Now we have a place to call home for years to come! We must have looked a thousand house plans. The first one both my wife and I loved ended up being the same one we purchased four weeks later from House Plan Gallery. It was the best fit for our family, to us, the nicest looking one, and to be honest...the best priced web site. I have never built a house before. To be clear, I am not a carpenter by any stretch of the imagination. My decision to take a month or two off of work to be 'hands on' though proved to be a lesson in life I look back on, and am glad that I decided to do so. As the acting general contractor, I worked hand-in-hand with the local contractors that I hired to build our dream house. Before this, I couldn't have told you what a 'cripple' was or how to install counter tops. I have so many stories to tell our children and grandchildren in our adventure of building a house. When we first started, everyone told us that building a house would be an 'ultimate test' to our marriage. Having the same taste and lack of knowledge in homebuilding, we thought everyone was crazy. NOW i can say that yes, it does test your patience, and yes, it does test your marriage, and YES, we passed the test, if they are keeping score. Tackling something as big as this for the first time can be scary, but in the end, I have to say...that its worth it. Now we have a place to call home for years to come! Thanks to all the kind people at House Plan Gallery... We truly love our new home! Anthony B. DeRidder, Louisiana |

Please note that in most areas of the country, these house plans will be everything you need to build, but not necessarily everything you need to obtain a building permit.
In addition to the house plans you order, you may also need a site plan that shows where the house is going to be located on the property. You might also need beams sized to accommodate roof loads specific to your region. Your home builder can usually help you with this. You may also need a septic design unless your lot is served by a sanitary sewer system. Many areas now have area-specific energy codes that also have to be followed. This normally involves filling out a simple form providing documentation that your house plans are in compliance.
In some regions, there is a second step you will need to take to insure your house plans are in compliance with local codes. Some areas of North America have very strict engineering requirements. Examples of this would be earthquake-prone areas of California and the Pacific Coast, hurricane risk areas of the Florida, Gulf & Carolina Coasts. New York, New Jersey, Nevada, and parts of Illinois require review by a local professional as well. If you are building in these areas, it is most likely you will need to hire a state licensed structural engineer to analyze the design and provide additional drawings and calculations required by your building department. If you aren’t sure, building departments typically have a handout they will give you listing all of the items they require to submit for and obtain a building permit.
Additionally, stock plans do not have a professional stamp attached. If your building department requires one, they will only accept a stamp from a professional licensed in the state where you plan to build. In this case, you will need to take your house plans to a local engineer or architect for review and stamping. In addition, plans which are used to construct homes in Nevada are required to be drawn by a licensed Nevada architect.
