Sally and I operate a private company called Siskiyou Cedar Homes (www.siskiyoucedarhomes.com) which is a dealership for Pan Abode Homes, Inc. The concept is pre-cut frame homes that come on a truck. A contractor can put it together or, like Sally and I did 36+ years ago, you can do it yourself.
The idea is that the materials are kiln-dried, not wet green lumber that is warped and moldy. And it's pre-cut to reduce waste. The most popular style is conventional stud wall design with the typical exterior siding and sheetrock inside although there are other styles that feature more of a cedar look.
We have the plan books and samples here at our office or you can order them online from Pan Abode at www:panabodehomes.com for about $20. It's called the Custom Home Guide and in addition to a DVD there is a book with several dozen suggested floor plans.
But most of our clients either amend one of the plans in the book or submit their own. Either way the design cost is part of the package and by the time you are ready to build you will have the conventional, large-paper plans to give your contractor.
If you are thinking of saving some money and getting a full-custom home at the same time give us a call. Kits start around $25 a square foot so there is a lot of money you can save with this program.
