Custom plans

A plan drawn for your lot

When a ready plan doesn't fit the lot, the budget or the way the space will be used, we draw one. Our designers work with our builders, so the plan is priced as it's drawn.

Three ways in

How custom do you need?

Change a ready plan

Move a wall, add a bedroom, flip it to fit the yard. The quickest way to a plan that feels like yours.

Design from scratch

A floor plan drawn around your lot, your budget and how the space will be used: a rental, family, or an office.

Fit a hard lot

Slopes, odd shapes, tight setbacks, a unit over the garage. We draw what the lot allows.

When it makes sense

Lots and plans that need one

Hillside or sloped lots

Stepped foundations, retaining walls and access drawn in from the start.

Narrow or odd-shaped lots

A footprint shaped to the setbacks instead of a box that almost fits.

Over a garage or two stories

More living space on a small footprint, with the structure worked out early.

Matching the main house

Roofline, windows and materials that read as one property, for HOAs and historic streets too.

Several units on one lot

Site plans for more than one ADU, including apartment properties under SB 1211.

A specific use

Room for an aging parent, wheelchair access, a home office or a rental layout.

Questions

About custom plans

Does a custom plan cost more?

Design costs more than starting from a ready plan. A plan drawn for the lot can save on site work, and you see the full price in writing before you commit to building.

Can you change a ready plan instead?

Yes. Small changes keep most of the speed of a ready plan.

Who draws it?

Our own designers, working with our builders, with structural engineering and the energy report done for the permit set.
