3 Tips for Choosing Home Floor Plans

Is there room for growth? One of the most important things to consider when choosing home floor plans is how easy would it be to adapt for growth.  Even if you, like us, believe that your family is complete and you don’t need a larger home, you never know what the future holds.  You’ll also want to consider that a future generation or even someone you sell that home to later on may be interested in how easy it would be to add onto the home.

• Is the lot large enough to take on expansions?
• Is there an unfinished basement or attic that could be utilized for more living space?
• Are the structural walls in places that would prevent easy changes to the floor plan later?

These are all relevant questions to help you make the right choices with your home floor plans. Thinking about the future is a must.  Don’t look just at short-term for your immediate needs, but long-term for future owners.

Are plumbing and electrical needs easy to access?  One of the most frustrating things about owning a home is having to do your own home repairs.  Two of the biggest issues that will crop up and be a hassle to deal with later are plumbing or electrical problems.  By making sure your home floor plans have easy access to main plumbing and electrical needs is a must.  You’ll probably want to look for access panels on all levels of the house, or at add them to your floor plans when building from the ground up.

Does it match your daily needs?  Many families need a home with enough bedrooms and bathrooms, but also consider your everyday needs into the equation.  Things like a large enough laundry room, a full-sized garage, storage space and a large pantry in your kitchen or dining room, as well as an office or a den are all things that you will need to consider when making your home floor plans.
