Stock plan changes

Start with a plan from the catalogue and change it until it fits your lot, your family and your budget. We drew every one of these sets, so the changes come from the same office that produced the original drawings — not from a third party working around someone else's file.

Included on the top option

Plan changes come with the CAD Unlimited + PDF option on every plan. Buy that tier and adapting the design to what you want is part of the price — send the change list and we draw it. On the other three options, modifications are quoted separately.

Step 01

Send the change list

Tell us the plan number and what you want different. The more specific the list, the tighter the quote. A sketch photographed with your phone is fine.

Step 02

We quote it

You get a fixed price and a turnaround before any work starts. Modification work is quoted from an hourly rate, and small changes are genuinely small.

Step 03

Revised set delivered

You approve, we draw, and you get a revised PDF set carrying your changes. The licence you purchased covers the modified design.

What can change

Scope

Commonly changed, quickly

  • Mirroring the whole plan for a lot with the opposite orientation
  • Swapping a carport for an enclosed garage, or adding a bay
  • Turning a study or flex room into an extra bedroom
  • Moving or widening windows and doors
  • Changing the kitchen layout or the island size
  • Adding a covered patio, porch or outdoor kitchen
  • Reconfiguring closets and the utility room

Bigger changes, still possible

  • Widening or lengthening the footprint to suit your lot
  • Adding a storey, or taking one away
  • Roof pitch and material changes for snow or wind loads
  • Adapting the plan to a different foundation type for your soil report
  • Re-planning the back of the house around a view

Anything that moves structure means the structural design has to be done for the new configuration — see structural engineering.

Rather change it yourself?

Buy the CAD set for that plan and your own designer can work directly in the drawing files. Your build licence still applies to the modified design.

Starting from nothing?

If no plan in the catalogue is close, we draw from scratch. Custom design is a different conversation and a different price.
