One of the most important parts of the home-building process is selecting the right floor plan for your new home. Finding the perfect floor plan can be a little more complicated than it sounds. Not everyone looks at floor plans in the same way. As builders, we look at a floor plan and visualize what needs to happen in each area of the home to create the end product—your dream home. However, homeowners have a completely different perspective when reviewing floor plans. They’re not thinking of boards and drywall and wiring—they’re thinking about finished rooms. That’s not always easy when you’re staring at black lines on white paper. How do you choose a floor plan for a new house? We're so glad you asked!
