Finding a suitable set of house plans can be a long and expensive process. Firstly, the selection of the architect can be enough to frustrate a new home owner from the get go.

How many levels do you want?

Depending on where you plan to build, you may be limited to how high you can go. Some residential areas pose restrictions and obligations on the use of a section. Your local council/land information department will have all this information. Building a two story home may help maximize the use of a small section, and/or take advantage of surrounding views.

What size of house are you looking at?

A scale plan will provide you with dimensional information about your house layout, giving you an idea of what land / section area you will require. It is a good idea to think about the indoor flow you want to create and which rooms you want adjacent to each other for design and functionality.

Take the time to walk around your neighborhood and check out the different houses in your area. Seeing the types of housing plans people have used nearby should give you a good indication of certain environmental or legislative issues you need to take into consideration.Houses in cold areas where there is a large amount of rain or snow fall tend to have elevated foundations to prevent water damage.

In certain climates, houses will also have a limited number of windows to maintain insulation. Specific neighborhoods also have restrictions on how high you can build or what types of setbacks you need. Seeing other houses in the area can help alert you to these limitations.

Once you have an idea of the type of style you are looking for, check out sites online to see if they have pre-completed house plans that fit what you are looking for. Even if you don’t end up using the plans or you choose to adapt them, it is worth your time to check out potential plans for idea inspiration. A few companies, such as Free Green, now offer full sets of completed house plans for a variety of designs.

The floor of the coop should be sloped downward towards the main door so that water will automatically drain out of the coop, instead of puddling in the middle. You should also build the doors so that they open inward instead of outward.

If your coop is made out of wood, be sure to protect the wood using proper protectants. The last thing you want is rotting wood because you washed it frequently.
