The first thing you discover about us is that we have eight different floor plans, but you are not entirely sure what a floor plan includes or what we include in each of the various floor plans. The first thing you learn is that a floor plan is merely a drawing or layout of the home’s design. A floor plan shows the location of the home’s interior, such as where the walls begin and end, the placement of the windows, the exterior and interior doors, and stairwells. The floor plan shows all fixed components, such as kitchen appliances and cupboards, work islands, bar and patio doors, and more depending on your desires and the standard house plans. Bathrooms show the location of the tub and shower, sinks, toilet, and more depending on your additional options. We will provide an in-depth, detailed plan for your future green home, including the following.

The Purpose of Scaled Drawings for Your Home

The purpose of floor plans is to give you and our team a bird’s-eye view of what your entire home looks like before the build begins. These plans are subject to change by us with your approval and agreement. You can also request changes be made to our plans if we agree that it is in your best interest. We will include the square footage of the home on the floor plans as well as all measurements, furniture placements, appliances, and everything else necessary to your ideas for creating your dream home. These plans are essential to establish where electrical wiring runs to various planned lighting, appliances and outlets. These plans are also crucial to the plumber, giving them an idea of what you require in the area of water supplies inside and outside the home. Heating and cooling professionals need to know where to hook up your HVAC system and where to run the duct work and to which rooms. Plans for your future home are not just for us, but for the whole team of professionals responsible for making sure you have a beautiful and safe home to move into on your scheduled date. A floor plan draws out where property lines end. This information helps us in landscaping your property and in installing sidewalks and driveways. Additionally, these plans lay out the location of trees, shrubs, fences, and flowerbeds. No builder can do an excellent job without a detailed and complete floor plan.

It Takes the Expertise of a Skilled Home Builder

Not everyone can draw up floor plans, as they take the expertise of an architect or seasoned building contractor. This type of written plan is drawn to scale, showing your future green home from above looking down into the structure of the house. If the home has more than one level, including the basement, the builder sketches out each floor according to scale. This plan includes how rooms space out, stairs, hallways, entries, walls and their lengths, room sizes, and more. The plan that the builder provides to you gives you a clear and concise idea of what your home is going to look like exactly. There are some builders and buyers who agree that floor plans are not a vital part of a new home build and rely on photographs to meet this need. There are far more building contractors, including us, who say these plans are crucial and a necessary step toward creating the type of quality home you expect.

Advanced Technology Offers a Unique Look

One way to draw out the plans is to define them in 3D. These plans provide the buyer with a virtual look at their new home. A 3D image conveys a better look into what the house offers. However, if you are trying to keep cost down, you may not want to go with a 3D image, since it can be considered an added, unnecessary expense to some. A drawing rendering of the interior and exterior of your home is usually quite sufficient to give you a good idea of the layout of the house.
