The Essentials of a Successful Home Plan Set

SketchPad blueprints and construction drawings are intentionally simple and straightforward, yet fully provide the exacting detail necessary for complete construction.

While others may provide varying levels of detail in their home plans, we have worked with hundreds of customers and builders to refine our home plan sets to include only what's necessary.

SketchPad customers pay one simple price for a comprehensive package backed by proven expertise and an established reputation.

Here's an overview of what's included in a typical SketchPad Home Plan Set:

• Title Sheet. This page includes a color rendering of your home and an overview of the floor plan.
• Floor Plans, Roof Plans and Foundation Plans. These plans detail the location, dimension and structural requirements of your home. Roof plans also illustrate pitch, composition and overhang sizes. Framers use this information for project estimates and to plan work on-site.
• Exterior Elevations. SketchPad gives you front, rear and side elevation views, illustrating exterior materials, details, wall heights, roof pitches, window location and sizes.
• Building Construction Details. This section gives your builder ceiling heights, a sense of overall home construction and wall sections, including material callouts, eave detail, roof pitch and foundation construction.
• Recommended Interior & Exterior Trim and Detailing. Every SketchPad home was specifically designed to achieve a highly livable and comfortably beautiful, proportioned space. For that reason, each blueprint comes with recommended styles for your interior and exterior doors, window trim, baseboards, garage doors and, if applicable to your house style, columns and brackets.

SketchPad Home Plan Sets also include these two FREE bonuses:

• Personal Planning Book. This is your own personal survival guide. It includes a portable version of the plans so you can always have it at your fingertips for reference, such as when selecting finishing materials, appliances, etc.
• Supplemental Interior and Exterior Trim and Detailing Package. Every SketchPad home plan comes with recommendations for interior and exterior trim and detailing. You can follow our recommendations or work with your builder and interior designer to select one of the other options included in the package. You ll receive ideas and options for flower boxes, shutters, exterior doors, garage doors and — inside your home — refined moldings and baseboards, interior doors and window and door trim.
