Introduction: House building plans are essential for building a home, remodeling or building a home addition. House plans provide the detailed blueprints for building a home. House building plans are two dimensional drawings of the interior and exterior of the home and often landscape designs.

House building plans provide you with an idea of what the finished home, remodeling or home addition will look like when it is finished. In addition, most house building plans contain a detailed building material listing for the construction.

Home building plans enable home building contractors to quote the home building costs and building schedule. Once you have obtained all the contractor costs you can determine with a reasonable amount of accuracy how much your new home is going to cost.

In the days that have long passed, house building plans were created exclusively by architects. Home building software packages are now available that allow homeowners and builders to develop their own home building plans. Also as an alternative, there are thousands of existing house plans that you can purchase online today.

Anyone that wishes to design or build their own home can do so by purchasing home design and construction software. Most modern computers are capable of running the software with little professional skill by the operator. Home as well as remodeling and additions are easy to design with the stroke of the mouse. The completed design can be viewed in three dimensional views from nearly any position. Most of these software programs also include landscape programs that will allow you to position trees, shrubs and gardens in any position around the house.

Never have home building plans and designs been so easy for the DIY home owner. No longer does a home buyer have to settle for a contractor’s limited capability to build a house. With DIY home design software the home owner can design and either build his own home or provide a builder with a set of plans that are exactly what he wants.
