By the time you are ready to purchase your house plans, it is assumed that you have done all of the necessary preparation to get to that point. Notice that I said "assumed". There are several things that must be considered before you decide on a house plan and surprisingly many people just do not come prepared. Below you will find a small checklist that can be used as a guideline in the process of finding the right house plan for your specific needs.
(1) Select and purchase land to build on
It is important that you know your land restrictions (set backs, maximum size of house plan footprint), soil conditions (land suitable for building on), topography (if suitable for basement or slab foundation), easements, neighborhood (covenants), taxes, cost for site preparations, and other factors that may affect your decision on selecting house plans.
(2) Choose a builder
Take the time to find a home builder that you feel comfortable with. Get referrals from friends and family, check the Builder's background, and talk with previous customers of the builder. Talk to the builder about your needs and wants where both parties can understand what's expected of each.
