Small house plans are architectural designs for homes between 1,000 and 2,000 square feet. These plans are ideal for building lots that require smaller construction footprints. They are also cost-effective, as they require fewer materials and man hours to construct than larger homes. If you want to make an environmentally friendly choice, a small house plan will use fewer resources over the years, too.
We offer a wide variety of small home plans, including one- and two-story layouts in all architectural styles. Many include open-concept living spaces, flexible bonus spaces, and options for attached and detached garages to help them adapt to different needs.
Small house plans are budget-friendly, first of all. They require less energy to heat/cool, have lower maintenance costs, and are generally more environmentally friendly compared to larger homes. And the smaller the footprint, the more you can save on land costs, too. This means you can invest in property in a desirable location without breaking the bank!
