What if I don’t know the first thing about self build?

You don’t need to – all you need is the enthusiasm and drive to make it happen. In addition to our house designs, we offer a multitude of resources to assist you in creating your dream home – from e-Books that guide you through various elements of the project, to specifications and design details that you can mix and match to suit your own needs and tastes. We also offer free, no obligation advice as part of the service. So don’t feel daunted and overawed by the thought of taking the plunge and building the home you’ve always wanted – all the help and guidance you need is just a click or a phone call away. We are also members of NaCSBA, who offer comprehensive, impartial advice to custom and self-builders.

Why buy our house plans?

We can help to bring your dream family house design a step closer by providing high quality house plans that have already been drawn up and modelled in 3D for other customers. Designing a home from scratch means investing a lot of time and money – our house plans give you a solid starting point from which you can develop your ideas. Building your own home used to be a complex and expensive process; with our ready made self-build house designs, all of the hard work has already been done, so you can concentrate on enjoying it.

Can your plans be used for a Building Regulations application?

Unfortunately, due to changes to the Building Regulations over recent years, it’s not now possible to offer ‘off-the-shelf’ plans for a Building Regulations application. The plans available for download from our website contain all of the detail needed for a Planning Application, but Building Regs applications have to be more site-specific and contain information such as energy efficiency and water consumption calculations, which will be determined by your chosen build method and circumstances. We do, however, offer a fixed price Building Regulations service – click here for more information.

What if I want to make changes?

It’s your dream home, you can change whatever you want! Amending our plans is a straightforward process and can be done either by our designers or someone local to you – if you’d like us to provide a quote, please contact us for more information – prices start from just £50. And don’t forget that the rendered images shown are just a suggestion of how the house could look – any of our designs can be finished in whatever material you prefer, whether it be brick, stone, render or cladding! We provide the blueprint, you provide the imagination.

Do you offer printed plans?

Yes! Simply select the ‘Planning Application Drawings (Printed)’ option above.
