Let's get started on how to

Purchase Plans

Our pre-designed home plans have been thoughtfully developed over the last 30 years. Browse our plans on the plans page where you can sort by total square footage, number of bedrooms and bathrooms, as well as many more determining items.

Our plan pages contain

Name and plan number
Interior & exterior renders
Plan specs

Typically all of this information will assist you in determining if the plan is right for you.

Once you have selected the perfect plan,

select the appropriate package for purchase. Packages include CAD, PDF or Hard-Copy options. Some plans may also have additional design options including, foundation type, or reversed plans.

The Process 1

Construction License

Construction Licenses grant the purchaser a one-time construction license to build the home depicted in the plans that they have purchased from Straightline Design®. This includes the right to make minor modifications to the plans, including any alterations needed for code compliance.
The Process 2

Promotional License

Promotional Licenses grant the purchaser use of promotional materials to be provided by Straightline Design®. Promotional materials can include, but are not limited to; renderings, simplified floor plans, and 3-D flythrough videos. Under this agreement, purchasers are granted use of the materials for their website, social media accounts, or physical handouts, while Straightline Design® retains all rights to the copyrighted material.

It may be that the plans are perfect for you, but if you would like custom modifications to any of our plans, complete the custom alterations form on the plans page and we can provide a free no-obligation quote for the work.

Payment for the plans and custom alteration will need to be submitted prior to the completion of any work.
