Ordering terms

Ordering, Customization, and Final Plan Changes

House Plans Xpress provides practical plan ordering support, but customers are responsible for choosing a plan, communicating requested changes clearly, and confirming local project needs.

Plan Selection and Customization

Customers should choose the closest base plan and provide clear notes for any requested changes. Customization is generally included unless square footage is added, but current pricing and order details should be confirmed before purchase.

  • Keep your plan number and order information
  • Mark requested changes clearly
  • Provide extra notes when needed
  • Ask questions before final plans are prepared

Changes After Final Plans

If House Plans Xpress misses a requested change, corrections may be handled without an added correction charge. If a customer decides to change something after receiving the final plans, additional charges may apply for revised plans or extra copies.

  • Review markup plans carefully
  • Make design decisions before final plans are printed
  • Confirm requested changes before completion
  • Contact House Plans Xpress if something is unclear

What the Copy Permission Does and Does Not Allow

  • Copies may be made for parties responsible for planning, permitting, construction, and inspection of the new home.
  • The right to copy plans does not allow the purchaser to sell the plans to others.
  • HousePlansXpress.com and Wilcox Design & Builders retain the copyright and the exclusive right to sell the plans.
  • Contact House Plans Xpress before using plans in a way that is not clearly covered by this limited copy permission.
