Q&A

How much do custom house plans cost?
Cost for plans vary from job to job, the average price is around $1500 - $2000. You will always receive a plan cost estimate before we start.

Do your plans meet all of the building codes?
All plans meet the 2006 I R C which is what Omaha currently uses.

How long does it take to get builder-ready plans?
Final plans are completed after 1 or 2 preliminary drafts.

I can't draw so how do I tell you what I'm looking for? Do you have pictures to pick from?
Most people know what they like and they will have pictures from different magazines and I just put it all together for them in one plan.

Can you alter the drawings if I change my mind about a floor plan detail or exterior trim?
Plans can be altered all the way through the process. If there are changes after the plans are done, there could be a hourly charge.

Will I know the cost to build so I don't end up with plans for a house I can't afford?
Rough building cost estimates can be given based on the square footage but a client should also be talking with a builder throughout this process as well. Sometimes it is a good idea to consult a builder first.

Do you work with the builder if he has questions while the house is being built?
I work with the builders all the way through.  Before, during and after.
