Plans on HPZplans.com were designed to meet building codes at the time of their design, such as the International Residential Code. Due to regional requirements such as: high wind areas, seismic conditions, soil conditions, snow loads and other specific circumstances, we strongly recommend that the plans be reviewed by a local engineer or architect before starting construction. In fact, many local building departments may require it. Please contact your local building department to verify before placing your order.

No, the plans sold on HPZplans.com are NOT stamped by a structural engineer or registered architect. Due to regional requirements such as: high wind areas, seismic conditions, soil conditions, snow loads and other specific circumstances, we encourage you to consult with an engineer or architect familiar with conditions in your area prior to building. In addition, local building departments may require that the plans be reviewed and/or modified to comply with local requirements. Please contact your local building department before placing your order.

Unless you purchase Cad Files, which include an unlimited use license, plans that are purchased give you the right to build one (and only one) plan. Due to copyright laws, building more than one structure from the purchased plan is illegal. If you would like to build one of our plans multiple times, please contact our customer service center to insure compliance with copyright laws.

We recommend purchasing “PDF” files to build your home. This gives you the flexibility to print as many sets as you need to construct your home and also allows you the liberty of emailed your plans to vendors, subs and bankers. The following individuals or groups will typically need at least one set: your builder, subcontractors, lending agency, local building department, architectural review board, and one for yourself. You should also allow for some sets not being returned from bidders, stolen or lost. If you purchase printed sets from HPZplans.com additional sets can be ordered up to 180 days after the initial purchase.

There are several benefits to purchasing a pre-drawn house plan instead of having a custom home designed. The most important benefits are time and cost. Pre-drawn plans typically cost less than a thousand dollars and can be in your hands within days. Custom plans can cost as much as 4-5 dollars per square foot and can take months to complete. Most pre-drawn plans have been sold and built for years, therefore the design of the plan has usually been refined many times to achieve the best possible layout.

A plan layout may work better if it is “flipped”. For example, If the garage is on the left in the original plan and it would work better to have it on the right…”mirroring” or “flipping” the plan may be the best solution.

Since, square footage is one of the primary factors in selecting a plan, we understand its importance. Square footage calculations can vary depending on how the calculation is achieved. Unfortunately, there is not an “industry standard” approach to square footage calculations. Some designers may calculate the area to the outside of the exterior studs while others may include the entire exterior wall thickness including brick or other masonry veneers. These separate approaches could result in a difference of 50 or more square feet (depending on the size of the plan).

Equally important to the “Living” or Heated/Cooled square footages are the “other” areas that must be factored in to the equation such as Garages, Covered Porches, and Uncovered Patios to name a few. These spaces and areas often get overlooked but are critical to the square footage calculation and/or cost to build. Most of our plans provide square footage for these spaces to assist in the decision-making process. If you have concerns about the square footages, please contact us prior to purchasing.
