Would you believe that it is now possible to find complete, custom home plans with blueprints on EBay for under a hundred dollars? You had better because if you go to EBay and search, you will certainly find them. Welcome to the age of cheap custom home plans online. Realistically, the plans will be stripped down and lacking in any frills, such as extra notations and such; however they will be complete and ready to use and build. For a few more dollars, you can get the electrical plans, and for additional charges, they will send you the computer aided design files that allow you, or your builder, to make changes to the design.
Essentially, you could have ready to build, cheap custom home plans for less money than a dinner for the family costs at a decent restaurant. This does not mean that you should use such a service, however. The company or designer offering the plans may not have the type of home that you are looking to build, although this problem is increasingly unlikely, as the cost of putting custom home plans on the Internet is very low and increasing the number of different plans available adds little to the work or cost involved. You may require a higher degree of customization and greater interaction with the custom home designer that you feel is not available with a discount service.
Are Custom Home Plans Really that Cheap?
The need for custom or unique services might cause a potential custom home client seek out a costlier, more experienced designer. However, low-cost, custom home plans providers on EBay also offer customization services for reasonable hourly, or flat rates. The simple fact is that many of the custom home design firms are using Internet venues like EBay to attract business. It might cost a few thousand dollars of time to create basic custom home designs, but once they are created, they can be sold repeatedly.
The real money is made when the customization services are provided, which also means that the custom home plans become a means of attracting new potential custom home clients. If things continue this way, we will soon see free custom home plans offered as a bonus to attract clients. It still costs extra money to build a custom home, but with cheap custom home plans, the overall cost of your dream home is dropping, and fast.
With modern technology, we may soon see factories that manufacture homes to specifications set by customers over the Internet-based on plans that the customer created him or herself. How soon? Maybe tomorrow; factory homes already exist online, as do interactive design services. How about a green solar home to go?
