New Concept House Plans

New Concept House Plans

You may be wondering, what is a concept plan? Is this the right option for me? Associated Designs’ concept plans provide an economical alternative to having a custom home designed. If you are building in an area where there are strict building requirements, or you and your builder want the flexibility to customize the technical pieces (framing, foundation, roof) to your area’s preferred practices; a concept plan is a great option!

A concept plan provides you with the essentials of the home design – exterior elevations, floor plan(s), and roof outline. While simple sounding at first, these elements would account for 50% or more of the time spent crafting a custom home design. Starting with a concept plan helps speed up your design phase while giving you the flexibility to complete the construction documents to your local building practices, codes, and site conditions.

To help get your design search underway, here are three new concept house plans!
