Can't seem to find the perfect set of house plans? If you've spent
hours looking for the perfect set of house plans from a homebuilder
or online plan store, search no more.
If you're planning on building a new home, but want a set of house plans that are truly unique, use our New House Plans service for an original, one-of-a-kind house design from a licensed architect.
VirtualArchitect's New House Plans are:

- Designed to your specifications by real architects.
- Computer-generated, professional architectural plans.
- Designed to meet the standard building codes and climactic requirements
of your region.
- Construction drawings that can be used by your contractor to successfully build your new house.
- The same plans you would get from a traditional architectural
firm but more affordable and faster.
Our New House Plans are detailed and specific so that you can:
- Obtain financing from a bank.
- Find how much your project should cost before you consult with
a contractor.
- Receive accurate and competitive contractor bids.
- Successfully (and economically) build your new house.
With our New House Plans, VirtualArchitect.com will translate your ideas and
budget into a complete set of computer-drafted construction drawings,
including detailed floor plans, exterior elevations, site plan, framing
plans, and a foundation plan.
We offer two levels of service for our New House Plans:
- Basic Design Service for floor plans and exterior elevations only.
- Full Service Design Package for a full set of construction
drawings.
If you're not sure which service to use, e-mail
us.
Basic Design Service for New House Plans: Includes basic house plans and a cost estimate of your project. Use this service if:
- You want to visualize your new house ideas on paper first and find out how much your project will cost before you get a full set of construction drawings.
- You don't plan to build your new house right away, but would like to start developing its design.
- You're applying for a construction loan from a bank and need to submit house plans in your loan application.
- You want to price your new house project with contractors before you get a full set of construction drawings.
The plans you receive as part of our Basic Design Service for New House Plans include:
- Floor plans
- Exterior Elevations
If you want to start out slowly and visualize your new house before you commit
to a builder set of New House Plans, we suggest you use our Basic
Design Service first. Once you are ready to build your project, you
can get a full set of construction/permit plans from us. The money
you pay for the basic service will be deducted from our Full Service
Design Package, which includes a site plan, framing and foundation
plans.
Cost: We determine our fee on the size and complexity of
your project. The completion time for our Basic Design Service is
generally 6 to 8 weeks.
