Catalog home plans can provide an excellent solution for homeowners or builders who are looking for a cost effective and time critical solution.

The major benefit of using a catalog plan over a custom designed plan is a cost savings of up to 60%. Secondly, the delivery timetable cannot be matched as a catalog plan can be shipped when ordered, versus an average six week delivery on custom plans.

The critical considerations when deciding to order a catalog plan are the lot size and set-backs requirements for your lot, which must match or be larger than the size of the catalog plan you are interested in. Check with your city or county planning department to determine what these are.

Of course, specific style, number of stories, and living square footage are other important personal considerations. If all of these elements can be satisfied by the catalog plan you like, the entire process of home design becomes much easier because your plans are ready to be printed.

At Design Residential, we provide an excellent choice of catalog home plans to make the choice of a home design simple and effective. Our plans are categorized by lot type (level, hillside, corner, accessory dwelling and multi-family), so you could begin there. Or, use our data base search engine to enter other critical items such as house width (determined by subtracting required side setbacks from lot width), living square footage, number of bedrooms and bathrooms, number of stories, and style. The website search engine will match what you are looking for and bring to the forefront the houses that match your search.

If time and money are considerations, consider purchasing one of our catalog plans. Visit www.designresidential.biz, click on the home plan catalog tab and explore our excellent variety of catalog plans.
