What’s Included in a Stock House Plan Set

Each set of house plans from houseplansbydavidwiggins.com provides you with the necessary information to build your home. We pride ourselves on providing construction drawings that meet the highest standard for stock house plans, including meeting the latest IRC (International Residential Code). In some cases, plans may need to be adjusted and reviewed by a structural engineer or architect to meet specific local building codes, which is why all our plans are available in a CAD format, which easily allows the design to be edited.
