good free home plan sites?

[RyanbabZ71]

Anyone know of a good free home plan site? I am in the process of buying some land right now and then building a house in the next 2 yrs.

Coolhouseplans off the top of my head...You can see the floorplans, and estimate the cost of building in your area, but for the actual blueprints, you have to purchase.

 

Hope that helped.

We got our plans from Design Basics They have a large selection of homes at a decent price. Think we paid $900 for our plans while a friend had an architect draw up their plans for $5,000.

thanks guys

 

so far i am using dreamhomesource.com

 

I am looking at two story houses with a porch and a BIG garage

 

I almost have a lot picked out. Yesterday I went to look at em. The streets arent in only dirt (MUD) roads. I wish they would leave em that wait it would be alot of fun living there

if you goto office depot or a place like that you can usually get software where you can build your house, and landscape....decks...all that stuff.....get a version that is a year old and it only runs about 40 bucks....It looks like a lot of fun just to play with if nothing else

Go to barnes and nobles and pick up a design magazine, you can get 100's of ideas out of there.

 

Are you planning on using an existing design or taking it a step further and designing it yourself?

I make my own, just can't wait to get my own land to start building it.

 

 

I just sit around when I get bored and just start drawing crap up, sometimes it turns out workable sometimes not.
