"Like many homeowners, we had purchased our lot and were anxious to get going. Getting a buildable set of construction documents within a few weeks allowed us to file our permit and get the project going. This saved thousands of dollars in carrying costs and gave us the confidence that had a very efficient building envelope to work from. From there, we were able to turn out attention to the interior details with the builder and local suppliers. Our new home is now completed and uses about 40% less energy than other homes in our neighborhood." Robert G.
"I'm a contractor and my demands were impossible. I wanted a small house where all the rooms are spacious and comfortable. I wanted an inexpensive and simple house to build where the interior is light filled and the exterior is elegant and durable. I wanted a passive solar house that I can properly orient on any building lot in my county. These guys did the impossible. A home run!" Chip Putnam, Chip Putnam Homes LLC
"We had been trying for a few years to have a house designed for a lot we owned. Unfortunately, due to our budget constraints and design needs, we could not afford the services of an architect and still afford to build the house, and were told so by several architects. Houseplans enabled us to have a quality custom designed home at a price point we could afford. No one else could provide that. Mark, our Custom Home Designer, synthesized all the information we shared, and improved upon our sketches and ideas to design a house that meets our needs but includes the "wants" we can afford. The structured, iterative design process Houseplans follows allowed us and our contractor to review plans, address cost concerns, and add new ideas that came about during the design process. Overall, our experience with Houseplans was wonderful, and we wound up with a design we love. " M. Bauer
