Glendale 30-750

                    
Painted wooden shutters give this country-style home plan a nostalgic look, but at its core it has the expansive openness contemporary families want. The great room has a two-story ceiling, is richly windowed at the rear, and is totally open to the kitchen and nook. A den or home office is right inside the entry, and a screened porch is at the rear.

Clearheart House Plan featured on BYOH.COM Blog

We’d like to share a blog post from BYOH.com featuring cost to build information on Clearheart house plan.

Cost to Build a House in Alabama
              

Carl, what will a 2,400 Ranch with 800 sq ft of non living area cost to build per sq. ft. in Birmingham AL.?
Thanks,
Barry

Hi Barry,
800 sq ft of non living space is a big area that will add considerable construction cost unless you utilize an area in an unfinished basement or attic.

Since you are interested in a ranch (one level) if you build it with a basement, you will have a huge area of non living expandable space.

That’s one advantage to ranch houses, huge basements. It’s also one disadvantage as basements aren’t cheap.

On my web site page “How to Read House Plans ” I have a tip in the second paragraph that tells you that one level construction costs more per sq ft than 2 story construction, one of the reasons being the cost of a large foundation.

If your (potential) lot has enough of a slope and you can afford it, you could build a walkout basement, which would be an ideal solution.

Here’s a 2400 sq ft country home plan from Associated Designs with almost 400 sq ft of non living (bonus room) in the attic area over the garage.

The 2010 Home from the Heart Results: Heartview

By admin | 12th May 2010 | Filed under Announcements, Blog, New Home Plans


                                                                         (click image to view plan details)
                   

Heartview 50-015
                

The design created from the 2010 Home from the Heart survey results is this year’s Heartview plan. This years trend is a smaller more efficient single story ranch style home, and the great room concept remains as a strong desire. To see participants responded visit the 2010 Home from the Heart Survey Results page.

The Heartview’s natural materials cover the exterior and natural light bathes the interior, thus connecting the inside living areas with this ranch home plan’s surroundings. In the expansive great room at its heart, the kitchen is laid out along one wall, while a home entertainment center and fireplace line another. Glass in windows and doors fills most of the two exterior walls.
