Free House Plans
"Should You Use Random House Plans Found on the Net?"
We all know what's great about free house plans. They don't cost anything, of course ; ) But what is not so great is most home plans available on the net cannot be used "as is" to build a house. Why? Because each area across your state, province or country may have very unique rules about building a home. Therefore, if you come across a set of plans that interest you while surfing the net, please bear this important fact in mind. Modifications to your house blueprints may be required before your local building code department will approve them for construction. In most cases (almost all) you will need the plans redrafted to suit the requirements. | For example: |  | - Footing sizes may vary
- Roof loads can be different
- A basement may be required
- Floor joists may need resizing
- and so on...
| So what is the point of using free house floor plans? Well, they can be a great starting point toward narrowing down the type of house you are looking to build. An exercise in house brainstorming, if you will. Once you find a set of floor plans of the type of house that interests you, you should speak with your local building controls office to find out what will be required from you in the form of house construction plans. Many building departments may want to see the following home construction documents: - Site plan
- Floor plans
- Foundation plan
- Roof plan
- House Elevation drawings
- Details of special areas of construction
- Building section
- Construction notes
- Window, door and framing schedules
