Free House Plans for Your next Home

Why give away free house plans? I am often asked why I give away free house plans, since everywhere else new home buyers seem to try, they nearly always find it's impossible to get them.

Instead of asking why I love to give away my house designs, a better question might be why do other building companies refuse to part with their plans to prospective new home buyers?

It is obvious that major market participants have conditioned the Market to treat the intellectual property of Building Businesses as if they were the artistic output of a Lennon & McCartney album. What utter rot. Open a snazzy CAD software package, arrange some living areas into harmonious proportions to fit a given block of land and you're nearly there. Toss in a dash of creativity and your done. Easy!

Pick up any average house plan and you're looking at something fairly basic to be brutally honest. Even so, we need to remember that not every Tom, Dick or Harry can produce nice house plans, so they are worth something, dollar-wise.

Why then make them available as 'Free House Plans', and not 'Cheap House Plans'? It's not all that complicated if you carefully consider what is the actual 'value' of a set of house plans.

What is gained by possessing the use of the plan, and what is lost if the plan is in fact 'given away' as a Free House Plan?

It's obvious someone had to do the original work, so who paid them, and why? Once any builder has completed a few projects, he usually retains ownership of the plans from such projects.

Even in the rare instance where a home was designed, but the project did not proceed, the compensation is usually adequate in the averages. Whatever the circumstances, you can be reasonably sure the genius that drew it was compensated.

Another argument builders use is about the uniqueness of their designs, yet you will recognize common features in all these "unique" creations. The important thing to remember is, even though I give my plans away, I actually don't lose ownership of them. No matter how many times I give them away, my free house plans are still in my possession, safely tucked away on my website.Giving away my house plans doesn't cost me anything at all.

Quite the opposite. My business would suffer if I took away one of it's most popular free services. House plans are used two ways: as a producer and as a user. You're a user - you're intending to use a house plan to create your new home. You're looking for features you like, space usage that suits your needs and desires.

You're searching for information, and copyright restrictions on the free use of House plans are restricting your options. Building companies should be judged on much more important factors like quality of workmanship and ability to deliver on time, rather than how big their house plan scrap book is.
