Our Process
With some prior research, obtaining blueprint plans for your dream project is as easy as 1, 2, 3!
Use the following step-by-step guide to help select the perfect plans. Whether you’re looking for house plans, carriage plans, a laneway home or detached garage plans, you’ve come to the right place!
We’ve tailored many of our house plans and blueprints to the more stringent standards of larger Canadian cities like Vancouver, Calgary & Toronto. Still, anything can be customized to fit your specific needs.
Step #1
Before you can decide on the perfect set of house plans or blueprints, you need to determine what your building lot & local zoning bylaw will allow for. In particular, the square footage, lot coverage, building placement and height.
Keep These Elements in Mind...
- Size & square footage allowable
- Where can it be placed?
- Maximum height allowance
- What’s required with your permit application?
Look it Up On Your Own...
Take a look online and download a copy of your local zoning by-law.
A quick search for “your municipality name” followed by the words “zoning bylaw” in Google’s search engine should give you quick access to the necessary documents.
Ask Your Building Department
Alternatively, try calling or emailing your local building department. Be prepared to provide your address and describe what you intend to do.
They can confirm the limitations your new plans will have to fit within, thus allowing you to choose the right plan for your lot.
Step #2
Now that you’re armed with your zoned limitations browse our growing selection of plans. Adaptive House Plans offers many permit-ready blue print plans to choose from. Ensure that the plans you decide on not only suit your fancy but meet the rigours of Step #1 as well!
