Building a home is a thrilling and daunting experience–and one where budget is of critical importance. If you’re trying to decide how much home you can afford or you’re in the process of interviewing builders, purchasing a Bid Set of your favorite home can make a lot of sense.

What Is a Bid Set?

A Bid Set is an incomplete set of digital plans marked “Not For Construction.” It includes several plan sheets with enough information for a builder to provide a “bid” or estimate for what the approximate cost would be to build the home. Your builder will also need to know your preferences on material and finish quality (for example, builder-grade, average, high-end, etc.) in order to provide a more accurate bid.

What’s Included in Our Bid Sets?

• 2D Elevations - Views of the home from the front, rear, left, and right that also include roof pitches
• Floor Plans - These sheets show the layout of each floor of the home. All doors and windows are identified and dimensioned. Walls, stairways, niches, appliances, and built-ins are noted.

Please note that our Bid Sets are marked “Not For Construction” and are copyright-protected. Purchasing a Bid Set does not provide you with a license to build the plan and to do so would violate copyright laws.
