  • Exterior Elevations (front, rear and side)
  • Roof Plan
  • Electrical Plan (combined with floor plan)
  • Door and Window Schedules
  • Standard Details (Footings, Wall Sections, Etc.)

For custom house plans my standard rate is 50¢ per square foot of heated space (i.e. if the house I design for you has 1800 sq. ft. of heated or living space, your full price for a set of plans would be $900.00 or 0.50 x 1800).
