What is the difference between stock house plans, semi-custom house plans and custom house plans?
Custom House Plans are designed specifically for the homeowner and the lot the home will be built on.
When you choose to have a custom house plan designed for you, your unique
lifestyle and design preferences and the characteristics of your specific lot will be considered during
the design process. 61custom coordinates with your local engineer, HOA and local
building department to insert relevant notes and codes into the plans. Read more about the custom
home design process >
Semi-Custom House Plans are existing house plans that are
changed to better meet your needs. The plans may have been initially designed for another homeowner or "spec" builder,
or may be stock plans that are almost right for you, but need some changes.
Plans that are designed as spec or stock plans typically meet the needs of a wide range
of homeowners and can typically be modified to meet specific needs such as
adding a bedroom, changing a foundation type, or modifying doors, windows or
other design elements. If you like a floorplan but are interested in a different
style, or elevation, this would also fall under the semi-custom category.
Stock House Plans are plans that are designed to appeal to a
wide range of homeowners and are often purchased and built as-is. Stock house
plans tend to be less expensive than custom or semi-custom plans since designers
rely on selling multiple sets of the plans to cover the cost and time spent
designing the house plan. When purchasing a stock house plan from 61custom,
changes can be made to stock plans for an additional fee, creating a semi-custom plan that meets your
specific needs. Stock house plans typically contain general notes and details
but may require additional information and engineering specific to your
location.

Why do you offer a free house plan?
61custom offers a
free house plan exclusively through TheHousePlanSite.com. No, there's no
catch! It really is a free house plan. Offering this
plan free allows our clients to preview an example of our stock house plans
before making a purchase. The free house plan is an example of the sheets that
are typically included in a set of stock plans and can give our clients an idea
of what to expect when ordering other stock plans. When you request a copy of
the plan, you'll receive a digital
file so you must have a valid e-mail address in order to receive the free plan -
you can order blueprints through TheHousePlanSite.com or send the file to your
local printer for copies.
61custom can provide free estimates for site plans,
landscape plans, or changes to the free house plan. Fees for site plans vary
depending on the terrain and lot, and the elements that are required to be on
your site plan, but basic site plans for flat,
rectangular lots typically start at $49.
