The Southhaven Cape is a good example of a basic Cape style home expanded to include garage, mud room, and Master suite.

We can also discuss your needs and determine if you would be best served by a local designer who can visit your site and sit down with you to plan your construction project.

Keep in mind that custom design takes time to work on, print out, decide about and to make final changes.  Also, doing your planning on paper instead of with lumber and concrete can save you a lot of costly mistakes.

However, custom work is not always necessary. To save the expense of custom work please read the suggestions below for working with our standard designs.

We are still adding to our catalogue of stock residential plans, so your suggestions and ideas for plans you need are very much appreciated.
 

Please note for our stock plans:

• All items listed as "optional" on our plans are included with the standard plans so that you and your builder may choose which ones are most appropriate for you.
• All plans are available mirror image, right reading at no extra charge.  Just mark your order with the plan number and "REVERSED"
• Some changes and adjustments to our stock plans can be easily done by you or your builder by marking up the plans.  Changes such as relocating, adding or eliminating doors and windows,  adding length in +2' increments to the building (without changing rafter and floor joist spans).
• For example: If the gable end is 24', going from 24'x30' to 24'x 36' should not present a problem. Going from 24'x30' to 30'x30' would change floor joist and rafter sizing and require redesign.
• Relocating a large opening such as a garage door may require upgrading the header size.  Check with your builder, or local building department.
• Our plans are designed for Southern New Hampshire and Massachusetts conditions and may need to be adjusted for your locale and conditions.  Most common adjustments are different foundation types in different areas. Check with your builder.
