our existing house. We then started cleaning out our basement and preparing the house for sale. Of course, during the process of preparing our house for sale we also had to get serious about finding the right house plan and a builder.

After many showings but no legitimate offers, we did sell our house in July. We also settled on our house plan from House Plan Gallery. We ordered the plans as a download and proceeded to get estimates from several builders.

We feel fortunate to have found Chris Austin and Central Construction Company LLC. We also appreciate the prompt responses we received from House Plan Gallery and the architect concerning some of the changes we were anticipating. We were able to move into our new house in January, 2013, and have been very pleased with the final product.

The house plan looks very good on the lot we purchased and we have had many compliments on both the exterior and the interior. After 6 months, there is not a thing we would change and we hope to live here for many years.
