Step 1: Select an almost perfect floor plan
Before we dive into the nitty-gritty of customization, take some time to visualize your ideal home or garage. Picture the rooms, the layout, and the unique features that will make it stand out. Use the help of Pinterest or Houzz to imagine a space that reflects your personality and caters to your lifestyle.
Choosing a house or garage plan for construction projects in Canada and the United States requires careful consideration of various factors. While aesthetics, such as layout, window placement, and size, are essential, functionality and compliance with local building codes are crucial. A permit-ready floor plan package should include detailed drawings and documentation that meet the requirements set by local building authorities. Additionally, it’s essential to ensure that the floor plan meets your specific needs and adheres to local regulations for a successful construction project.
When navigating the Adaptive House Plans website for the perfect plan, we recommend starting with our user-friendly search filters. These filters allow you to narrow your options based on criteria such as square footage, number of bedrooms, architectural style, and more. Once you’ve refined your search, browse the available plans, and click on the ones that catch your eye. You’ll find detailed information about each plan, including floor plans, 3D renderings, and images to help you envision the space. Remember, you’re looking for a plan that makes a great starting point that might not be perfect but comes close to your vision. Any one of the plans can be customized to your exact needs. Take your time exploring the various designs and features, and don’t hesitate to contact our team if you have any questions.
Step 2: Create a list of customizations
Now comes the fun part! With your chosen house or garage plan in hand, it’s time to customize it to make it uniquely yours. This is where your creativity shines. Do you need an additional bedroom? A larger garage? A basement instead of a crawlspace? Maybe a secondary suite? No problem! Let your imagination run wild as you explore the various ways to tailor the plan to your specific needs.
We provide a list of customization ideas to spark your imagination, but it’s crucial to note that these ideas are just the start. The best part is that our capabilities extend far beyond these suggestions. We have the expertise and flexibility to accommodate nearly any change you can dream up!
With your ideas in mind, create a list of customizations by brainstorming the changes you want to make to your floor plan. Consider room layouts, energy efficiency options, accessibility features, outdoor spaces, storage solutions, technology integration etc. Once you have your list, you can complete our quote request form. If you need further assistance, contact us through live chat, email, or a phone call.
Step 3: Work with a professional & fine-tune your plan!

What does it cost to customize your plan?
Curious about the cost of customizing your plan? During Step 2, we provide a transparent pricing structure for our customization services. Our rate is $120 per hour (subject to change), with a minimum requirement of 2 hours for any customization project. As you create your list of customizations, we will provide you with an estimate of the cost based on the anticipated time needed. We keep you informed and involved throughout the process, ensuring that you have a clear understanding of the potential expenses involved in fine-tuning your plan to meet your unique specifications.
Can you create a completely custom plan?
Yes! We understand that some homeowners have a unique vision and may desire a completely custom plan tailored to their specific needs and preferences. While we can certainly accommodate such requests, it’s important to note that creating a fully custom plan can be a more involved and costly process. To ensure the highest level of expertise and attention to detail, we recommend partnering with our trusted design partners at Adaptive Design; they specialize in custom plans.
Alternatively, if you’re open to exploring existing plans that haven’t been published yet, we have a plethora of options waiting to be discovered. Let us know what you’re looking for, and we can provide you with some unpublished options. These hidden gems might be the perfect starting point.

We understand that time is of the essence when it comes to bringing your dream home to life. Once you submit your customization request, our team is committed to providing a prompt response within 2 business days. We value your time and strive to streamline the process as efficiently as possible. The duration of the customization project itself will vary depending on the complexity and extent of the changes required. However, rest assured that we work diligently to ensure a swift turnaround time. In many cases, we can have your customized plan ready within a week. This allows you to move forward with your construction plans without unnecessary delays.
Can I mirror a house plan?
If you’re interested in mirroring or flipping the plan, we can easily accommodate that during the customization process. Whether you prefer a mirrored version to better suit your lot orientation or want to explore a different layout perspective, we can make it happen. Just let us know your preference, and we’ll ensure that your customized plan reflects your desired orientation.
